ANNE KIM-DANNIBALE Group Editor, WhereTraveler ® @wheretraveler

irst-time visitors to Washington, D.C., likely think of the capital as a 9-to-5 city of daytime pursuits. But when the sun goes down, the District comes alive. And it’s not just the happy hours at top-shelf bars across town (of which there are many). There’s plenty of fun to be had for families and couples, too. Turn to page 8 to find out about the latest nighttime trends.

Lucky for you, we’re not talking all-night dance parties, either. Our suggestions will get you home with plenty of time to keep the party going the next day. And you’ll need the rest because it’s festival time. From foodie feasts to art extravaganzas, there is a street fair for almost every taste. Turn to page 11 for all the details on our top picks.

Don’t have time to do it all? Take our lead and focus on one neighborhood like Navy Yard in Southeast. This riverside zone (page 12) highlights a top restaurant scene, sports and a whole lot more. Happy exploring!

D.C. After Dark

©SCOTT SUCHMAN; (FACING PAGE) ©ANNA MEYER

Ten years ago (or at least that time you interned here for Congressman Soundbite), D.C.’s warm-weather nightlife probably meant happy-hour drinks at a packed-to-the-wood paneling K Street bar or grooving to a band at the 9:30 Club. You can still do those things, but a bar cart’s worth of new after-five trends offer more ways to spend summer nights in the capital. From serene and healthful (mocktails, anyone?) to downright medieval (axe throwing, yes really), here are a trio of activities we’ll raise a glass to. JENNIFER BARGER

O-BOOZE BAR DRINKS “When I first moved to Washington, D.C., in 2017, I was overwhelmed by how much alcohol fueled the city,” says Nikki Blank, founder of local Sip City Switchel (www.sipcitydc.com). Switchel, a fizzy blend of apple cider vinegar, ginger, honey and citrus, has been around since colonial times (ancient Greeks gulped it, too). Blank updated it for modern palates via ingredients like turmeric and pomegranate. While the quaff can be mixed into cocktails, spots like Petworth Japanese temple Himitsu (828 Upshur St. NW, www.himitsudc.com) and The Line Hotel (1770 Euclid St. NW, www.thelinedc.com) pour switchel as mocktails.

Those spots are among a rising number of drinking dens that are slinging more non-alcoholic highballs these days, driven both by health-conscious millennials and the

COLUMBIA ROOM

popularity of non-hoochy drinks like kombuchas, shrubs and tonics. Local chain Circa Bistro (www.circabistros. com) puts out a Grapefruit Rose Fizz (bubbly citrus, simple syrup and rosemary). Celebrated mixologist Derek Brown’s “No Proof” menu at the Columbia Room (124 Blagden Alley NW, www.columbiaroomdc.com) uses tinctures, bitters, juices and wild ingredients like aquafaba (chickpea liquid!) to conjure cocktails with a punch, if not a buzz. “Just don’t call them mocktails,” says Brown. “It’s a misnomer that suggests you aren’t getting something good.”

ATCHET JOBS Axe throwing, once the fodder of lumberjacks and renaissance fest goers, now headlines at two local entertainment venues. Just hold the surprisingly light hatchets like basement bats, then throw them like soccer balls at a target in an attempt at “Game of Thrones”-style action. Punnily named indoor spots to work out aggression include Bad Axe in Northeast (2419 Evarts St. NE, www. badaxethrowing.com) and Kraken Axes (840 E St. NW, www.krakenaxes.com) in Penn Quarter. Both offer drop-in or group throwing sessions, and coaches keep things safe.

No booze or food are served at either location (maybe a good thing?), but you can bring your own snacks. “When the axes hit the wall, they make a really satisfying thud,” says local suit designer Sim Kahn, who recently hurled a few rounds at Kraken with a client. “I felt like Thor, or maybe, since I was in a suit, Patrick Bateman. It was wholesome and fun.”

dome) and European vibes. The latest high-minded lounges include Wild Days (1201 K St. NW, www.wild-days-dc. com), a snug indoor-outdoor bôite at the hip Eaton Hotel downtown for DJ spins, tacos and highballs, and the aptly named 12 Stories (75 District Square SW, www.12storiesdc.com) capping the InterContinental Hotel at The Wharf.

The latter, a plush indoor/outdoor perch for fresh oysters and house cocktails like the Blue Velvet (tequila, blueberry and lemon juices) stars 13-foot-tall windows with water vistas. ““I’ve taken in that magnificent view, and I’ve come to appreciate even more deeply what makes this city so special,” says Scott Gerber, principal and CEO of Gerber Group, the company who created the bar. And in red-hot restaurant zone Logan Circle, the new Skybox (a part of the Players Club bar, 1400 14th St. NW, www.playersclubdc. com) boasts retro décor, picnic tables and sweeping city views from the seventh floor. Which hey, is pretty high for the nation’s capital.

Taking It to the Streets

The nation’s political hub may seem all briefcase-toting lawyers and lobbyists, but locals also love to let down their hair. This month, festival season is in full swing, offering a variety of warm-weather diversions to do just that. Food features prominently, with fests devoted to tacos and barbecue, while LGBTQ pride and the arts bring hugely popular celebrations, too. Here are our top picks for fun in the summer sun.
