Competitive DC ping pong cooperative Spin DC is serving specialty cocktails on Friday from 9 to 12 AM to celebrate Wimbledon. The club is offering happy hour specials for all who dress in tennis whites, with “Spinbledon Cups”—pimms, vodka, Sprite and fruit—going for $8. There is, of course, ping pong instead of tennis. Look for a kids day on Saturday from noon to 3 PM with more games, face painting, snacks, and more.
Wish Estadio a happy birthday between sips of discounted cava and Champagne on Saturday from 5 to 11 PM when the Spanish restaurant halves prices on bottles of bubbly to celebrate its ninth year. That means bottles start at $20, and decadent vintages like the Xarel-lo/Monastrell Blend are only $50. Finish the night on a sweet note with a jam-topped (birthday) cheesecake slice for $9.
