Lounge 201

The curved red line of the countertop catches your eye when you enter this Capitol Hill martini lounge, where young professionals gather at happy hour to sip cocktails or shoot billiards while jazz plays in the background. Over 17 martinis are available, ranging from the classic Three-Olive to the Mandarin Madness to the Tiramisu Tini, and a limited menu offers high-end specialties such as calamari and flatbread pizza. For a quieter evening, patrons may retreat to a swanky leather booth or lounge on the couches in the next room. METRO: Union Station
