Bar Rouge
Aug. 5-21, happy hour: 3-10:30pm
Custom Olympic drinks are the name of the game at Bar Rouge in DC. The Stick It, crafted by lead bartender Naderia Wynn and inspired by both host country Brazil and the U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team, features Novo Fogo cachaça with green tea, lime, strawberry, and orgeat, $14. Additionally, each day that Team USA takes home a gold medal guests can enjoy $1 Jell-O shots throughout the night.

Commissary
Aug. 5-21, happy hour: 3-7pm
This bar is showing the Games on a projection screen in its dining room and has three Olympic cachaça cocktails for the duration of the Games, $9. Our favorite is the Gold Medal: a tantalizing blend of whiskey, cachaça, mint, lime, and sugar cane juice. Enjoy great pub food including house-made desserts and all-day breakfast while going for the Gold. They are also offering Team USA swag straight from the Games. 

ENO Wine Bar
Aug. 5-21
Celebrate the twenty-eight Olympians hailing from the Maryland, DC, and Virginia area! ENO Wine Bar in Georgetown has created the Road to Rio cheese flight, $14, and The Local Olympian wine flight, $20, to showcase the delicious, creamy cheeses and top-notch wines that are locally made in the DMV.

Tap House
Aug. 5-19, happy hour: 3-7pm
Get as close to Olympic glory as possible without a plane ticket to Rio! At City Tap House in Penn Quarter, happy hour begins two hours early for the Games. Cheer on your favorite athletes while sipping on a pint from their huge selection of craft beers. Specials include $5 select draft beers and $6 glasses of house wines.

Topaz Bar
Aug. 5-21, happy hour: 5-8pm
Go for gold and get a discount while you’re at it! The Topaz Bar at the Kimpton Topaz Hotel in Dupont Circle gives you the perfect place to cheer on Team USA. Happy hour has been extended an hour to give you the extra time to enjoy specials on draft beer, house wines, cocktails as well as great bar food like pretzels with beer cheese and burgers. Bonus: each day the US wins a gold medal, customers receive ten percent off their bill.
