EAT THIS
Yet another faux-speakeasy opens in D.C. tonight. The Speak—from former One Lounge owner Seth McClelland—doesn’t have rules like other bars harkening back to the Prohibition era, but it does have a secret entrance down a set of stairs and behind a mirrored door. Once inside, you’ll find familiar cocktails like a margarita or Moscow mule plus some lesser-known drinks using the bar’s housemade infusions. Snacking is limited to Lay’s potato chips, but the owner may bring in other food vendors down the line. Read more on Young & Hungry. The Speak, 1413 K St. NW (downstairs). thespeakdc.com.
