Everyone now lives in a world that is go, go, go. Our generation is a Blackberry, iPhone, WiFI world where work is often a 24-hour affair. And not in the least because of these stressful lifestyles, sometimes a stiff cocktail is an absolute necessity. But what about those times when your work day isn’t over but happy hour is happening? What if you want to fire off some emails will sipping on something strong? These D.C. bars – with both top-notch drinks and strong WiFi signals – can let you telecommute while getting your buzz on.

Busboys & Poets: This D.C. institution, now with two locations within the city limits, is many people’s go-to spot when it comes to pairing alcohol and internet. You’ll find everything you might want in an office away from the office, with tasty comfort food on the menu, jazz gently playing in the background and cushy couches to sink into. And whether you head to the original at 14th and U Street NW, or the newer 5th and K Street NW location, the one thing you’ll almost always find is a seat. Both bars can easily fit 200 people looking to log in and unwind.

Kramerbooks & Afterword: If what you are after is craft beer, quiet, and a spot to hook up a laptop, than search no further than Kramerbooks & Afterwords. This cozy, locally-owned bar, restaurant and bookstore, just north of Dupont Circle, is the place to check out. Head to the bar, in between the store and restaurant. It has a nice long wood ledge and stools opposite the bar to create ample work space. And the draft list, which is always rotating, rocks, stocked with the local, like DC Brau, and the obscure, like North Coast Brother Thelonius Ale.

The Tombs: If you’re looking for an atmosphere conducive to working, it’s best to avoid this Georgetown haunt on the weekends, since it’s usually filled with college students slamming pizzas to prevent tomorrow’s hangover. But on the weekdays the vibe changes, with students focusing on their future careers instead of future hookups. And while cheap pitchers of domestic drafts can entice anyone, the bigger sell is the recently upgraded menu, which takes its cues from its famous neighbor upstairs, 1789 Restaurant.

Open City: Everyone’s favorite Woodley Park hangout is almost always buzzing. The large plate-glass windows make for a bright and airy space. Brunch here is the big sell, with the biggest crowds coming Saturday and Sunday morning. Strong coffee and even stronger Bloody Marys make it an enticing place to catch up on the work you forgot to finish during the weekday.

SOVA Espresso & Wine: One of the first forays into the burgeoning Atlas District was this wine bar, on the bustling 1400 block of H Street, NE, alongside Rock & Roll Hotel and Biergarten Haus. But this bar maintains the opposite vibe of those two happening hot spots. Downstairs, baristas draw excellent espressos. Upstairs, eclectic couches and chairs offer comfortable spots to snuggle into with your MacBook. Then, order something from the robust wine list, which is always rotating and always has great by the glass options

Tryst: This combination bar and coffee lounge is an Adams Morgan mainstay. Next to Madam’s Organ on 18th, Tryst may be known in the area for serving fantastic, fair-trade coffee. But it really should be known for its drink menu, which contains unique spins on classic cocktails, like the “Not a frickin' Appletini,” a grown-up version of the sweet sorority drink, and it’s large selection of “Coffeehouse Cocktails” with the right blend of caffeine and alcohol to keep you functioning and working all night. But be careful while imbibing and emailing, some drinks seriously pack a punch, like the “las Fallas Café,” which comes with coffee, Kahlua and 151.
