Downtown D.C. welcomes a dreamy new rooftop bar that boasts one of the largest agave menus in the city. The Moxy hotel’s long-awaited rooftop oasis Lucha Rosa is open! Late-night bar service goes until 2 a.m. on weekends, which is a rare feature for its 9-to-5 neighborhood. The Mexican-style cantina marks the second D.C. venue from Baltimore’s Atlas Restaurant Group, which debuted all-day seafood spot Parlour Victoria next door in February. To get to Lucha Rosa, take Moxy’s lobby elevator to the 13th floor to encounter a restaurant adorned in magenta flowers meant to mimic Southern Mexico’s colorful landscape. Lucha Rosa literally translates to “pink struggle” and nods to Mexico’s wrestling culture.
"Lucha Rosa has everything you need to unwind on a Friday evening. A DJ pumps a mix of reggaeton and R&B at the Moxy Hotel rooftop bar as a crowd of 20 and 30-somethings lounge on bubblegum pink velvet couches tossing back drinks so smooth, they couldn’t possibly be strong (they are). Which is why you may find yourself feeling a little twirly after three glasses of something called a Bed of Roses, a cocktail made with lots of tequila and rosé." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton

"Head to Lucha Rosa for a Barbie fix to sip on the Bed of Roses cocktail. Tequila, Campari, grapefruit, rose, and pink peppercorn combine in the rooftop space adorned in magenta flowers." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Lucha Rosa, located at the Moxy hotel in downtown D.C., is a Mexican-style cantina with a vibrant, Oaxaca-style design adorned with magenta flowers. It offers a transportive experience featuring one of the largest agave menus in the city, with 130 curated bottles including Mezcal, Raicilla, Bacanora, and Sotol. The bar service extends until 2 a.m. on weekends, rare for its neighborhood. The cocktail program features playful, fruit, flower, and spice-infused drinks. The food menu offers traditional Mexican dishes, including ceviche and a variety of tacos." - Tim Ebner
"Set to debut in March, Lucha Rosa will be an Oaxacan-style cocktail bar and outdoor restaurant located on the rooftop of the Moxy hotel. It will serve Mexican tacos along with an extensive list of tequilas and mezcals. The venue will offer scenic views of the U.S. Capitol, adding to the layered experience for visitors." - Tim Ebner
