The Willard InterContinental Washington DC will be celebrating its 200th
anniversary in 2018 and to commemorate this milestone the historic
hotel will be offering monthly History Happy Hours. Led by the legendary
30-year bartender at The Willard’s iconic Round Bar, the interactive
events will be held on the third Thursday of each month and will feature
American history as well as hands-on lessons on the art of cocktail
making. Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, two blocks from the
White House, the Willard InterContinental has hosted almost every US
president since Franklin Pierce in 1853 and was the site where statesman
Henry Clay introduced the Mint Julep outside Kentucky. The bourbon-
based cocktail is now the Round Bar’s signature drink. A gracious stay, The
Willard features 335 elegantly appointed guest rooms with a unique mix
of contemporary luxury and historic charm.
