On the road to the White House at 1600 K Street democracy continues its reign at this most American of saloons. You will find yourself entering a dining room of timeless comfort and old school charm. Stained oak and mosaic tile floors, red leather pub banquets and walls "cluttered" with eccentric portraits and nostalgic photos from archivists construe a distinctly Washington sensibility. The high tin ceilings are adorned with eclectic 1940's period lighting, pendants and chandeliers salvaged from historic buildings up and down the east coast and lovingly restored. A grand, bespectacled FDR resides at the bustling Main bar flanked by marble topped Raw Bar where seasoned bartenders and shuckers apply their trade.
