Where Evenings Be-Gin,
at The Hay-Adams
A refined rooftop escape where fresh and floral-inspired gin cocktails are perfectly paired with summer evenings
We invite you to “Where Evenings Be-Gin," an elegant pop-up offered at our iconic Top of the Hay on select dates throughout August. Set against sweeping views of the White House, the Washington Monument, and the National Mall, this golden-hour ritual celebrates the art of the gin and tonic through a menu of imaginative, botanically driven cocktails. Each expression highlights the nuance of gin—from floral and fruit-forward to herbaceous and refreshing—paired with thoughtful garnishes and premium tonics. A non-alcoholic option is also on offer. Surrounded by soft evening light, you are invited to linger, sip, and savor a refined interpretation of a truly timeless aperitif.
