Low-Key Friday Drinks: All Souls Bar

It's no secret that Shaw is currently a scene. But if they go early (late night paints a different story), drinkers can experience a more relaxed experience at this bar, which opened before the neighborhood got insane. Go right after work and sample a cocktail from the limited menu, or pick from a variety of local beers.

Friday night pizza: Vin and Vic's

As Eater learned this week, Chicago-style deep-dish pizza can be tough to find in D.C. This pop-up at the Capitol Lounge is trying to do thing right, serving up both thin crust and deep dish varieties. Find them on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Saturday tacos for lunch: Taqueria Habanero

Tacos brighten any weekend, so check out this well-regarded taqueria for a Saturday lunch. Eater's been in a fish taco mood lately, and Habanero has some good ones, but there are plenty of other varieties to choose from as well.

Get there first: Saturday Night at Ashlar

Go see what Kimpton's been up to over at the revamped Morrison House property in Old Town. The colonial-inspired cocktails at this new tavern sound particularly intriguing.

Rooftop bars are one of the best things to come out of spring weather. Eater picked out 15 essential ones around town this week — here's a U Street favorite that doesn't disappoint. The roof deck is open late every night, including Sundays.
