Hidden in Plain Sight: A Night at Denson Liquor Bar
I don’t know about you, but I’ve officially outgrown the DC club scene. These days, I’m all about cocktail lounges… dimly lit, grown, and sexy spots where the music isn’t too loud, and the cocktails are thoughtfully crafted.

My best friend and I were simply in the mood for cocktails on a Friday night—nothing too serious. Medina, a Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant, had been on my list for a while.
