Anyone seeking quiet conversation over well-made drinks will find the Georgetown rooftop a genuine retreat from the chaos below, with views that justify lingering through multiple rounds.
cocktail bar
1200 16th St NW
Settle into the kind of lounge where the architecture itself—soaring atrium, restored skylight—feels like part of the drink. Best for people who want their cocktails with some actual history in the room.
cocktail bar
333 G St NW
People who want to feel like they've escaped the city while still seeing it spread below them should head here—rooftop drinks and wood-fired pizza with the Capitol in sight, the kind of place that works equally well for a date or unwinding with colleagues.
cocktail bar
920 Blagden Aly NW
Peruvian cocktails and bites on a rooftop where the kitchen downstairs has earned serious accolades—good if you want to taste what a James Beard chef does when mixing drinks.
cocktail bar
400 E St SW
People who want to see the city spread out below them while holding a drink—and don't mind that they're in a hotel bar—will find rooftop views here worth the trip. The live entertainment and food help if you're settling in for the evening rather than just stopping by.
cocktail bar
1500 New Hampshire Ave NW
Serious cocktails in a room that actually looks like the 1950s, where you can sit long enough to watch Dupont Circle pass by and the bartenders know what they're doing without performing.
