Madam's Organ - 2461 18th Street NW
Boasting drinks served in mason jars, live blues music nightly, and a get-down-or-get-out attitude, Madam's Organ has earned it's reputation for being a Washingtonian guilty pleasure. Adding to its excellence are the two upstairs patios located in the front and back of the venue. For those who aren't fans of mixing rooftop drinking and huge crowds, rest assured that the back deck (the one with a bar) usually isn't too packed.
