Where to Go When You Just Want Drinks & Dessert
Because there are few better combinations than a cocktail and a sweet.
Tonic At Quigley's
Hit Happy Hour at Tonic At Quigley’s in Foggy Bottom where you can snag frosé and rail cocktails for $6.
Yellow
Yellow is a Palestinian Cafe in Georgetown that specializes in light bites, specialty coffees, and wine by the glass.
Takoda
Right off U Street, Takoda has a nice (but small) rooftop and some good bar food options. We like it for a day drinking session or even a casual date.
Martin’s Tavern
Martin's is one of the oldest restaurants in Georgetown. And while the American/pub food is fine, you're really here for the history lesson.
El Rey
It gets crowded on the weekends, but El Rey is a reliable spot for after work drinks and Mexican food around U Street.
Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar
Yes, Cuba Libre is cheesy. But it’s also fun. Take a date or a group to the Metro Center spot for something different than your basic Italian go-to's.
Roofers Union
Despite being in the middle of Adams Morgan craziness, Roofers Union is a great restaurant/bar/rooftop for a casual drink or dinner.
Bluejacket Brewery
Don’t just hit Bluejacket before a Nats game - the Navy Yard brewery is a great spot for a group hang and even a casual date.
Stoney’s On L
Stoney’s in Foggy Bottom has a good patio, a solid happy hour, and plenty of TV’s to watch the game on.
Birch & Barley
When you want a good beer but don't want to sacrifice good food, head to Bitch & Barley in Logan Circle. It's the best of both worlds.
Iron Gate
Iron Gate in Dupont is known for its prix-fixe dinner, but we like it best for drinks and a light bite.
