Banned in DC has been officially recognized as a Top 4 Best Cocktail Menu in the World by the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards!

Some projects ask more of you than you expect.

Banned in DC started as a menu, but somewhere along the way it became something much bigger: a story that is a cautionary tale, love letter to DC, and a reflection of the people who built it.

This menu took more than two years to bring to life. It asked a lot from our team, as many of the cocktails took nearly a year of R&D. The team produced some of the best cocktails in the world, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.

The story, art and design demanded care and a deft hand. The scope and scale of the world-building was daunting. Every chapter, every miniature scene, every cocktail, every detail had to be placed perfectly.

Featuring 17 miniature scenes by local artist Katie Miller, designed with Dian Holton, written by Creative Director Deke Dunne, and published by Spotz Studios, Banned in DC became the kind of project we will carry with us for the rest of our careers.

What makes this nomination especially meaningful is that the message behind the menu has only become more relevant and requires event more urgency since we began making it. Banned in DC is about censorship, fear, resistance, and the stories people try to ban. To have that message recognized on this stage means more than we can properly put into words.

Read banned books. Organize locally. Push back against tyranny.

Thank you to Tales of the Cocktail, Food & Wine, and Australian Bitters for giving this project such an extraordinary platform. Thank you to everyone who believed in this menu before it was anything more than a strange, ambitious idea on a page.

Congratulations to our dear friends at Jigger and Pony, Bar Us, and Danico for pushing us to the edge of our creative capabilities.

We are grateful for this nomination, and we are reminded why we made it in the first place.

Princess Johnson, one of Punch’s Best New Bartenders of 2026, created 1962 to showcase her West Indian roots.

The cocktail is built on an Afro-Caribbean rum, with flavors like soursop, found throughout the Caribbean, and ackee, Jamaica’s national fruit.

The name is a nod to the year Trinidad and Tobago gained independence, while the glitter on top channels the colors and energy of Carnival season.

It’s official: our very own Princess Johnson has been named one of the Best New Bartenders in the U.S. by Punch Magazine!

This year, Punch set out to spotlight bartenders who represent the future of the industry, and we couldn’t agree more with their choice. Princess has been a vital part of Allegory for nearly five years, bringing talent, warmth, leadership, and creativity to everything she does.

We’ve known from the beginning just how special she is, and we are beyond thrilled to see her receive the recognition she so deeply deserves.

Come by Allegory and help us celebrate Princess and this incredible achievement!

BACK-2-BACK

Allegory x Room for Improvement x Snappy’s

We’re thrilled to announce that Portland, Maine legends Room for Improvement will be taking over Allegory this Monday from 5 to 8 PM.

And because one good party deserves another, they’ll be heading to Snappy’s later that night for round two from 10 PM until late.

Room for Improvement started as a joke about all-time great dive bar names, and like so many of the best jokes, and best bars, it got a little carried away. Built by friends, for friends, Room for Improvement has always been about creating a place to meet them, make them, and work alongside them.

It’s a neighborhood spot where the cocktails are seriously tasty, but never take themselves too seriously. Named one of Punch’s 5 Best New Bars in America in 2023, recognized by Esquire for one of the Best Martinis in America, and featured on 50 Best’s Discovery list, it’s a halfway decent bar, by their own admission.

Behind the bar will be Avrid, owner of Room for Improvement, alongside bartenders Eric and Haley.

Big thanks to Rémy Martin and Fever-Tree for helping us bring it all together.

See all of your beautiful faces Monday.

Daniel Huitt, one of Allegory’s newest team members, began his hospitality career in Nashville at Barcelona Wine Bar, where he started as a food runner and worked his way through every front-of-house position before transitioning behind the bar.

After moving to D.C. in 2023, he continued developing his style and experience at acclaimed concepts including Petite Cerise, Dauphine’s, Baan Mae, and Albi. Since 2025, he has been part of the team at Allegory, contributing across multiple roles including bar prep, barbacking, serving, and hosting.

His approach to bartending is shaped by a deep understanding of hospitality, with a focus on thoughtful service, adaptability, and creating memorable guest experiences.

Daniel is behind the bar tonight, so come see him in action!

Camping. The campfire would crackle as your parents allowed you to stay up late beside it. Smoke would cling to your hoodie and water your eyes while marshmallows melted on the tree branch you broke off. Somehow, the darkness was scary, but mystical. For those few nights, the whole world was pine trees, stars, and the belief that summer, or winter, could last forever.

Greg Long bottled that feeling in All That She Carried, and we’re bringing it to you in hopes it lands right where your childhood memories live.

All That She Carried // Michter’s Rye, D’Ussé VSOP Cognac, pecan trail mix, tamarind, mushroom marshmallow, peat, Space S’more
