This waterfront bar is one of D.C.'s best kept secrets

What's happening: Not too much — and that's the point. Go for grapefruit crushes, crispy shrimp baskets, live music on weekends, and Pentagon Lagoon views.

How to get there: By boat, bike (it's near Mt. Vernon Trail by Lady Bird Johnson Park), or car if you're southbound on the GW Parkway.

The bottom line: It's island time vibes — just don't think about what could be lurking in the Pentagon Lagoon.

The bar is open seasonally, noon to 7:30pm on weekdays, and 11am-8pm Friday through Sunday.
