D.C.’s in Southwest and in Northeast are among America’s best places to enjoy a drink, according to Esquire magazine.

Serenata’s drinks “can have a pantry’s worth of ingredients,” resulting in cocktails that are “incredibly complex and stunningly presented,” .

Serenata Managing Partner Andra “AJ” Johnson told 鶹 that “the past 16 months have been a continuous balancing act of trying to remain relevant and finding creative ways to keep our guests engaged and excited.”

In an email, Johnson said Serenata “opened 6 months before the pandemic hit. We were really just getting the ball rolling — but never got to see the bar function at its full potential.”

With the shoutout from Esquire, that could soon change.
