Code Red

You’re going to be asked for the secret code (it’s red) when you knock on the door of this Adams Morgan speakeasy. The host will escort you into the dark, deep red room where the bartenders are wearing newsboy hats and sequined shirts. You’ll find a lot of absinthe on the menu, which is broken up into before, during, and after prohibition. Come on Tuesdays for $1 oysters, and relax to the swing music playing in the background as you sip cocktails like the Southside, a gin, lemon, and mint that may or may not have been Al Capone’s favorite drink.
