Paper Fan Cocktail Bar

Usually, time spent at Biang Biang Noodles on Capitol Hill involves being facedown in a giant bowl of their mala-spiced beef dry mix—but take a moment and look up. Hidden behind red velvet curtains is an intimate loft space decorated with ornate lamps and delicate paper fans. While some of the bar's tea-infused cocktails are a bit medicinal tasting, the Lychee Blossom with green tea, gin, and lemon is light and refreshing. This place is also a fun non-dive bar option in the neighborhood for a first date. We’d just suggest making reservations—it gets busy quickly.
