    When we passed by DC over a year ago we spent an evening at barmini, the bar they briefly mentioned in the video. We really recommend it. The cocktails are excellent, with a similar level of creativity and theatrical touch as you see in the video on minibar. And it's cheaper and easier to book!
    It's very interesting how some of the elements of elBulli's philosophy has been imported and changed to adapt to the American contemporary scene.
