Proper Bar sits at 300 K Street NW in Mount Vernon Triangle, built around New American cooking and a signature cocktail program in a room styled for dressing up — the dress code rules out athleisure and work boots, and asks guests to dress for the occasion.
A private room anchored by a champagne bar handles events for up to 50 guests, with a dedicated team for private parties. On weekends, the room turns into more of a scene, with local pianists, jazz bands, and DJs providing live entertainment.
