Conservatory

The 11 Best Rooftop Bars in Washington, D.C. for Summer Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"In a building that was once a tomato packing warehouse, Gravitas is a Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant from chef-owner Matt Baker, and upstairs is his rooftop bar Conservatory looking out over Ivy City. The creative cocktail list is gin- and absinthe-focused, with options that tend toward the fresh or the smoky. On the food side, you can go a la carte (as opposed to the tasting menu downstairs) but the food is still quite fancy: think caviar service, escargot toast with whipped brie, Wagyu beef tartare, and crispy confit duck leg. Even fried chicken gets a black truffle honey glaze." - Adele Chapin
