The Room
Reveler's Hour opened in Adams Morgan in 2018 — a serious Italian wine bar dedicated to the proposition that the neighbourhood needed a working natural-wine-and-Italian-small-plates destination. The dining room is intentionally relaxed: a long bar at the front, banquettes along the eastern wall, an open kitchen at the back.
Eater DC has held Reveler's Hour on its top-wine-bar rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The pasta programme is hand-rolled in the kitchen daily. The Italian small-plates programme, the seasonal-rotating Italian secondi, and the cured-meats opening run as the menu's spine.
Wine programme is heavily natural and small-producer Italian. Cocktails are aperitivi-led.

Birthday: Birthdays at Reveler's Hour are warm, wine-led, Italian small-plates affairs the room handles with seven years of practice.
