    Find outdoor dining in Washington, compare patios and rooftop bars, and check estimated sun hours before heading out. Sun estimates use the sun's position, available venue sun hours and local weather where available. Guest sun reports are separate observations, not a guarantee of sunshine at a particular table. Coverage is a selection of listed places, not every restaurant in the city. Browse free, or share a group poll to choose where to meet.

    Outdoor dining and group drinks in Washington

    Compare listed outdoor seating, estimated sun hours and places to meet in Washington.

    • Sun forecasts, with limits made clear

      Compare estimated sun hours for 391 listed spots in Washington. Calculations and venue-provided hours help with planning, but buildings, umbrellas and a table's position can change actual conditions.

    • Ratings where available

      Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.

    • Live reports from locals

      Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.

    • 3 rooftops, filtered your way

      Browse available rooftop, waterfront and shade categories. Details depend on the tags and sun hours recorded for each venue.

    • Free, and no account required

      Search, sun hours, hours of operation and directions are free. Sign up only if you want favorites, check-ins and friend activity.

    • Choose a happy hour meeting spot together

      Pick a few venues and share a free after-work poll by message, email or any chat. Friends vote without an account or app. Check drink offers, opening hours and reservations directly with the venue; the poll does not book a table.
