A snow day is the perfect excuse to find a warm bar, grab a stool, and stay there until the roads clear.
Hunker Down in Style During the Storm
When the flakes start falling in DC, the best move is to head straight for Whitlow’s. With the city shutting down, you need a reliable spot with great energy to ride out the blizzard! Both the U Street and The Wharf locations are open and ready to serve you during this winter weather event.
Sip on Specialty Cocktails to Ward Off the Chill
You can warm your belly with their incredible drink specials available specifically for Sunday’s Snow Day. The Frostbite Fighter is a delicious concoction featuring Rumpleminze and Irish cream mixed with hot cocoa and topped with amaretto whipped cream for only nine dollars.

These unbeatable prices on hot cocoa drinks and spirits ensure you can stay hydrated and happy while the temperature drops outside!
