Boathouse Happy Hour on Friday Nights

Head to Key Bridge Boathouse (3500 Water St NW) on Friday night for happy hour from 5 pm to close, featuring live music, drinks, games, and beautiful views of the sun setting over the Potomac. Specials include $5 White Claws and Bud Lights, in addition to other beer and wine offerings. If you want to get out on the water first, discounted paddling rentals are available, or you can take a guided kayak tour to the monuments. The latter begins at 5:30 pm with a paddle around Theodore Roosevelt Island, right up to the Watergate steps. From there you’ll get a one-of-a-kind view of the Lincoln and Washington Memorials.
