Dirty Habit Washington DC – Hidden happy hour spot

""Dirty Habit" Washington DC is one of the prettiest patio bars in the city, and it's pretty hidden! As a whiskey girl, I tend to get their Old Fashioned!"

Hidden away behind the Hotel Monaco in Chinatown is an unexpected place to find one of the prettiest patio bars in the city. Dirty Habit is a wide open patio with lots of comfy but chic seating. Strung lights and stone fire pits set an inviting but still polished tone. Even though the bar itself is a bit hidden, its central location in Chinatown makes it a great stop before dinner or a Verizon Center performance.

This hotel restaurant is a great, upscale option for dinner, lunch, and brunch. However, Dirty Habit also offers a weekday happy hour with discounted cocktails, beer, wine, and bar snacks. The cocktails rotate but there’s a good variety of dark and light liquors. As a whiskey girl, I tend to zero in on their Old Fashioned. Without breaking the bank, you can lounge with your drink and feel fancy before a weeknight dinner.

Dirty Habit offers happy hour Monday to Friday from 16:00 to 19:00.
