So many D.C. neighborhoods are great places to drink – H Street, Adams Morgan, Dupont, 14th Street and Shaw, to name a few. When hitting these drinking destinations, it's important to know where to go to carb up so the next morning won't be so rough. Many of these late-night spots are burger joints — which isn't too surprising — but there's also falafel, sausage, pizza, pies and doughnuts for those seeking some calories to pair with alcohol.

12 Late Night Food Options in Drinking-Centric Neighborhoods
Prevent a hangover here.

Amsterdam Falafelshop
Located in the heart of the 18th Street bar crawl, Amsterdam Falafel is an Adams Morgan institution to fill up on the cheap. Open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, it'll be hard to find a quality spot that's open later than this. The restaurant has been expanding to other drinking-centric neighborhoods like Arlington, too.

Biergarten Haus
The weather has turned cold, but the Biergarten Haus has heaters and the fireplace roaring to keep the masses warm. And its sausage platters after a few rounds of German beer will also help matters. It's open till 2:30 a.m. on weekends, but the kitchen closes at 1 a.m. so order up for the final round.

Eat The Rich
When the party starts late in the night, it should finish with a round of oysters. Part of Derek Brown's bar trio in Shaw, Eat the Rich is a mainstay for people in the industry looking for some seafood. Kitchen is open until 1 a.m. weeknights and 2 a.m. weekends.

Fast Gourmet
There's more to Fast Gourmet than its well-loved chivito sandwich. This place also has soups and rotisserie chicken. But everyone seems to get the chivito. The gas station-slash-restaurant has a loyal following, and its late night hours probably help with that following. On the weekend, a late bite can really be an early morning bite with the spot serving up until 5 a.m.

GBD (Golden Brown Delicious)
Late night chicken and doughnuts pair well with well-made cocktails. And at 2 a.m., most imbibers are looking for alcohol and carbs. GBD has them both. On Fridays and Saturdays, the Dupont party doesn't have to end until 3 a.m. when the doors close, but the kitchen closes at 1 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.
