Best places around D.C. to drink by a fire

🍸 Cocktails: Date night destination 600 T is our go-to for top-notch cocktails and live jazz next to an intimate hearth.

🍷 Wine: Snag a vintage-style sofa next to the wood-burning fireplace at Georgetown's Bar à Vin (which serves the full brasserie from Chez Billy Sud next door).

🇫🇷 Nouveau: Georgetown hotspot L'Avant Garde sets a crackling hearth in the center of its chic French dining room.

🗝️ Throwback: So does neighbor La Chaumière, where you can rekindle old flames over cassoulet and Dover sole.

🥂 Vintage: Old Angler's Inn in Potomac — one of the D.C. area's oldest restaurants — boasts patio fire pits and indoor fireplaces come winter.

🚗 Escape: Cedar Knoll outside Alexandria feels country-chic with a big wood-burning hearth and tufted armchairs for sipping cocktails like a Scotch "grandpa's cardigan."

⛺ Glamping: Beer meets fire at Lone Oak Brewery in Olney, where you can rent campfire pits (starting at $85) and glamping tents for lounging (starting at $132).

🍫 S'mores: Everyone can gather around the waterfront fire pit at Camp Wharf, where an airstream trailer serves s'mores makings and hot apple cider ($4.75 each).

🪴Rooftop: Sip mezcal margaritas by the flames at Tulum-inspired newcomer Treehouse at the Union Market Hotel.

❤️‍🔥 Romance: Fire-hop between drinks by the cozy hearth at The Tabard Inn and dinner at swoon-worthy Iron Gate across the street, which serves wood-fired fare around patio fire pits and by the fireplace in a converted carriage house.
