We’ve all got our go-to restaurants and bars, but why not try something new? Here are five hip spots you’re sure to love:

Co Co. Sala
If you’re loco for cocoa, this chocolate lounge and boutique is the place for you. During the day, stop in to the shop for artisanal chocolates, house-made fresh gelato and locally-roasted espresso drinks. By night, Co Co. Sala morphs into an upscale lounge serving small bites, cocktails and fine desserts.

Plume at The Jefferson Hotel
Classic dishes with a contemporary flair are what you’ll find at this delicious new restaurant. The award-winning executive chef Damon Gordon prides himself on creating a seasonal menu inspired by the harvest from Jefferson’s gardens at Monticello.

CommonWealth
Opened in 2009, this Columbia Heights gastropub is the perfect place to kick back, relax and enjoy some good food and drinks. CommonWealth stays true to its British inspiration serving traditional English pub fare, honoring the “Sunday Roast” tradition and playing a selection of music from popular British bands.

Eola
This Dupont Circle eatery is fairly new to the DC restaurant scene, but it’s already receiving rave reviews. Choose from hearty dishes such as Tamworth Pork Jowl and Pan Roasted Hereford Beef on the a-la-carte menu or opt for the seven-course chef’s tasting menu for $75.

Farmers & Fishers
The sister restaurant of the much-loved Founding Farmers, this Georgetown Waterfront eatery is all about sustainable foods and a cozy farmhouse feel. You’ll enjoy a meal that’s both delicious and nutritious. The bar offers fun Tiki-inspired classics as well as traditional cocktail lounge favorites.
