Located on the Southwest DC waterfront, Cantina Marina is the kind of place Jimmy Buffett would like. Sunset views, barbecue shrimp, and cold Coronas keep its patio bar packed with a lively crowd in the warmer months. With yachts drifting down the channel and the Washington Monument in the distance, it’s a tempting escape from the 9-to-5 grind.
