About Us
Who We Are
Perch Rooftop Lounge is an elevated escape in the heart of Buzzard Point, where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers converge and the skyline stretches from the Frederick Douglass Bridge to the Capitol dome. Located atop the Cambria Hotel Navy Yard, Perch offers a 6,000-square-foot rooftop experience that blends bold design, handcrafted cocktails, and panoramic views.
A rooftop retreat with an unmistakable D.C. energy, Perch offers a space that feels both lively and refined for anyone unwinding after a game, meeting friends for cocktails, or soaking in the sunset over the city.
What is Perch
More than a rooftop, Perch is a state of mind — one that reflects the rhythm and evolution of Southwest D.C. Our indoor lounge and open-air terrace are designed for connection and creativity, where every night brings a new vibe, a new flavor, and a new view.
Here, you’ll find curated events, music, and a rooftop culture that celebrates the city’s pulse. Perch is stylish yet approachable and classic yet fresh. From daybeds and bubbly brunches to nightfall cocktails under the stars, Perch is where D.C. comes to rise above it all.
About The Neighborhood
Nestled between Nationals Park and Audi Field, Perch Rooftop Lounge sits in the heart of Buzzard Point, one of D.C.’s most exciting and fast-growing waterfront neighborhoods. Once a historic industrial area, this corner of Southwest has transformed into a destination filled with energy, creativity, and culture. With new parks, trails, and mixed-use spaces like The Stacks, Buzzard Point offers the perfect blend of local charm and modern vibrance.
