"The team behind Shaw beer garden Takoda is branching out in the neighborhood, opening a 2,400-square-foot bar on Friday, March 16 that’s meant to transport patrons to Baja California — complete with tons of turquoise, plants, a rooftop tequila bar, and a West Coast-based muralist’s first work in D.C. The new two-story drinking destination that previously housed dimly-lit neighborhood restaurant 1905 has been completely redone via whitewashed brick walls, lots of colorful coastal-inspired accents, and funky lighting fixtures. It’s named after the Sea of Cortez along the eastern coast of the Mexican peninsula." - Tierney Plumb
