Talk to the manager about your options. Quite often venue managers do not have a problem with BYOB, however there may be a corkage fee which you might have to pay. Calculate which option is more affordable for you.
Depending on the whereabouts of the bar, you will have to check which district you are in. Washington has attractions spread out all over the city, so if you have time, go check out the White House, the US Capitol or the Memorials (like the Lincoln Memorial). Visit the beautiful parks, take a stroll near the river, or go and check out the Washington skyline.
