Iron Gate's fifth anniversary party
Did you know the fifth anniversary is traditionally celebrated with an exchange of gifts made of wood? Well, Iron Gate is celebrating its five years of existence with food and drink, instead. Staff present and past — including former Iron Gate chefs, sommeliers and bartenders who've moved on to such D.C. innovators as Rose's Luxury and Minibar — are teaming up to offer new dishes and cocktails. Your advanced purchase gets you six $5 tickets for the price of five — tickets you'll spend at stations throughout the restaurant.
When: Tuesday, December 11, 6:30-9 p.m.
Where: Iron Gate Restaurant, 1734 N St. NW
Price: $25
