ROUND ROBIN BAR
since 1847, Round Robin Bar has been a gathering place for DC’s political and social elite.
nicknamed the “Oval Office of Bars” by Condé nast Traveler, it blends rich history with
timeless style.
The bar’s signature Mint Julep was introduced to Washington by Kentucky statesman Henry Clay in
the 1830s, made with bourbon, fresh mint, and turbinado sugar—a tradition proudly upheld today.
Oak-paneled walls display portraits of the Willard’s guests: presidents, diplomats, while the bar’s
circular design invites conversation, camaraderie, and people-watching.
From its role in the founding of the National Press Club to decades of political and social gatherings,
Round Robin offers guests a taste of American history. Classic cocktails, seasonal creations, and
elevated bites combine with a luxurious, intimate atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for
cultural heritage travelers seeking a quintessential D.C. experience.
