Jack Rose Dining Saloon

Washington, DC


Walk into Jack Rose and you know you’ve hit the whiskey jackpot. Hundreds of bottles stack the shelves – 2687 bottles, to be exact. It's the largest whiskey collection in the western hemisphere. The space contains multiple bars on three stories, each with a different feel and different cocktail menu. No wonder it's been called the center of the whiskey universe.

Here's the lineup: you’ve got the main Dining Saloon, where you can order from the full restaurant menu (Southern-tinged American fare) and cigar menu to go with your booze; the Open-Air Terrace, with its retractable roof and upscale snack menu; the groovy Tiki Bar, a festive seasonal space; and the basement whiskey Cellar, where entrance is by reservation only (text 202-607-1572). If you're not feeling the whiskey urge, you can also opt for unique cocktails, wines from around the world and more than 20 beers on tap.
