Dining & drinks: nightlife and Latin/South American flavors vs formal American dining

Yours Truly DC – Dining & drinks

Yours Truly’s food scene mixes a South American–inspired restaurant, a bagel deli and active evening programming.

  • Mercy Me: South American-inspired dinner and cocktails, live-music nights, private 12-seat listening room.
  • Call Your Mother: on-site bagel/deli and coffee shop open mornings and midday.
  • Outdoor El Chalet patio and Blossom Garden provide seasonal open-air options.

Signature amenity: social spaces and music vs historic lobby and White House outlook

Yours Truly DC – Signature amenity

Yours Truly centers community spaces—a record shop, bar, terrace and event venues that double as local gathering points.

  • El Donut Shoppe (record store) and music programming woven into public spaces and select suites.
  • Multiple flexible event spaces and outdoor terraces used for private events and public nights.
  • On-site barber shop and table-tennis room expand leisure options beyond dining.

  • 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes, WOD-style programming and standard gym equipment.
  • Regular live-music nights at Mercy Me and social bar hours into late evening.
  • No on-site swimming pool; guests can access nearby spas for treatments.

Choose Yours Truly if fitness options plus late-night live music are priorities.

The Hay-Adams – Wellness & nightlife

The Hay‑Adams lists a 24-hour fitness facility and a quieter, more formal evening atmosphere.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities available per supplier listing.
