A scrappy sibling to the legendary dock bar, this spot trades the water view for the same sharp cocktails and staff who actually know what they're doing—perfect for escaping the office without leaving the neighborhood.

If you want to understand what transformed Penn Quarter from empty streets into a neighborhood, sit at the bar and watch the Spanish ham get carved. It's where José Andrés proved DC was ready for something better than chain restaurants, and thirty years later it still feels like the kind of place where eating is actually a celebration.
taco restaurant
645 Wharf St SW
Anyone craving casual, properly charred tacos near the water will find carnitas and carne asada that taste like they know what they're doing, plus a bar scene that actually feels alive.
tapas bar
711 Kennedy St NW
If you want to eat good pizza while someone knowledgeable helps you understand why a particular cider actually matters, this is the place. Best for people who take their fermented things seriously but don't take themselves seriously.
tapas bar
1622 14th St NW
A cramped, loud room where strangers become dinner companions over small plates and glasses of wine that actually taste like something. Good for people who want to eat without ceremony and leave without planning a three-course meal.
