This new rooftop bar located in Shaw will transport you to a small paradise unlike anything you have ever seen in D.C. before. Discover El Techo!
Originally starting off as a food truck, Rito Loco has become one of the Shaw neighborhood's favorite restaurants, and on September 8 it opened an amazing rooftop bar called El Techo! [gallery columns="2" size="large" ids="4286,4289"] El Techo currently only serves two cocktails, but those tasty $11 drinks will keep you coming back for more! The margaritas are rimmed with black salt, and there's a black currant caipirinha that will keep you sipping! The beer menu features Tecates, Coronas, and D.C. favorite, D.C. Brau, for just $6. Don't worry, though -- the bar is still new, so even more cocktails are likely on the way -- especially since the bar team hails from the ever-famous Founding Farmers, who come up with the most complex and tasty cocktails the District has ever seen!

While the bar does not serve its own food just yet, there is a menu on deck! It may be a bit pricey, ranging from $15 upwards, and includes more seafood than you can handle. Until the bar serves its own food, you can order from Rito Loco, and it will meet you upstairs!
El Techo is open Monday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 11 pm, on Fridays from 5 p.m to 12:30 a.m., on Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 12:30 a.m., and on Sundays from 1 p.m to 6 p.m. The roof can only hold about 70 customers at once, so get there early! For more information, check out their website.
