I love this rooftop bar.Whenever I'm in DC I've got to hit it up.Fantastic views, exceptional service, and yummy bar food.Can also purchase food from hall below and take upstairs.

The space has a lot of potential but poor execution in some areas:-The drinks are poorly mixed. $15 for a watered down Aperol Spritz or what tastes like store bought mix for margaritas.-The tables need more umbrellas because it gets very sunny up there on a warm day-There’s an obligatory 20% service fee and you’re still expected to tip on top of that. There was an announcement during bingo from the host reminding everyone to tip.-Food from Union market is only allowed in one small section which is too bad because the food on the roof is terrible

i didn't know you could get on the roof of union market until this asian night market event.Hard to judge the food and service bc i was there for an event. The food was great from the different vendors. Service was organized chaos bc of the crowd, but things were moving smoothly. The vibes were definitely there with the traditional dragons, shops, and food choices for an oriental asian experience.Parking: it's dc, union market has a small parking lot but you gonna have to find your own probably.

Nice cool vibe. I went twice on Wednesdays for bingo. Once in the summer in August & the other last Wednesday the 4th of October (a lil chilly out). They have bingo on Saturdays at 1pm with brunch too. You can bring your own blanket , reserve a table or get there early to claim some chairs. Food is a lil pricey with all the extra fees gratuity and service fees. I would suggest bringing your own food/snacks or go to the market and purchase before coming up. As I mentioned before its getting chilly out. I suggest them to have lil heat lamps out. Bingo is 6 rounds and is free. Prizes consist of a free beer for the couple first winners and the last winner a gift card to use at Hi-Lawn/union Market I believe. Overall, I enjoyed myself.

The mix drink is so bad. Pre mix margarita in a small water cup for $16. Taste like bad lemonade.

I thought this place was cool until they charged a 20% service fee and STILL asked for a tip.If you use that 20% to pay your staff’s wages, then you need to adjust your prices and stop asking for tips. That’s ridiculous.

NOT DISABILITY FRIENDLY. Denied my friend because of her service dog, then proceeded to get really nasty with me and in my face for pointing out the ADA. Staff’s behavior was unacceptable, appalling, humiliating, and overly aggressive.

The employees are not trained in safe food handling practices. I went to get a drink and the staff used a cup to scoop the ice, I asked if he had an ice scooper, he said yes but why use it when he can use the cup. I was appalled by this to say the least. Ice can be contaminated as well and it is in fact a health code violation to scoop Ice with cups you touch all over instead of a designated ice scoop. I would not purchase any food or drinks from here as a result for fear of contamination

This place was so good for a first date! The food was delicious and the drinks were good. There are cornhole boards and great views- what more could you ask for?!?

Hi-Lawn's elevator was out as of 8/27/23 and it took about 10 flights of stairs to get to the top. It is currently NOT ACCESSIBLE to people with disabilities as a result.Wheelchair accessibility: Hi-Lawn's elevator was out as of 8/27/23 and it would have taken about 10 flights of stairs (with railings) to get to the top. It is currently NOT ACCESSIBLE at all to people with mobility disabilities as a result. There was no indication of this on the website, so hopefully they repair the elevator soon or at least have the courtesy to notify people. There are also no accessible buttons to enter the building.

Went for Bingo night. Super fun, good vibe, decent drinks and decent food. A great time.

Not enough cover from the sun. Food from union market only allowed in a small area that is not reservable (this is NOT mentioned in the website). Eh. Not worth the trip.

Real chill spot! Came to play Wednesday Bingo.There was plenty of parking at Union Market when I arrived @545. Unfortunately, the elevator was out of service, so be prepared to walk up a thousand steps lol (it seemed like a thousand to me)Show your ID when you reach the roof. You can reserve tables on their website. Ours was a dining table, but we switched it to a "grass circle" table which is 2-3 lawn chairs around a green circle table on the grassy area. Since we had a table with a QR code, we could order drinks and food that were brought to our tableThere are plenty of "life sized" games to play like Jenga, Connect 4, Corn hole etc. You just have to leave your license on file for the gamesBingo was free! The event hosts even provided dabbers. Hosts played music throughout the event. Six games. Some of the music included cuss and the N word, by the time the host caught on to the lyrics it was too late. So be mindful of this if you bring childrenI got there around 545pm, but 630 the area was starting to fill up and even as the game started at 7, it was packed! Adults, children , everyone was having a good timeWould recommend and def. come back!
