About Quill
Quill in Washington, D.C. has a price point of $60 per person, daily hours from 11:30 AM to 12 AM, a smart-casual dress code. Those are the concrete planning details available here, they are the details this guide relies on when positioning the venue. Beyond those planning details, this guide does not verify a specific cuisine, menu format, drinks focus, service style, hotel affiliation, neighborhood, or street address. That means Quill is best understood, from the information provided, as a Washington, D.C. option whose appeal begins with practical fit: budget, timing, the level of dress expected.
Use Quill when those basics fit your plans: a Washington, D.C. venue with late daily hours and a dress code that calls for a polished but not formal approach. The broad daily schedule can make it easier to consider for different parts of the day, while the $60 per person figure gives you a starting point for comparison. If you need details such as a specific menu, seating setup, or special service offering, confirm directly before making plans.
A Washington, D.C. venue with late daily hours
The clearest planning advantage is the schedule. Quill is listed as open from 11:30 AM to 12 AM every day of the week, which gives it a wide window for visits in Washington, D.C. That span covers midday, afternoon, evening, late-night planning in a single daily schedule, making timing the most useful detail for anyone comparing options. Because the hours are the same every day as listed here, the venue is straightforward to consider across the week without having to distinguish between weekday and weekend availability in this guide.
The price is $60 per person. Treat that as the baseline planning figure when comparing Quill with other Washington, D.C. options, while remembering that this guide does not verify specific menu items, beverages, or add-ons. In practical terms, the figure is useful as a starting point rather than a complete picture of what any individual visit might include. It helps set expectations before you decide whether Quill belongs on a shortlist, but it should not be read as a substitute for current details from the venue itself.
Go prepared for smart casual
Dress code is smart casual. That makes Quill a place to approach with a neat, put-together look rather than overly casual attire, though this guide does not verify any more detailed dress requirements. For many plans, smart casual sits in a middle lane: more considered than beachwear, gym clothes, or anything too relaxed, but not necessarily the same as formal or black-tie dress. Because no further requirements are here, the safest interpretation is to choose clothing that feels polished, comfortable, appropriate for a Washington, D.C. outing.

Bar context
How Quill compares in Washington, D.C.
Quill is the safer choice when booking ease and a calmer evening matter. The Jefferson, Washington, DC is the closest cross-shop for a similarly polished hotel-bar mood, while St. Regis Bar is the better fit if the point of the night is a more formal luxury setting. Choose Quill when the value is in ease and conversation rather than a grander room.
Fireclay Bar and Lounge is a better alternate when the group wants a more casual lounge decision and less ceremony. The Sheppard should be the cross-shop for drink-focused guests who want the bar itself to be the event, not just a comfortable stop before or after dinner.
Off the Record is the stronger pick for a classic D.C. power-bar feel. Quill is more useful for a quieter, lower-friction evening; Off the Record is the call when the room's political-adjacent atmosphere is part of the reason to go.
