A Guide to the Best Rooftop Bars on U StreetThere are only a handful of DC rooftop bars located in the Shaw neighborhood, and not all are created equal. Sure, there are a few that boast hand crafted cocktails, and an ample beer selection. But which establishment has the complete package? Superior atmosphere, drink, and food selection? We asked our patrons what makes for one of the best elevated bars in the NW region, and the responses & criteria are surprising.

A Beer Garden is Nothing Without the Proper Pairings |
Sure, a great ambiance and relaxing atmosphere will surely yield kudos, yet for many the experience had little to do with the actual setting itself and more with the happy hour ambiance. Have you ever been to an after-work mixer and found that the drink selections were really great, but the appetizers and sliders were missing something? Or, alternatively, maybe you had delicious appetizers but really felt boxed in with the choice in drinks. Or, perhaps the drink selections were too heavy given the rich food pairing. TAKODA has aimed to change this standard permanently, and set the bar abnormally high when it comes to designing a tandem menu that compliments appetizers and entrees with refreshing beverages. TAKODA’s priority is ensuring its guests are always happy: in terms of both taste and value.

Craft Brews Only One Important Factor |
Just about every bar-goer in DC in has heard of craft brews, and they are becoming increasingly more popular as the district ramps up production & claims their own spot on the map of serious brewery hubs. The great thing is, guests don’t have to be a cicerone to appreciate the simplicity and sophistication of this restaurant’s hand crafted beer menu. If hops don’t do it for you, make a point to check out TAKODA’s incredible single-barrel whiskey collection, with some of the rarest, most respected bourbon bottles in the city. Choose from our artisan selection, or keep it simple with a neat glass & a light fare. Our patio is open year round, with an enclosed portion for the winter.
