A Howling Good Time
Germantown restaurant The Optimist sits Le Loup. This cocktail bar on high feels every bit of a hidden gem. The space is awash in rich colors, with deep green marble splashed throughout. Seating spans the peninsula bar—a work of art in itself—and vignettes that serve French salon vibes. A vintage stone mantel centerpiece sets the mood with warm, comfortable fireside seating. Chic sofas surround antique-style coffee tables for larger parties, while coordinating sets of chairs dot the room for more intimate dates. A custom underwater mural by artist Rebecca
