Press the buzzer at an unmarked door on 17th Street and wait. Inside: velvet, low light, a curtained booth if you are lucky, and a bell you ring when you want another drink rather than a server hovering.
It is named after a law that let hotels serve liquor on Sundays, which tells you how much thought has gone into the whole thing.
What to know
Buzz and wait. Small parties only, and no standing.
