Taking the Capital by Rooftop...

Yes, I'll be at Eden's rooftop celebrating Julianne Brown's birthday for the evening, but with the humidity finally breaking (through mildly), what a better way to spend a DC night in the summer but enjoying cocktails at one of DC's fance rooftop locales? While my heart will always be dedicated to Eden on a Wednesday night (thank you, Nick Sanchez and fellow colleagues at Night Life Agency), there are also tons of other spots to enjoy in the city, allowing you to fist pump and still get some fresh air:

POV at the W Hotel still remains one of my favorite
rooftop bars in the city. 

1. Eden Lounge: On the corner of 17th and I, explore the exclusive rooftop of Eye Bar, customized with vines and shrubs that will make you be asking for Adam's whereabouts by the end of the night. With great bartenders, fast service, little overcrowding (make sure you get on the guest list early), the normally house-oriented DJs will have you dancing up a storm.
2. POV: You can't deny that the W still rules the city. Everyone says that the clientele went downhill at this downtown spot, but the view is nothing that can be beat. Try one of their delicious speciality cocktails, and enjoy the low key yet upscale vibe. A great spot to take a friend who's in DC for the weekend and wants to feel like she's doing something Washington-esque.
3. Ozio's: If you hit it on the right night, it can be a good time, but keep in mind that this rooftop bar is one that centers around hip-hop music with a less formal feel to it. On the 18th and M corridor, this place has definitely built up a regular clientele base and popularity over the past year, and especially caters to a crowd that isn't interested in a house music fiesta.
4. Current: Smack on Connecticut Ave., Current's white decor and delicious sushi is also embedded with a fabulous roof top deck in the back of the club with tons of contracted DJs from across the country and its own special bar. With probably the best party in the city on Thursday nights, I recommend that everyone gets on the list early hear to enjoy this oldie but goodie when it comes to DC night life (www.nightlifeagency.com for guest list info).

I hope to see everyone at Eden tonight, or taking the city rooftops by storm one night in the future...
