"Situated in the heart of Dupont, the Ven at Embassy Row hotel’s 9th-floor rooftop bar is in full swing this summer with slushy poolside drinks like a margarita and bright berry cocktail made with Jennifer Lopez’s Delola Spritz. During happy hour (Monday to Thursday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.), frozen margs are just $5 each." - Vinciane Ngomsi
