Allegory

Allegory is also available for private events: special event, happy hour, and cocktail reception reservations. Our space is perfect to make your gathering a memorable experience. We welcome your request and will be happy to quote your event planning inquiry. Food and Beverage minimums are required to keep event space private and are based on time frame, day of event, and season. We look forward to hearing from you. A one-of-a-kind work of art by Erik Thor Sandberg spans the bar. It depicts Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, but the deeper, underlying meaning is that the classic tale is told through the eyes of Ruby Bridges—the first Black child to desegregate the William Frantz Elementary School in Louisiana in 1960. Equally imaginative cocktails by Creative Director Deke Dunne, who helms the bar, and the new bar team of D.C. all-stars, include creative takes on classics while using advanced culinary and molecular techniques, like spherification, clarification and forced carbonation.
