As Cinco de Mayo approaches, several DC-area establishments are gearing up to celebrate with vibrant festivities. Notable events include early celebrations at the Arlo hotel's rooftop on May 4, featuring creative snacks and cocktails. Baby Shank will host a unique drag brunch with tequila shots on May 3. Union Market promises a lively patio fun day with frozen drinks and walking tacos. Several Maryland cantinas will kick off drink specials, offering affordable sangrias and margaritas, ensuring a festive atmosphere across the region.
On Sunday, May 4, the Arlo hotel's rooftop bar will host an early Cinco de Mayo celebration from 2 to 9 PM. Munch on snacks like black-garlic-mole nachos and wagyu tacos, and sip such cocktails as the "Sencha in the City" with green tea and mezcal, while listening to beats by DJ XAVI. Tickets, which include one free drink, can be purchased for $25 here.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo at a French restaurant might seem counterintuitive, but Baby Shank promises that its themed drag brunch on Saturday, May 3 will feature tequila shots and "queens serving up sass hotter than a jalapeño." Tickets for the event, which do not include brunch or drinks, are available for $27 per person here.
On Monday, head to Stephen Starr's Union Market Mexican restaurant for a daytime patio celebration with frozen mangonadas (pouches with spiked-or not-tamarind and hibiscus agua fresca), and walking tacos made in bags of Takis. The fun starts at 11:30 AM. A few specials, such as shrimp tostadas, will be offered over the weekend.
These Maryland cantinas are offering Cinco de Mayo drink specials starting Friday, May 2. Look for $10 sangrias and pineapple/mezcal shots, as well as margaritas ranging from $13 to $16.
