Washington DC bar consulting. Be ready when the whole room orders.

Unfiltered Hospitality provides beverage consulting for restaurants, hotels, and bars in Washington, DC. We are based in Miami and fly in to work with your team on site, building cocktail menus, service systems, and staff training.

The private party starts while the dining room is still ordering.

Our Washington DC bar consulting covers cocktail menus, recipe costing, prep, and staff training. The event is on the calendar. Everybody knows how many guests are coming. Then the first round hits and the bar starts borrowing glassware from the dining room. We help you plan the drinks, prep quantities, and station setup for the service you've booked. The team practices the builds before guests arrive. We fly in for tastings and training, then work with managers between visits.

Washington DC restaurant and hotel bar programs

For dinner service, private events, and the people handling both.

We help Washington restaurants, hotels, independent bars, and hospitality groups build beverage programs for their rooms and service schedules. If your bar handles private events alongside regular service, both need a prep plan and a team that knows the menu. If you're opening a neighborhood spot, we work through the first drink list, ordering, and training with you. The work happens on site with your staff.

What we do

Menus, systems, and training.

Three pieces of the Better Beverage Program, built for your concept and put in place on your floor. Quarterly support after launch keeps the standard.

Menus designed to fit your brand, guests, and goals. Every drink costed and tested for speed before it goes on the menu.How it works

Proof

Miami is home. See our national work.

We own and run The Sylvester in Miami, with our office in Hialeah, Florida. Our results page lists national client projects and the services delivered. Those projects show our broader work; we do not currently list a Washington DC project there. We travel from Miami for work on site with Washington teams and support managers between visits.
