"The Wharf’s tropical escape overlooking the Potomac is dead set on making sure all of its customers have fun. Bartenders, armed with bubble guns, pump out over-the-top tiki drinks spiked with its Thrasher’s rum and surf-themed swizzler sticks. In between distillery tours and or hanging out on the thatched rooftop bar, it’s always fun to share a pupu platter here alongside tuna poke and spam musubi. The bar also hosts secret tiki takeovers with radio station DC101, with ticket giveaways for upcoming Anthem shows like All Time Low, Portugal the Man, and Head and the Heart." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"A reliable spot for fishbowl cocktails and sunset views, this rum distillery’s restaurant is now open for lunch from noon to 2:55 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. All-day tropical-inspired fare is available, like tuna poke and spam musubis, along with an “Affordable Feast” lunch special that pairs one food item, like a Hawaiian flatbread or gravy-covered loco moco, with a rum punch, glass of wine, or beer." - Emily Venezky
"D.C. bar vet Todd Thrasher owns and operates this massive tiki bar at the Wharf with a rooftop deck overlooking the Potomac.

Weekday happy hour (3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays) includes rum drinks with a mixer of choice ($7), spring rolls ($6), and shrimp dumplings ($6) and $5 bottles of Pacifico. Reserve indoors or outdoor seats here." - Tierney Plumb
