Whiskey Charlie

On weekdays, Whiskey Charlie feels like feral ground for congressional interns and recent grads entering the workforce. The snug rooftop overlooking the Wharf is located on the penthouse floor of the Canopy Hotel. Be prepared to stand around avoiding eye contact and rubbing shoulders with the strangers as you wait for your $20 cocktail. If you're balling on a budget (interns whose parents cover their rent don’t count), you'll want to stick with beers and seltzers, which are $7 and $6 respectively.
