The biggest shake-up to D.C.'s holiday bar scene occurred in August, when Archipelago, the U Street tiki bar that had played host to the beach-themed Sippin' Santa's Surf Shack pop-up since 2018, closed its doors.
For 11 months of the year, Black Whiskey is a comfortable, lived-in neighborhood bar: exposed brick walls, some painted black; a pool table; beaten-up sofas you sink into. The additions for Sippin' Santa give off a vibe that mixes Christmas and prom.
