The Best New Bars Around D.C. Right Now | Eater DC

"Arlo Hotel’s rooftop bar, Art DC, opened in December with Japanese bites, delicious drinks, and panoramic views of the National Mall, U.S. Capitol, and Washington Monument. Chef Pepe Moncayo, who is also running Arrels and its Spanish grab-and-go counterpart downstairs, created a menu of pan-Asian flavors, like oysters with wasabi-olive oil and ponzu, edamame hummus with chile oil, yakitori pork belly and shiitake skewers, and hot or cold soba noodles. For cocktails, try the IAD-HND (a play off the international D.C. and Tokyo airports) made with rice vodka, espresso, and toasted black sesame." - Emily Venezky
