TAKODA
Located between 17th ST and 9th ST NW, U street is becoming one of the hottest spots for dining and nightlife in DC. With a mix of old and new, this Victorian era development is home to numerous art galleries, bars, music venues, and restaurants. This is exactly why TAKODA decided to open their rooftop restaurant and bar in the heart of this thriving area that is considered one of the “Great Places in America.” The venue is complete with multi-level seating, an upstairs bar, and a patio area that comes fully stocked with craft beer and the finest bourbon selection in town. This unique pairing of a hand tailored experience and service, in a historical, modern setting is the reason why TAKODA continues to be one of the best kept secrets and nightlife experiences of the DC U street bar scene.
