Chicken + Whiskey

Chicken + Whiskey is a Peruvian rotisserie chicken restaurant and whiskey bar located at 1738 14th St NW in Washington, D.C. It presents itself as "D.C.'s Best Peruvian Chicken + Whiskey Bar," combining pollo a la brasa (Peruvian charcoal-roasted chicken) with a full bar offering more than 85 whiskies. The kitchen is led by Chef Enrique Limardo, the chef behind Washington, D.C.'s Michelin-starred restaurant Imperfecto, who brings a Latin American street-food approach to the menu. The food program centers on Peruvian chicken that is brined for 12 hours and then slow-roasted over natural wood charcoal at roughly 1000°F, producing a smoky char and juicy interior. Alongside the chicken, the restaurant serves housemade sides, salads, sauces and dips, sandwiches and wraps, and a rotating menu of seasonal "Chef Especiales." The bar side of the concept offers rare whiskeys, handcrafted seasonal cocktails, and a range of international and local whiskey labels served neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. The single 14th Street location operates with separate kitchen and bar hours, including late-night service on Fridays and Saturdays, and a happy hour schedule. Orders can be placed online for pickup, and the restaurant markets itself as good, fast, and cheap casual street food with a whiskey bar attached "just for fun." The brand is a local, privately held Washington, D.C. restaurant concept rather than a national chain.

Chicken + Whiskey is a Washington, D.C. restaurant concept built around Peruvian rotisserie chicken and a whiskey bar, located at 1738 14th St NW in the city's 14th Street corridor. Public records such as Wikidata describe it simply as a "Peruvian rotisseri chicken joint that serves food in the Washington, DC area," and the restaurant's own materials position it as "D.C.'s Best Peruvian Chicken + Whiskey Bar." The concept pairs two ideas: a fast-casual Peruvian chicken kitchen serving pollo a la brasa and Latin American street food, and a full whiskey bar with more than 85 whiskies plus seasonal cocktails. The kitchen's signature method is to brine the chicken for 12 hours and then slow-roast it over natural wood charcoal at about 1000°F, aiming for smoky char and juicy meat. The menu extends beyond chicken to housemade sides, salads, sauces and dips, sandwiches and wraps, and a rotating list of seasonal Chef Especiales. A defining feature of the brand is its association with Chef Enrique Limardo, the chef behind Washington, D.C.'s Michelin-starred restaurant Imperfecto. Limardo's involvement gives the casual chicken joint a chef-driven identity, with the restaurant describing his contribution as bringing "the heat" and a signature flair to flame-kissed Peruvian rotisserie chicken and related dishes. The restaurant operates from a single 14th Street location with distinct kitchen and bar hours, including late-night kitchen service until 3AM on Fridays and Saturdays and a happy hour program. It accepts online orders and presents itself as good, fast and cheap food "for the people," with the whiskey bar added "just for fun." As of the available evidence, the brand remains an active, locally focused Washington, D.C. restaurant rather than a multi-unit chain, and no founding year, ownership structure, or parent company is disclosed in the supplied sources.
