The Mirror

Loading who’s going…

✨ 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.

ℹ️ Need to Know

  • The Mirror operates exclusively on a first-come, first-serve basis, making it a great choice for spontaneous nights out; it is a strictly 21+ venue.
