What a great night at Lafayette Square’s Cocktails in the Plaza! We were excited to be part of such a fun community event and help raise money for the Neighborhood Association.

A huge thank you to Greg, Carly, and everyone who helped make our cocktail service such a success. And thank you to everyone who came out, grabbed a drink, and supported the neighborhood. We love being part of this community. 🍸

Happy Anniversary to us!

Nine years ago, we opened our doors in Lafayette Square.

Since then, Polite Society has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of—thanks to this neighborhood, our guests, and our team (past and present). 😍

We appreciate everyone who’s been part of it.

Cheers to nine years—and what’s next. 🥂
