The Boardwalk DC brings the fun of the seashore to the heart of Penn Quarter. It’s essentially a boardwalk arcade for grown-ups. The video games are downstairs, while the chic seating and bar are located upstairs. If you haven’t had a chance to check out The Boardwalk DC yet, hit it up for happy hour (which is offered every day, even Saturdays and Sundays).

During happy hour, you can snag one of the inventive craft cocktails for just $12. Try the Takoda Mule, a mix of vodka, grapefruit, lime, and fresh ginger, or the Butter Corn Old Fashioned, a blend of butter-washed bourbon with bitters, demerara, and black walnut. Snack on a farm-to-table hot dog, an ice cream sandwich, or handfuls of popcorn as you play games and toss back drinks at The Boardwalk DC, located not far from your apartment near Market Park DC.
