Washington, DC
dine-in

"Co-Owners of Chaplin’s and Wilder Brother’s, Ari and Micah Wilder, created a playful and progressive beverage program which compliments Chef Myo’s cuisine. Every time you walk through the doors at Chaplin’s, expect to be transported to an era that shaped a culture based on entertainment and fancy!" - Chaplin
