Spark kickstarts the day with coffee, pastries and cafe charm, then turns it up at sundown with DJs, drag trivia and zero-proof cocktails that pack a punch.

Next door to Spark Social House is Crush, a retro-inspired cocktail lounge and entertainment mecca for anyone and everyone. The intimate and sophisticated space on U Street offers upscale snacks and buzzing conversations.

Follow the beat down P Street to this iconic dive bar. The Fireplace is known for its notably diverse crowd, robust drink selection and warm namesake beside the bar.

Outside, we have an expanded patio area that now includes a large streatery and cocktail servers.
