When the repeal of Prohibition occurred on December 5, 1993, it was a cause for champagne-soaked celebrations. Except in Washington D.C. where the residents had to wait until the repeal of the Sheppard Act. Which would not come for another 85 days. Which is the history behind this speakeasy- Dry 85.
Dry 85 is a nod to the Prohibition era. A 21st-century embrace of the outlaw culture created by Prohibition.
Make sure to check out the incredible menu.
Start off with an amazing appetizer like wings, seafood mac ‘n cheese, and fried pickles. Then get yourself a main course meal. Like the Dry 85 Burger, 1/2 Pound of Ground Chuck, Pulled Pork, Thick Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, and Cole Slaw with House-made Bourbon Barbecue Sauce. Or a fried chicken sandwich, grilled salmon, chicken and waffles, and so much more!
Then make sure to fully explore the extensive drink menu! With tons of craft beers, cocktails, and wines. As well as bourbon, whiskey, rye, scotch, and anything else you could think of!
Dry 85 is open Mondays- Thursdays from 11 am – midnight. Fridays and Saturdays from 11 am – 2 am. And Sundays from 10 am – midnight.
