Bartlet Residence Bar (Bartlet Mansion — private bar)

A tucked social alcove inside the Bartlet family mansion where polished counters and low lighting invite informal refuge amid a formal fundraiser. Crystal and champagne flutes glint under chandelier wash; servers thread between clusters of guests and staff, and the air carries perfume, spilled wine, and nervous laughter. Staff slip here to decompress or to drown small embarrassments—Toby plans to retreat to this exact bar to drink—making the space both a convivial stopgap and a pressure valve for private impulses that risk public exposure during high‑profile events.
