Ivy City Smokehouse

Ivy City Smokehouse is one of Northeast Washington DC's most beloved multi-purpose destinations - a renowned seafood smokehouse and tavern with a sprawling rooftop deck that doubles as one of the city's premier venues for DC's indigenous go-go music and DJ-fueled nightlife events.

The Tavern regularly books Backyard Band, one of DC's most beloved go-go groups, alongside go-go legends like Rare Essence, who have hosted a series of rooftop parties throughout 2026. The food program is equally impressive, known citywide for smoked and grilled seafood.
