If you don't know where Calico is, finding it can feel like an adventure. Once you make it inside the patio, this bar in Blagden Alley is like an outdoor party, complete with tomato pie and adult juice boxes. The wooden deck features pink accent tables, an herb garden, string lights, and a dramatic greenhouse structure that serves as seating. If the weather takes a turn, there's a garage-like interior space with more pink decor and floral light fixtures. The bar, from Greg Algie and chef Nathan Beauchamp (of D.C. restaurants The Fainting Goat and Tiger Fork), serves lavender lemonade cocktails on draft, as well as boozy juice boxes (Instagrammable but controversial due to the single-use plastic). You'll also find frozen drinks and interesting wines and beers.

Cool outdoor spot to grab drinks on a summer night! Located in Shaw’s Blagden Alley near Tiger Fork and Columbia Room. I would recommend visiting all three if you have the time!

Funky neighborhood bar - try one of their boozy adult juice boxes on the sprawling biergarten-style patio.

A well appointed outdoor bar that's usually a scene. Go for the frozen cocktail, stay for the people watching.
