Tavern Law is an award-winning craft cocktail bar on Capitol Hill that's been pouring drinks since 2009. The main floor serves elevated American fare and classic cocktails in a historic building with Prohibition charm. But the real gem is upstairs: Needle and Thread, an intimate reservation-only speakeasy hidden behind an antique telephone in the back of the bar. You pick up the old phone, the vault door slides open, and you enter a space where there is no printed menu. Your bartender learns your tastes and builds custom drinks from scratch, one round at a time. It's the kind of personalized cocktail experience that makes you feel like a regular from your first visit.
