Old Ebbitt Grill

DOWNTOWN. Since 1856, this landmark bar and restaurant has served DC's power class. Rich with furnishings, including Teddy Roosevelt's hunt trophies, the place never fails to satisfy. It's a great place to get that perfect martini and enjoy the raw oyster bar, which carries more then seven types of oysters. Four bar areas help accommodate crowds of patrons: one, the Corner Bar is intimate, with private booths, while another one, the Old Bar is more open and conducive to mingling. All are constantly crowded, but don't be intimidated. Order up a drink and give your conversational skills a workout. Late night dining available. METRO: Metro Center
