"The island oasis atop New York Ave makes for an ideal spot for private events or a celebratory night out. The wrap-around rooftop and lush interior lends itself to picturesque photos guaranteed to go viral on Instagram. Try out plenty of tequila drinks (including margarita variations), tacos, and delicious guacamole while looking over the developing Union Market district." - Tierney Plumb
"Situated five stories in the sky atop the newly rebranded Hotel Nell, Treehouse channels Tulum’s lush landscape and nightlife culture with a state-of-the-art sound system and panoramic views of the buzzy Northeast neighborhood. Perfect to start your night, snack on the discounted chicken and General Tso’s cauliflower tacos ($3.50 each) and sip on a margarita ($8) or Paloma ($9) during happy hour till 7 p.m. on weekdays. The Mexican-leaning brunch is also a fun way to start your weekend." - Emily Venezky
"This year-old rooftop lounge from Versus — the company behind Ciel Social Club and Heist — aims to be a Tulum-esque destination, complete with live DJs, ceviche and tacos, and a rum-emphasized drinks menu. The fire pit is just the spot to sip on a cocktail while taking in the District skyline." - Mekita Rivas
"At this jungle-themed oasis high above Union Market, the tropical cocktails are as imaginative as the space. With fun names like How the Leopard Got Its Spot — made with Illegal mezcal and a cantaloupe cordial — or a Palm Dream with Bacardi Ochoa and a miso-and-mango cordial, it’s almost impossible to not feel like you are on a sky-high vacation." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"Come to the Union Market district’s new rooftop getaway for his-and-hers cocktails. The “his” is an Old Fashioned variant and the “hers” will be a French 75. Additionally, the rooftop bar runs a date-night special for $40 that includes one of each cocktail and Yucatán chicken tacos. Reserve here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
