Desert-themed rooftop bar with live music, line dancing, and tacos
"I like going to Desert 5 Spot when I want to dance; it’s a country bar with live bands and cover singers (a lot of country but also early-2000s throwbacks), and there’s a huge disco ball shaped like a cowboy boot above the dance floor." - Lale Arikoglu
"A country‑Western, neon‑glitter bar concept from Los Angeles is slated to open in D.C. in early fall in a two‑story industrial space. Inspired by Pioneertown, throwback roadside motels and cosmic Americana, the concept launched in Hollywood in 2021 and expanded to Williamsburg with features like a custom mechanical bull, frozen margaritas and LA‑approved tacos. The bi‑coastal hospitality group behind the project positions it as a lively, nostalgic nightspot intended to bring line‑dancing and Western vibes back to the neighborhood." - Tierney Plumb
"Self-described as "a little bit country, a little bit rock-and-roll," Desert 5 is a Pioneertown-inspired rooftop bar in Hollywood that is committed to the bit. There are glowing neon signs, cocktail glasses shaped like cacti and boots, and a stage where some band you've never heard of plays their heart and soul out while rocking cowboy hats. It gets crowded here on weeknights, so probably come then. Weekends are packed, packed, packed." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Coming to Williamsburg at 94 Wythe Avenue, Desert 5 Spot is a Western-inspired bar (with an existing Los Angeles location) designed for people who love a theme: expect a mechanical bull, cowhide rugs, saloon-style doors, and suede wallpaper, with live music and line dancing completing the vibe; the bar opens later this month." - Luke Fortney
"Inspired by Pioneertown, Desert 5 Spot adds to Hollywood’s Vinyl District where the laid-back lounge offers colorful drinks like the ring of fire with Bruxo mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde liqueur, prickly pear, lemon, ginger, and honey." - Eater Staff
