Variety of local & global bites, coffee, cocktails & beer
"This culinary clubhouse is home to some amazing vendors including Cameo Coffee, Hi-Fi Taco, and Shelter — a craft beer bar featuring brews from the Navy Yard’s Bluejacket Brewery. It’s also a food hall where you can order from your phone and dishes are delivered directly to your table — making for a seamless, no-wait-in-line experience. At the Roost’s acclaimed sit-down restaurant Caruso’s Grocery, everything from the chicken Parmigiana to the slightly-faded red booths is meant to feel like an old-school red sauce joint." - Tierney Plumb
"Inviting families to get cozy, watch Christmas movies, and try complimentary hot chocolate on December 23 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Breakfast items will be available to purchase from vendors, including French toast, breakfast burritos, and a pancake burger; kids can also participate in arts and crafts. More info is available on the food market’s website." - Emily Venezky

"Head to The Roost this long weekend for a special pop-up from Hi/Fi Tex-Mex BBQ. Chef Nathan Anda will be serving up plates like brisket, chopped pork, and smoked turkey platters with sides like mac and cheese, cheesy grits, and fried plantains. On the beverage side, spirit director Nick Farrell has refreshers made with Wild Turkey bourbon like Hickory Smoked Wild Turkey Old Fashioneds, flights, and bottled cocktails to-go." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Every Sunday night I go to Show of Hands inside the Roost for a Taylor Swift–themed party where Capitol Hill’s cocktail bar celebrates the pop star with cocktails, wines, beers, and spirits riffing on her lyrics and track titles—think the “Wine Stained Dress” (gin, Gentian, lemon, red wine float) and “Red Flushed Gold Rush” (bourbon, red bitter, honey, lemon)—and a dedicated space behind the bar to dance to Swift songs." - Tierney Plumb
