Other places in DCA to get a mixed drink other than the Grotto?

[Lakewood]

Is there anywhere else in DCA to get a mixed drink other than the Grotto or going to the Grand Californian? I know of the bar at the D Land Hotel as well. Just wondering, and awaiting the beer garden....

I have seen pictures/heard mention of a margarita stand.

I am not sure if the Golden Vine, Tratatoria has mixed drinks.

Rita's Baja Blenders

Rita's Margarita - Lemon-Lime or Strawberry $6.79

Rita's Grand Margarita - Rita's Margarita with a splash of liqueur $7.29

The Tropicool (non-alcoholic) - Lemon-Lime, Strawberry or Our Featured Flavor $4.99

There is Ariel's Grotto and adjoining Cove Bar. For beer you can go to the beer cart on the wharf that looks like a beer truck and Pizza Oom Mow Mow and Taste Pilot's Grill.

In case you're only referring to the downstairs part of the Ariel's area, I will point out that if you go straight on through, past the greeters, you find yourself in the Cove Bar, which is where the Grotto drinks come from.

But you probably already know that.

I think the margarita stand serves wine based 'ritas, yuck....

Wine based 'ritas, I have never heard of such a thing. That sounds disgusting! Glad to know before we go and I end up ordering something expecting one thing, but getting another.

Yeah, they serve in in Mexican restaurants here that don't have a liquor license. Just not good at all, the Cove bar is great. But then again my flask with some Sailor Jerry is good too...

This dude has a bunch of photos including some close up shots. The beer truck is parked in the open dining area between Lucky Fortune Cookie restaurant (defunct) and Cocina Cucamonga towards the east wall and away from the winery. Face the Cocina then turn right 90 degrees and diagonally is the beer truck.
