Hawk ‘n’ Dove

329 Pennsylvania Ave., Southeast Washington, DC 20003

Hawk ‘n’ Dove was the venerable meeting place where both sides of our brain got together, politically. Since 1967, the arguments ebbed & flowed, and eventually everyone just moved on to drinking and laughing together.

Cocktail Week Pairing

Hawk n’ Dove is offering our Red Tailed Hawk made with Don Q Spiced, lime juice, sugar reduction, and a Cabernet Sauvignon float. The Red Tailed Hawk honors our name while you enjoy a playful combination of fall colors and spiced fruit notes. Paired with house-made Turkey Chili braised with white beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, and aged cheddar cheese. $10 for the single drink / $20 with Turkey Chili pairing every day during DC Cocktail week!
