Now Open: Elements DC Brings the Fire (and Water, Air and Earth) to U Street

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an all-in-one place for food and drink to suit your present mood, whatever it might be? And that fit the occasion perfectly, from low-key to hi-fi?

A place tailored to the elements? Earth. Fire. Water. Air.

Maybe you’ve heard that Elements DC is now open. If you have not been to the four-level U Street entertainment emporium, maybe you should, no matter what your mood is.

The owners have spared no expense in living up to the promise of “high-end.” Elements DC is an elevated experience, beginning in the lower level — Earth, the VIP lounge (reserve it) with its stone walls, plush upholstered booths, and elegant light fixtures — to the top level — Air: Rooftop bar overlooking U Street with a view of the monument, accordion windows, a glass roof. And the bathrooms (the best on U Street) are designed like no other.

In between are two other levels:

Water, where the city’s most innovative DJs ply their trade on a state-of-the-art Pioneer XY sound system (“we can throw a party,” we are told by management); and Fire, a classy sports bar vibe with an industrial aura constructed of brick and iron, with warm, red lighting that might bring out the devil in some.

Signature, hand-crafted cocktails on every level, including Smoking Naked (you are SO naughty) and Midnight Swim (trust us, just order it). Familiar-yet-twisted food gets you from quesabirria tacos and bulgogi nachos to grilled bourbon pineapple chicken and build-your-own burgers.

All-in-one, no matter your mood and a perfect place to #beinyourelement. Be sure to follow @elementsonu on Instagram!
