Summers are for date nights. Am I right or am I right? For the past month, husband and I have been spending our Friday evenings (and Sunday afternoons) enjoying refreshing beverages and delicious meals. A few weeks back we were invited at The Yard (at Ritz Carlton, Georgetown) to be their guests and indulge in their new summer libations and chilled hors d’oeuvres.
The Yard, is the new urban garden oasis nestled in the heart of historic Georgetown, a short walk away from M Street. The space as a real chic industrial vibe, with the exposed red brick walls and tired seating amongst lust greenery.
They have a fine selection of local craft beers, and bourbon along with some refreshing cocktails. I would recommend Rhubard Rouge.
I was also quite impressed with their small plates options. It was a huge upgrade from your usual bar menu. You would definitely count it as a complete meal if you are into tapas like I am. I especially enjoyed the flatbread (they were kind enough to make a vegetarian option for me!) and the watermelon salad.
My husband ordered steak tacos and warm tomato toast (which he shared with me). I definitely look forward to going back and enjoying more summer evenings at The Yard, while the weather is still pleasant!

There is also a LIVE DJ playing Thursday-Saturday, 7:00 - 10:00pm. This is a perfect spot for a casual evening, or for pre-dinner drinks, or a weekend brunch with friends.
