Some of D.C.'s best rooftop bars

Cleveland Park Bar & Grill

This haunt embodies everything you could want in a neighborhood watering hole. The fact that they have a roof deck only adds to their greatness. With half the deck covered and the other half in the open sun, the setting is ideal for both sun worshipers and shade dwellers alike. And all of it provides not only spectacular views of a bustling Connecticut Avenue, but also ice cold beers, cocktails and a full menu of eats from fried finger foods to meat and cheese plates to pizzas and sandwiches.
