"We love this North Capitol Hill spot for spectating televised sports because it never gets too rowdy, and yet The Roanoke still has the usual suspects: TVs, general comradery, and supermarket tortilla chips covered in bland cheddar shreds. Cocktails are equal parts stiff and refreshing, and there’s a great secret backyard patio for warm weather. But whatever you do, don’t miss the Julio Rodríguez burger—a drippy mound of charred beef topped with american cheese and special sauce. The thing’s exactly what you want while putting your happiness in the hands of several athletic men you don’t know." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
