About this venue

Editor's Take: Named after the historic 1783 tavern, The Fountain Inn is a meticulously curated space for those who appreciate the finer side of DC's history and spirit culture. Its collection of rare bourbons and ryes is among the best in the city.

We are a historic tavern re-imagined. We offer an unparalleled selection of rare and historically significant spirits, alongside a masterfully crafted cocktail menu in a warm, historic setting.
