$40 Date- Skydome Lounge Doubletree Crystal City

Now you have probably walked past this spot 100 times on your way to Pentagon City Mall. The Doubletree hotel actually has a revolving restaurant and lounge on the top floor.

You don't have to be a guest to enjoy this spot, so just walk right in and take the elevator all the way up. It has one of the best views of the city, and makes a full 360 degrees rotation every hour. So don't worry that the rotating will make you dizzy, but the drinks will. Fairly priced, and they actually have a DJ that plays music. They also have a karaoke night.

Call in advance to see what's going on that night. They serve food until 11:00 pm and last call for drinks is at 1:00 am.
