Capitol Hill Nightlife| A visit to Captain Blacks

If you're on Capitol Hill and lucky enough to score a parking spot, you can hit up one of the many bars that seem to be in abundance in this area. One spot we recently checked out is Captain Blacks, a dive bar that's been open since 2009. They have a second-floor patio that's bathed in sunlight looking out to the city. Since it was so busy and packed, I felt transported to NYC, but in the best way. 

At Captain Blacks you'll order your drinks at the bar and then grab a seat inside, where it's kind of dark and there's a nautical theme, or head out to the back patio and try and grab an empty seat. I ordered a Miami Vice, one of the featured slushies. This is a beachy beverage typically part Pina Colada and part Strawberry Daiquiri. Not only was this delicious and refreshing but it was very strong. One bevy here was good enough for me! My husband enjoyed a House Margarita, that was surprisingly purple and we weren't mad about it. 

For food here, you'll need to order it on your phone and pick up your grub from the kitchen window. They serve food from TJ's Street Tacos. We ordered an Asada Quesadilla with a chipotle sauce on the side. The serving was huge, four big pieces full of asada, cheese, guacamole, and cilantro. It was a little spicy from the chipotle sauce, and the flavor from the asada was on point. 

This bar on Capitol Hill was so lively and fun. Go check it out if you like your cocktail with a view, even a second floor one!
