Some of D.C.'s best rooftop bars

Lauriol Plaza

There is something to be said for drinking margaritas in the open air. And Lauriol Plaza has got you covered. If you’re hoping for a seat at the bar or at one of the tables in the rooftop area, your best bet is to get there early – very early. Because to put it mildly, the rooftop bar at Lauriol Plaza fills up faster than fast. Sure it’s a large, long rooftop that seemingly goes on forever with a sea of tables, but the adoring public is not to be underestimated. Can you blame them? After all, we’re talking superb margaritas coupled with delicious Mexican food!
