Cocktail bar · Downtown
Downtown D.C. welcomes a dreamy new rooftop bar that boasts one of the largest agave menus in the city. The Moxy hotel’s long-awaited rooftop oasis Lucha Rosa is open! Late-night bar service goes until 2 a.m. on weekends, which is a rare feature for its 9-to-5 neighborhood. The Mexican-style cantina marks the second D.C. venue from Baltimore’s Atlas Restaurant Group, which debuted all-day seafood spot Parlour Victoria next door in February. To get to Lucha Rosa, take Moxy’s lobby elevator to the 13th floor to encounter a restaurant adorned in magenta flowers meant to mimic Southern Mexico’s colorful landscape. Lucha Rosa literally translates to “pink struggle” and nods to Mexico’s wrestling culture.
