McClellan's Retreat

McClellan's Retreat Craft Cocktails in Dupont Circle
Now: Travelogue For New Arrivals
(228)

Welcome to McClellan's Retreat, a place to retire, retreat, a place to saddle up to the bar and enjoy a lovingly made cocktail, a strong drink, a savory snack and a bit of conversation. If you squint just right, you will notice that you stand in the shadows of McClellan's statue directly up the block. Former members of his army commissioned the statue, mostly in gratitude for not pressing them int

o battle and not getting them shot. So raise your mug to the man and say, "Salute!"

We know that Seltzers and RTDs are all the rage, so this one answers that question for those of you looking for that. Coconut Oil Densed Woodford Reserve, Heirloom Pineapple Amaro, Lime, and Pineapple Ginger Beer come together for that fizzy, tall number you've always wanted out of a can but just didn't know.
