Can someone give me some recommendations for a really intimate and 'vibey' bar in Georgetown? Not too far from Clyde's as we'll be walking.

Not sure what you mean by "vibey." Any hotel bar will be intimate. Try the Four Seasons or the Ritz Carlton.

For my $$; Martin's is a classic (easy walk from Clyde's) for cocktails, and has history,

The Sovereign is good for a wide variety of Belgian beers (also decent cocktails)

I had a nice time for a drink at the rooftop of The Graham

Also, this place is very nice, dark, and a short walk down M Street.

Blue Duck has an excellent menu and good cocktails. One of my wife and my favorite restaurants, especially this time of year for the outdoor seating.

Martins is where you take your mates

Well, I certainly don’t want a mates bar.
Seeing my girlfriend next week as she lives nearby and want to make it special.

I’ll take a look through the suggestions, cheers all.

If you want a vibey bar take her to Bourbon Steak or Fiola Mare. Ritz Carlton is pretty low key.

That’s no where near DC.

L'Annexe is a cocktail bar closer to the Four Season's Hotel. It could be "vibey" in the back room away from the bar. L'Avant Garde is owned by the same people - very expensive, definitely has a mood to it but it's more of a restaurant. Donahue is a cocktail bar on Wisconsin Ave (one block north of Martin's). That is definitely "vibey". Depending on the day of the week you go it's more of a date spot then later becomes a bit of a sceney bar.

A couple of more options for vibey/intimate cocktails bar in Georgetown:

Apero - Champagne & Cocktails
aperodc.com

Fountain Inn - Whiskey-centric but great cocktail program
fountaininndc.com

Bottles Wine Garden - Other side of the M St. bridge, nice little wine bar, great patio if the weather is cooperating
bottleswinegarden.com

 

[Joffrey]

Good call re Apero and Fountain Inn.

I just want to take a moment and tip my hat to all of you that commute into DC for work. I commuted to Chantilly from Silver Spring and back every day this week and it was a super bummer.

You poor souls that do it on the reg.
