Where to Go When You Just Want Drinks & Dessert
Because there are few combinations better than cocktails and sweets.
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.
