speakeasy

The Mirror is an intimate, 1920s‑style speakeasy located beneath K Street NW in downtown Washington, D.C. Housed behind an unmarked storefront, guests must descend a flight of stairs and pull aside a full‑length mirror to enter the 55‑seat cocktail den—a hidden world of Prohibition-era charm. Inside, expect dim, sexy lighting and a curated selection of classic cocktails—Old Fashioned, Sazerac, Aviation, Tom Collins, and Corpse Reviver #2—crafted with precision by bartenders from top DC cocktail bars. Beer and wine are also offered, and snacks include Lays chips, olives, Lunchables or cookies for just a few dollars. The vibe is relaxed but exclusive—no reservations, no entry fee, no dress code, no song requests. Music is strictly old‑school hip‑hop from the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s. Flash photography is discouraged to preserve the moody atmosphere; guests are encouraged to let their eyes adjust to the low lighting. Open‑since 2018, The Mirror feels both nostalgic and modern—like discovering a secret refuge just steps from the Capitol. It’s perfect for adventurous cocktail lovers seeking a memorable night without pretense. Feel free to grab a $2 bag of chips, grab a stiff cocktail, and soak in an experience that’s as much about discovery as it is about drink.
