Bars with outdoor games are all the rage right now, and Pinea's bocce bar is the newest in town (at least until Radiator opens next week). Reserve a bocce court and make that a way to unwind after the work week tonight.

Nostalgic late-night Friday dinner: Bistro Francais

The news is out there: Longtime Georgetown late-night haunt Bistro Francais is closing in May. Anyone with memories there can get one more meal in on Friday before the shutter.

Saturday [enclosed] rooftop happy hour: Hawthorne

Hawthorne has two things going for it when it comes to early drinks on Saturday — their rooftop happy hour runs daily, and their roof is enclosed so bad weather doesn't dampen the fun (literally).

Saturday late-night slice: Wiseguy

The smart move when getting late-night pizza in D.C. isn't Jumbo Slice: it's this transporting New York-style pizzeria. Choose from Manhattan-inspired favorites like meatball, Sicilian and buffalo chicken. And don't forget the garlic knots.

Sunday festiveness: Tequila flights at Fuego

It's no secret there will be crowds galore hitting up the area's Mexican restaurants come Thursday for Cinco de Mayo. Get a more relaxing tequila-drinking experience by heading to Fuego for one of their tequila flights. An order of queso wouldn't hurt, either.
