In reading the Definitive Patio Bar List comments, it struck me that Bin Round is right, we need to look beyond the usual suspects:

There must be more! How about Capitol Hill or Columbia Heights? Anyone know of good places there? Other than G’town and GWU, any places near the schools in the area?

Last night I stumbled home from one of my favorite places, Wonderland Ballroom after a great time in their new pet-friendly outdoor Beer Garden. Yep, a great Beer Garden in Columbia Heights. Who knew?

Well now you do. And we should all know – where are more Patio Bars? Add your new ideas to the Definitive Patio Bar List.
