On this episode of Bar Hacks, David Klemt sits down with Kapri Robinson and Princess Johnson of Allegory in Washington, DC, for a conversation that goes far beyond cocktails.
Together, they explore what makes DC's bar scene unique, why it deserves recognition alongside cities like New York, Chicago, and Miami, and how strong hospitality begins with strong teams. From designing thoughtful cocktail programs and creating memorable guest experiences to preventing burnout, elevating non-alcoholic offerings, and the return of happy hour, this episode is packed with practical insight for anyone passionate about hospitality. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, including David somehow swapping both guests' surnames during the introduction even though he was reading his own notes.
Cheers!
