TAKODA | DC’s Best Bar in Shaw’s Up & Coming NeighborhoodThe Shaw district is one of the oldest, most historic parts of the city, and traditionally referred to as the “Uptown” region. This Pre-Harlem area of Washington DC is home to many exclusive sights, parks, concert halls, and restaurants. Built in the 1800’s, this section of town is often considered the original birthplace of the Gothic revival architecture and buildings that seem to have swept over the city shortly after it’s conception. This makes the bar and nightlife scene a safe, eclectic and exciting mix of both new and old.
