The Green Zone
The Green Zone stands as DC's first and only standalone Middle Eastern cocktail bar, celebrating the vibrant flavors of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, and beyond through craft cocktails and thoughtful mixology. Vintage Arabic and Turkish coffee pots line the downstairs walls alongside travel posters, while Moroccan zellij tile adorns the bartop, creating an atmosphere steeped in regional authenticity. Signature drinks like The Mint Lemonade, originally seasonal but now a permanent favorite, refresh with blended simplicity, while The Ottoman Times remixes the classic old-fashioned with pomegranate and Arabian bitters. The downstairs lounge invites relaxation, while upstairs transforms into a dance floor featuring Middle Eastern and Latin tracks on weekends. With flavors of pomegranate, apricot, tea, pistachio, and arak flowing through both food and drink, you're transported across the Mediterranean with every visit.
