"The stunning Wharf rooftop bar offers a pair of non-alcoholic cocktails ($12 each). The Ginger Snap comes with fresh ginger juice, pineapple, agave, lemon, mint, and soda water." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
"The modern cocktail lounge offers vantage points of the Potomac River and beyond. With 3,500 square feet of space, there’s plenty of room to accommodate parties of any size. The location is prime, situated atop the Intercontinental Hotel at the Wharf and near countless other spots for a more fulfilling meal." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"This upscale rooftop cocktail bar on the Wharf devised a refined, off-menu Dirty Shirley made with Tito’s vodka, fresh muddled raspberries, cointreau, lime, and club soda that’s topped with a pickled raspberry garnish." - Kalina Newman
"This rooftop bar at the InterContinental hotel is already a popular hangout spot among residents, boasting 3,000 square feet of indoor space and 450 square feet outdoors. Nibble on oysters and buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches while sipping on classic cocktails made with a spin, all the while letting the waterfront views paint a picturesque setting."
"The swanky bar sitting pretty atop the InterContinental Hotel will host a Kettle One open bar (8 p.m. to 10 p.m.) with passed apps (9 p.m. to 11 p.m.), music by DJ Andrew Hypes, and a complimentary Moët & Chandon champagne clink at midnight. General admission tickets are for $120. Ballers can opt for table service (jdallesasse@12storiesdc.com) with specials on bottles and magnums of the bubbly." - Tierney Plumb
