Cheers To Spring On These Excellent DC Rooftop Bars

Jack Rose Dining Saloon - 2007 18th Street NW

After passing the library shelves holding antique liquor bottles, head upstairs to the large rooftop patio and Tiki bar. The location and design of the roof deck at Jack Rose Dining Saloon merit brownie points. First, the upstairs bar area can be enclosed should it start to rain--a common springtime weather pattern in the DMV. Second, its prime address nestled at the intersection of the U Street, Dupont Circle, and upper 18th Street makes coming and going from this lounge easy, especially if you're going to be a baby particular about a few rain drops.
