This was a great afternoon retreat on a really hot summer day. It's a short walk from the Lincoln memorial and has a nice, light filled open vibe.

Found this place on a random search and decided to check it out because it was super close to an event we were venturing to and I saw they sold &Pizza. Who doesn't love &Pizza?! Walked into this cute hotel bar and sat at the bar we were greeted and ordered some drinks. I loved this place! The only downside is they don't have a full bar so drinks are limited to pretty much what you see on the menu I shared. el Jimador isn't my tequila of preference but blanco is typically a little too harsh for me. I had my tequila served neat because this place was too classy for shots lol. Very cool and chill vibe. For this to be &Pizza and it to be relativley empty it did take longer than expected for our pies to come. However, once arrived they were everything I could hope for. I got the Maverick (my go to as a creature of habit) and Bae got the Chicken Bacon Ranch (I stole a piece of his like any good girlfriend would). Both were good, but I am not a fan of onions on pizza so i picked them off :).

Found this gem within the Hive Bar, &pizza is nestled in a very hip part near GWU. This is one of the few times I've seen pizza in this style. Very shareable and love to the American Honey's sweet and savory pairing. The Maverick's basil adds a nice touch to the rest of the pizza. Overall very delicious and quick service.

Nice rooftop bar with views of the surrounding streets. When we went, it wasn't too busy so we had no trouble finding a table. It felt like a peaceful escape from the busyness of the city below. The hotel interior is cute and we had no trouble at all finding our way up to the roof. I just wish the drink selection up top had been more extensive--we were expecting a bit more variety on the beer list, but I guess that was just for the main bar in the lobby.

I liked this bar - it's a relaxing ambience and there's a fireplace too, which is nice if you're able to sit close to it on cold days and nights. Yes, there's also a rooftop but it's closed during the winter season. There's also a back patio space by &pizza with heating lamps (although this may not exactly be a part of the bar). But being inside was good - easy to get the attention of the bartender, and good liquors (Don Ciccio is even offered here). And their happy hour is a steal - cutting most regular drink prices by half. The drinks are only as good as the bartenders though and I've had a bartender that wasn't very good at mixing the drinks (one drink came out too sour and another came out too sweet). Despite this, my bartender was patient and friendly - and I'm sure if I had pointed this out, he would have remade the drink. For the last reason, I'd suggest this place only for those who are frequently in the neighborhood so they know who and what bartenders to order from. There's limited &pizza options (curated) in the bar menu but you're allowed to order from &pizza directly as well if you're wanting different options.
