"DC isn’t Miami, but going to Royal Sands is like taking a quick South Beach vacation. The whole space looks like a beach club, including a tiled “pool” bar and indoor umbrella tables. On weekends, a DJ spins from the lifeguard booth as you and your friends go all-in on tap cocktails and sushi rolls. Things move a bit slower at the upstairs bar, where a dusky Miami sun never sets, and friends laugh over drinks around a cabana-style bar." - anne cruz
"DC isn’t Miami, but at Royal Sands, you can get a bit of that South Beach swag. Stop by the pool bar when you first come in to check out the premade cocktails and some pretty good sushi rolls. On weekends, expect the pool—and nearby umbrella tables—to be full, as a DJ spins from the lifeguard booth. Things move a bit slower at the upstairs bar, where a dusky Miami sun never sets, and friends laugh over drinks around a cabana-style bar." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"For those who would rather be swimming in South Florida, the winner of Eater DC’s 2023 Design of the Year is the place for you. Staying on brand, its bathrooms mimic pool club changing rooms with rainbow-painted shuttered doors and shades of blue tiles splashed on the floor and across the walls." - Abi Newhouse
"This new debate watch party favorite will be serving $6 Kona drafts, $10 frozen drinks, $6.50 themed shots, like the Swing State Slammer and Poll Party. If you’re an anxious snacker, there will also be a $10.50 slider trio deal and $2 off any sushi rolls. Results will be coming in on all the TVs, will full audio on." - Kalina Newman
