Service Bar is a quirky, unpretentious laid-back hangout on U Street that serves as a breath of fresh air in the cocktail bar scene. Known for some of DC's best fried chicken sandwiches and innovative cocktails, this neighborhood spot was created by seasoned industry veterans Chad Spangler and Glendon Hartley as an alternative to more serious, pricey cocktail bars. The cocktail menu features easy-going drink combos with quirky names like the Savory Sour and Strawberry Sayonara, proving that serious craft doesn't require pretension. The bar landed a spot on North America's 50 Best Bars list multiple years running. The intimate bar-within-a-bar setup creates different vibes depending on where you sit. Small groups can reserve the Snug Room for special occasions, adding a private speakeasy feel to your night. Open from Tuesday through Saturday with great happy hour prices early in the week, this is where locals with real taste come to drink expertly crafted cocktails while eating excellent fried chicken and maintaining the kind of casual warmth that makes neighborhood bars special.
