"The roof of Union Market sets the stage for this artificial turf-lined bar serving pouched pina coladas, draft cocktails, and all kinds of hot dogs. Hi-Lawn comes from restaurateurs Greg Algie and Nathan Beauchamp (Tiger Fork, Calico) and Paul Carlson (The Royal, Lulu’s Winegarden). They just recently opened up The Dome DC on the rooftop, with seasonal menus and immersive art (or college basketball games) projected overhead on the 360-degree walls of the dome. Book a reservation online." - Tierney Plumb
"Bloomroom at Hi-Lawn is in part a visual show featuring state-of-the-art overhead projection of floral artworks by D.C. artist Chris Pyrate and Australian digital artist Laura Alice, but also part of the seasonal dining and drinking experience. Drinks include fun takes on spritzes and a cherry soda float, plus a small plates that highlight ingredients like english peas and yellow beets." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"GnA, a new wellness line from Gizelle and Ashley, held a morning workout session atop Union Market to benefit National Brain Tumor Society. On-site vendors like Tiger Fork supplied the group with food. The rooftop hangout looks a lot different these days, currently playing host to a wintertime pop-up dome." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The rooftop atop Union Market welcomes The Dome — a spherical, immersive “gastro-gallery under the stars” pop-up inside a 50-foot heated dome — starting Friday, December 13 through the end of February. The inaugural, time-activated ticketed “Snowglow” activation is a European winter-styled pop-up featuring a high-tech overhead projection, artful cocktail presentations, and Alpine fare from chef Nathan Beauchamp. Tickets ($35) on Resy include entry, a secluded dining pod, the 90-minute visual experience, and a welcome liquid amuse." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Hi-Lawn is the summertime hangout spot for adults who want to play outside all day. The Union Market rooftop, which is covered in astroturf, has lawn games like cornhole and wooden picnic tables where you can relax (just reserve a table beforehand if you want an umbrella). They also host trivia nights and live music events. Get juice boxes full of your favorite spirits at the bar, but skip the small bar food menu and grab something from one of the stalls downstairs. And if you bring your own blankets, you can enjoy it in true picnic style." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
