An Air of Excitement

This landmark Sign of the Whale in Dupont Circle has been around for decades, offering two floors of beautiful design, including the Crowsnest Cocktail Lounge, bar, and private dining booths, all under a subtle ambiance. Once a college bar, it has become a sophisticated gathering place where new DC residents, as well as past and current students, can enjoy a touch of nostalgia with craft cocktails, draft beers, and bites while watching a game, winding down, or turning up. This place is the perfect social oasis in Dupont Circle.
