Great rooftop bar for those sunny DC days. Went there to meet some friends and listen to some house music on a Sunday afternoon. DJ was great, not sure what themes the have on other days. Bartenders are friendly, definitely look for a bartender named Ron who is very helpful and make anything you are looking to drink.
$25 for a dirty martini in a plastic cup! For that price, you’d think there would be more class.
Good drinks and good vibes

Ciel Capitol Hill is a rooftop restaurant and bar offering stunning views of the city in a chic and inviting atmosphere. The setting is perfect for sunny days and peaceful evenings, with a beautiful outdoor patio featuring heaters, making it ideal for relaxing with friends or enjoying a date night. The venue provides a lively yet not overly crowded bar area, creating a vibrant but comfortable environment. The food menu includes tasty appetizers and entrees with solid portion sizes, and the dessert has received high praise for being "insane." The cocktails and mocktails are highly recommended, with friendly bartenders, including a helpful staff member named Ron who can craft any drink. The jazz band on Wednesdays adds a nice ambiance, with music flowing smoothly as musicians take breaks.
However, service experiences vary. Some guests have enjoyed attentive, welcoming staff and excellent service, while others have faced delays and confusion, with long waits for drinks and food, and some staff seeming inexperienced. Incidents like forgotten orders and broken glass underfoot have marred the experience for some visitors. Despite these issues, the overall atmosphere, views, and quality of food and drinks make Ciel Capitol Hill a promising spot. It is especially popular during spring and weekend evenings, attracting those looking for a peaceful, adult environment with great scenery and good food. With improvements in service, it has the potential to become a top destination in the city.
