Three Spots for the Best Mojito and Latin Dancing
in Washington, DC

Looking to spice up your evening with some of the best tasting Mojitos and Latin dancing that Washington, DC has to offer? Why not give a few of these charming venues a try…

Cafe Citron
”A carnival like energy packed with cosmopolitan style” is how this Brazilian cafe describes itself. Citron’s Mojito is arguably at the top of DC’s list, and the restaurant’s warm golden glow and vibe will make you feel as if you’ve escaped to a cafe in Rio. Enjoy Monday night’s live Flamenco dance performance, Tuesday night’s live Latin jazz, Wednesday complementary Salsa lessons, and the latest in Latin and international dance music the rest of the week.

Cafe Citron is located at 1343 Connecticut Avenue, Dupont Circle. Click here for more details.

Habana Village
Step into Old Havana at this quaint restaurant in a brownstone in DC’s Adams Morgan neighborhood. After dining and sipping a classic Mojito, immerse yourself and friends in live rumba, bolero and mambo music on Friday and Saturday nights. The music “allows our patrons to feel like they are in the middle of the Caribbean ocean,” says Habana’s website. And, be prepared to be asked to dance even if you didn’t plan on it. Salsa and Merengue lessons are also offered multiple times a week.

Habana Village is located at 1834 Columbia Road, NW, Adams Morgan. Click here for more details.

Zengo
The restaurant’s name is Japanese for “give and take” and the Latin-Asian fusion cuisine certainly leans more toward the giving end. While Latin dancing may be limited, the specialty Mojitos are worth a trip. Try a refreshing Mojito Cuzco with mint, cucumber and lime; or Mojito de Mango with fresh mango and mint; or the smooth Mojito Anejo with lime, mint and brown sugar.

Zengo is located at 781 Seventh Street, NW, Chinatown. Click here for more details.
