Jo-Jo Valenzuela, the award winning bartender behind this Adams Morgan tiki room, pairs his cocktails with the Filipino food he grew up on in Cainta. The $40 dinner runs lumpia or jackfruit salad into beef pares, a BBQ java bowl, or salmon curry, and closes with ube ice cream or buko turones; any two house cocktails pair for $20. The bar won the 2023 RAMMY for Favorite Gathering Place, and happy hour runs 4 to 7 every day.
