Some of D.C.'s best rooftop bars

Local 16

The rooftop area of one of U Street’s most popular joints is divided into two distinct areas for eating and drinking. Upon entering you will be separated from the feelings of living in a city, as Local 16 has surrounded its deck with lots of greenery and lamps, which provides you with a mini-hideaway. Keep in mind that this rooftop locale gets pretty crowded pretty quickly, packed with people wanting to enjoy a little nightlife and a cocktail.
