Heist
Washington, DC
As the name suggests, this subterranean Dupont Circle drinkery is themed after bank robberies and diamond thieves. But don't worry — you shouldn't have any troubles with the actual crowd at Heist. With an upscale menu that includes bottle service of the finest champagnes and cocktails created by a former Mondrian NYC mixologist, the drinks here are definitely not for the common criminal, and with a decor that includes shimmering gold, brass, crystals, and mirrors nearly everywhere you look — including the bullet hole-ridden bar and buffalo skull over the DJ booth — it sets the perfect mood for slightly dangerous-yet-legal fun.
