The Mirror
✨ Vibe
A swanky and intimate underground speakeasy that blends prohibition-era mystery with a trendy, upscale energy and creative, photo-worthy design.
🍸 Best For
Intimate date nights, post-dinner cocktails, small group celebrations, and cocktail enthusiasts looking for a hidden gem near the White House.
🔥 Highlights
- Iconic Secret Entrance: Guests experience the thrill of a true speakeasy by descending a nondescript black stairwell and entering through a clever full-length mirror.
- Masterful Mixology: The bar features a sophisticated menu of 1920s-inspired classics—like the Aviation, Corpse Reviver #2, and Sazerac—crafted by knowledgeable bartenders who also excel at creating custom, off-menu requests.
- Upscale Atmosphere: With its low lighting, great music, and "vibey" decor, the venue offers a perfect balance between a chill lounge and an upbeat social scene in the heart of downtown.
