777 9th Street NW, Washington, D.C.
Another fantastic offering from D.C.’s Penn Quarter, Boqueria is nestled in the heart of D.C. and serves up a wide variety of delicious small plates, that will transport you to the bustling streets of Spain without leaving the capital!
This Spanish restaurant meets tapas bar is a great option for this year’s birthday dinner! Serving small plates, authentic-style paella, and an abundance of sangria, you most definitely will not leave Boqueria hungry (or sober, for that matter).
Choose from a classic package of unlimited sangria and mimosas for $29 or spring for an expanded version that adds on bloody marys, cava, and Barcelona’s Estrella Damm lager for $45. Both are available for 90 minutes from 11 a.m.
Boqueria Dupont – 1837 M St., NW

Seedlip Garden, an alcohol-free spirit made from rosemary, thyme, spearmint, and other herbs, is the base for this drink. It’s topped with butterfly pea tea for color, plus lime, ginger beer, honey, and garnished with rosemary ($12).
