#VIBE HEALTH BAR H STREET WINDOWS#

Republic Restoratives, an LGBTQ-owned distillery located in Northeast, is a longtime supporter of LGBTQ rights in D.C. To honor pride, Le Diplomate is highlighting Republic Restoratives spirits. This upscale Parisian-style bistro graced with one Michelin star will join the party by opening up its bar area overlooking 14th Street for the parade. Guests who are coming to watch the parade can take their cocktail on the patio to get a front-row seat to the parade festivities. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project. Now one of three Mi Vida locations and part of the gay-owned Knead Restaurant Group, this colorful Mexican restaurant on 14th will have a special Pride cocktail, “Plus One,” which includes Tito’s Vodka, Chinola Passion Fruit, Aperol, Vanilla, Lime, Bubbles ($16).

To the delight of marchers, the many windows that face 14th Street will be painted a vibrant rainbow, as Tico did each year as well. Nama Ko will also offer two soft-serve flavors to go: miso honey truffle with chocolate & caramel sauces, and a black sesame soft serve topped with date syrup, cherries, and candied walnuts. The featured drink is a Lychee Saketini made with Tito’s Vodka, Nigori sake, and lychee purée the drinks will be offered to-go for $10. Situated just north of the parade kickoff, Nama Ko (which recently replaced Tico, from the same owners), will be celebrating Pride this year with three cocktail options for bottomless brunch (during the parade weekend and all month long), and an extended happy hour from 3-7 p.m. From start to finish, check out a few select options below.

One of the best ways to watch: Settle down at one of the many bars and restaurants that line the route. The parade tradition honors the city’s LGBTQ history and acknowledges the evolution of the LGBTQ neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., as the parade winds through the 14th Street, Logan Circle, and Dupont Circle neighborhoods. The Capital Pride Parade steps off from 14th and T streets, N.W.
