Happy 2nd Anniversary Last Exit!



It's been two years since Last Exit first opened up in Mount Pleasant. To celebrate their 2nd Anniversary and launch of their Spring Menu, Last Exit shut down its doors for a few hours for a private party attended by friends and media members before immediately opening up again to the public that same night. 


A few light hors d'oeuvres were passed, though naturally the stars of the nights were all the drinks.

Each guest was handed a drink as they entered the party. There's no better way of saying hello!


The menu is divided in to Craft Cocktails, Barrel Aged Cocktails, Boat Drinks and Infusions. It was hard to decided what type of drink I wanted most that night, but I ultimately decided on two infused drinks. First I tried The Harrison, made with rosemary and black peppercorn vodka, tonic and green grapes. The drink was unbelievably refreshing, as it was super clean and smooth. 


After watching a few other guests walk around with The Annabel, made with banana infused bourbon, I knew I needed to try one as well. Sadly the banana flavor seemed to disappear after the first few sips, though it was prominent enough in the first few sips that I'd definitely order The Annabel again the next time I'm at Last Exit.



Last Exit, located at 3155 Mt. Pleasant Street, is open Tuesdays through Sundays beginning at 7pm.  To see their full menu, visit http://lastexitdc.com/Menu.
