Jack Rose Dining Saloon	2007 18th St. NW	A modern-day saloon with a throwback feel, but you’ll be throwing back a lot more than just memories thanks to its selection of whiskeys and other stiff drinks. Case in point: The walls are covered top-to-bottom with more than 2,000 bottles of top-notch liquor. Hungry? You can also enjoy small dishes here like seared scallops or larger entrees like ribeye. With a 2AM closing time on weekdays (3AM on weekends), you can really make a night of it here.

Open until 2AM all week long, the combination restaurant, lounge, and concert venue carries a late-night menu that’s been designed with the night owl in mind. Order from the list of munchies if you just want a snack like tater tots or charcuterie, though there’s plenty in terms of sushi, crab cakes, and milkshakes to take in as well.
Old Ebbitt Grill	675 15th St. NW	Old Ebbitt Grill is steeped in DC history as the oldest saloon in the area. (It opened its doors in 1856.)

This storied restaurant’s late night menu offers everything from burgers to crab cakes, pasta, and chicken.

The Tombs	1226 36th St. NW	Located in a converted townhouse from the 1800s, The Tombs is a fine place to watch a game or to knock back a few with your buddies.

Its late-night menu is surprisingly affordable, and includes comfort food like pizza, nachos, chicken fingers, and burgers.
The Diner	2453 18th St.	When you think of late-night eats, you think of greasy spoons, right? The Diner aims to deliver. Here, you can choose from an all-day breakfast menu or a variety of common comfort foods. Alcohol is also served until last call, which often occurs around 1:30AM.
The Passenger	1539 7th St. NW	This popular bar stays true to its title by placing you in the passenger seat of a great night. Open until 2AM or 3AM depending on what night you’re on-site, you’ll find plenty in the way of drinks and small bites to be had here. There are two levels, allowing you to venture upstairs for live music or DJs cutting up some of your favorite songs.
Yechon	4121 Hummer Rd., Annandale	If you’re looking for some of the best Asian food you’ve had at any hour of the day, you’ll have to venture west to Annandale.

The venue also boasts a great sushi bar and select dishes to meet your cravings.
New Big Wong	610 H St. NW	There’s nothing quite like Chinese food to satiate those late-night cravings. This popular pitstop, situated near the Verizon Center, can help provide Cantonese and Szechuan-style dishes as late as 4AM all week long. Pair the black pepper short ribs with roast pork fried rice and a beer to end the night on the right note.
Madam’s Organ Blues Bar	2461 18th St NW	The entrance to popular bar and live music spot Madam’s Organ is one of the most unique exteriors you’ll see in the district, or anywhere in the nation, for that matter. When you see the “Sorry, We’re Open” sign, you know you’ve arrived. Known for its blues music and soul food, you can groove as late as 3AM if you so desire.
