McClellan's Retreat is a cozy basement bar with a dark yet inviting atmosphere, adorned with Christmas lights. The limited seating and low ceiling enhance the intimate ambiance, making it feel like a hidden gem. Known as one of the best bars in DC, it offers unique cocktails like the orchid and Pepperbox, with the latter getting spicier as it melts. The bartenders are friendly and attentive, providing great recommendations and creating epic themed menus regularly. The food menu is light and perfect for a snack between Happy Hour and dinner. The decor is hip, and while the prices are not budget-friendly, they reflect the high-quality drinks made with top-shelf liquor. Overall, McClellan's Retreat offers a delightful experience, making it a recommended spot for a fun night out in the city.
