The Round Robin Bar is a historic establishment within the Willard InterContinental Hotel, serving as a gathering place for Washington's elite since 1847. Often called the "Oval Office of Bars," the venue features a distinctive circular mahogany bar with oak-paneled walls and forest green décor, housing portraits of iconic figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Mark Twain. The bar is renowned for its Mint Julep, a signature drink reportedly introduced to Washington by Senator Henry Clay, reflecting nearly 180 years of political and social significance. Hours are Saturday 1:00 p.m.–midnight and Sunday through Friday 4:00 p.m.–midnight, offering classic cocktails and light bites in an upscale, historically rich setting.
