Bar Rouge
Washington, DC

Decked in red, this D.C. eatery and lounge has the hip meter turned way up. You'll enjoy the long, cozy banquettes, upholstered walls and reasonable decibel level. A flat screen display dissolves from one tranquil scene to another over the bar. Bar Rouge serves breakfast, lunch and light before-or-after-anything meals in the evening. Mix the hip ambiance with adventurous cocktails, and Washington has the perfect place to hang out.
