"Packed with dangling flowers, neon-lit palm trees, and a tequila bottle-lined DJ booth, this (retractable) rooftop hangout in Shaw feels like a mini vacation. Friendly bartenders efficiently send out spicy mezcal margaritas, Tecate cans, and shots, with Mexican fare from its Rito Loco kitchen downstairs. Taco Tuesday calls for a trifecta of tacos and margarita or beer for $25. Reserve via Resy." - Tierney Plumb
"The Deal: $55 on Saturdays and $49 on Sundays for one brunch entree and bottomless mimosas, Blood Marys, margaritas, frozen drinks, or Tecate El Techo’s rooftop situation is exactly where you want to be on a weekend afternoon when your bottomless booze bender in Shaw needs a little something extra. The Latin-inspired restaurant does that in two ways: by transporting you to an indoor rainforest (think Rainforest Cafe, except less tacky) and offering bottomless margaritas, frozen cocktails, Tecates, mimosas, and Bloody Marys. Make no mistake—you’re coming here to drink (and you can try as many different drinks as you want). The food is kind of bland and boring, but your entree will at least help soak up the alcohol." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"A raucous party on November 24 will feature Blossom Beverages, a D.C.-based canned cocktail company, giving a sneak peek of a new fall-flavored cocktail and shaking up espresso martini margaritas; the event runs Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and will include live stick-and-poke tattoos, DJs playing tunes, and the venue's Mexican fare being served. RSVP details were provided for the event." - Emily Venezky
"An early mezcalería that opened in 2015 and helped expand mezcal availability and education in the city." - Clara Wang
"The U Street mainstay is hosting an all-day bottomless brunch from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m. The $49 price includes an entree and endless margaritas, bloody marys, mimosas, frozens, and Tecates." - Vinciane Ngomsi
