Lady Bird: A Dupont Circle Bar

On the Washington DC rooftop bar scene, Lady Bird is one of a kind — just like the former First Lady from whom it borrows its name. From an indoor/outdoor perch atop the Kimpton Hotel Banneker, get a bird’s-eye view of the bustling city below, including an unobstructed look at the White House down 16th Street NW. Among the crackling fire pits, movable glass walls, low-slung lounge chairs, and DJs playing ambient music, the design takes flight with subtle nods to the wings and patterns of the wood thrush, the District’s official bird. Don’t miss local artist Meg Biram’s mural behind the centerpiece U-shaped bar, which offers drinks as dazzling as the star-studded views.
