The Desert 5 Spot Experience
Inspired by the dusty magic of the Mojave, throwback roadside motels, and the legendary hideouts of Joshua Tree, Desert 5 Spot is DC’s home for country music culture. Downstairs, you’ll find Americana plates, cold beers, frozen margaritas, and specialty cocktails. Upstairs, it's bull rides, line dancing, strong pours, and open-air vibes perfect for a NYE under the stars. With daily live country artists and the signature Desert 5 All Stars, this is where the West comes alive.
This New Year’s Eve, leave the city behind and step into a world of neon lights, roadhouse soul, and untamed celebration. Throw on your boots, grab a margarita, and welcome 2026 with a honky tonk bang.
