I wasn't there long, but it seemed overpriced. I had two drinks, and they were $25 apiece. At those prices, you can find much better options for the money you will spend.

Meh ! Nice view but they decided that they will close earlier than the 11 pm as they were not busy. Had a drink and called it quits

Overcrowded on a sat nite after a Nationals game with 2 bartenders to take orders. Only went here because I was tired after traveling all day and this was the closest at 10 pm. Overpriced and skimpy for what you get. Nice rooftop view for 5 min. Before it rained. Better bet is to have a drink during sunset.

Hi so as an Asian minority client who’s visiting with a friend of mine who’s Jewish and red head in W.dc it was very annoying and frustrating to not be served for over 20 mins because the bar tender was playing favoritism. During happy hour, just trying to live our best lives. So imagine getting up to the rooftop after a long day Tuesday early afternoon and you’re standing there, you got dressed up and left ur room to go upstairs. And you AND your bestie, both female ready for a refreshing drink. Facing such audacity and disrespect because a man decided to be jaded on a Tuesday even tho club should just be turning up on a Tuesday. Yikes. It’s Washington DC yall do better lmao.
Oh btw we got charged full price during happy hour DC time. Here’s the receipt attached below, idk how to feel rn. We spent $20-$30 round up per drank DURING happy hour like is this man CRAZY???? Can he plz just be fr. Ok that’s yall bye, watch out for the haters queens. Periodt Pooh.

Ooof let it rip.
It’s NOT giving year of dragon lmao

Came across this place while browsing rooftop in the DMV to explore.
Decided to check them out. I'm glad I did.

The bartender was the best. Very friendly and attentive. All her recommendations were spot on a hit!

Order;
Cheese board
Lobster rolls starter(my favorite)
Crab dip..

The food was good but the view was even better.
Will recommend walking down by the yard and waterfront. Beautiful with few bar for quick bite

Iman is the best bartender! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and a master mixologist. Even with a full bar, she manages to provide amazing customer service.

However, to not properly stock the bar is unprofessional. The only beer they had in stock was Dogfish Head IPA and woodchuck cider.

HH is until 7, with a nice variety of food.

Service especially memorable, drinks also better than average “hotel bar” and the light bites were solid. 5 mins walk from Metro station. They have a happy hour menu 5-7! Outdoor seating looked good for when the weather warms up, will be back!

LV is the best bartender! She is friendly, knowledgeable, and a master mixologist. Even with a full bar, she manages to provide amazing customer service. Come here and ask for LV!

When my wife and I visited DC, we were looking for a rooftop bar, and locals recommend us to stop at the Thompson rooftop bar.We were glad to make it to this bar. The service was very friendly, the drinks were great and the appetizers were delicious. The view and atmosphere were awesome. I would highly recommend anybody looking for a rooftop bar in the DC area.
