"DC isn’t Miami, but going to Royal Sands is like taking a quick South Beach vacation. The whole space looks like a beach club, including a tiled “pool” bar and indoor umbrella tables. On weekends, a DJ spins from the lifeguard booth as you and your friends go all-in on tap cocktails and sushi rolls. Things move a bit slower at the upstairs bar, where a dusky Miami sun never sets, and friends laugh over drinks around a cabana-style bar." - anne cruz
