Fireworks and Democracy: Best Rooftops to Watch Both Burn on the Fourth

  • Ellipse Rooftop Bar: Though the Ellipse landmark is open to the public, the Ellipse Rooftop Bar is exclusive. From here, watch our dismal future take shape.

  • Top of the Yard Rooftop Bar: This rooftop offers much more than fireworks. Watch the Nats lose baseball games while we lose our freedom.

  • Vue Rooftop Bar: A great bar if you want to view the Washington Monument thrusting up from the earth as we all get fucked.

  • The Ven at Embassy Row: This rooftop offers a view of the night sky while overlooking the embassies of other nations. Your heart, too, will burn with jealousy as you are reminded that a few places on earth are not currently on fire.

  • The Graham Georgetown: An awesome view from historic Georgetown. Gaze upon our momentous city and remember the awful deeds that got us here.
