The Mirror
The Mirror sits just three blocks from the White House, hidden behind an elegant full-length mirror in a gilded frame on K Street. You'll descend a nondescript black stairwell and pass through that famous mirror to enter a dimly lit prohibition-era playground. The atmosphere feels like stepping back in time, with old-school hip-hop from the 80s and 90s setting the mood, and the space features mostly high-top tables and leather couch seating arranged for mingling. The bartenders here know their craft, serving expertly made classics like the Aviation, Old Fashioned, and Sazerac alongside custom creations tailored to your preferences. The food menu is simple, focusing on bar snacks like olives, chips, and cookies. No reservations means first-come, first-served, so come early to claim a spot in this iconic underground haunt that captures the essence of the 1920s.
