Hogo (a new rum-focused bar from the
Passenger's Tom and Derek Brown) is part of a project called Temporary Works that hopes to bring new late-night dining options to DC by giving talented chefs a platform to cook bar food with their own twists. Hogo is an abbreviated form of the French term
haut goût that describes the "high taste" or funk that comes from rotting meat, but is also used for the untamed funk of rums with lower distillation proofs. Closest Metro is Mt. Vernon Square/7th Street/Convention Center.
