Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar

Washington, DC


If Alice had returned from Wonderland so traumatized by her near beheading that she needed a stiff drink, we imagine she’d pop down to Little Miss Whiskey’s. She’d love the whimsical-meets-dark-nightmares decor. And she’d probably have fun with the club kids partying on the upstairs dancefloor on weekends. She'd also adore the weirdly fantastic back patio.

The excellent beer and whiskey menu and savvy staff make this feel like a bartender’s bar.
