Beautiful views and amazing vibes. Perfect place to gather and watch the sunset, meet for drinks, or just relax. Make a reservation if you’d like an outdoor area with a fire pit!

I came to Sly Rooftop this past sunday with a large party for a last minute venue change and this was definitely the better option. The venue was more aesthetic and the waiters were very accommodating and attentive even though we had a large party. The blue cornbread was the crowd favorite and again shout out to the waiters that made things enjoyable and run smoothly for us! A special shoutout to Lilo who met us at the front when we walked in and was SUPER friendly and made sure we had everything we could possibly need during our entire time there! Will definitely be coming back!

Friendly staff. Fast service. Great food! Cool view from patio, overlooking neighborhoods, and hotels. We had a reservation, not sure if that's required but we were seated immediately. Metro line nearby and had no issue talking.

The view was amazing on the patio seating. The fire pits are perfect. Our reservation was taken well on a Friday night 8:45 PM. The steak was cooked. Perfect. The electric slide drink was amazing for a tequila drink. I would definitely come back. I love velvet parking that was available $25 only.

The service was great but the food was overpriced and overdone. The mushroom flatbread was overwhelmed with hummus, the cornbread dry, the rice pudding tasteless, however the chicken sandwich was delicious. Might try the restaurant.

We visited around 3:30 PM on a Saturday. My friend and I just wanted drinks and nibbles, and it wasn’t too busy since they were switching from brunch to dinner. We grabbed a cozy couch table, and the servers were really friendly.
We started with truffle fries (so good we had seconds), and my friend got what they call the Electric Sly, a passion fruit blanco and mezcal spicy margarita that was a hit. I went for a Paper Plane first to see how they handled the classics. Later, I ordered a gimlet (not sweet, just how I like it), and two more friends joined us since they lived nearby. One of them tried the Electric Sly too, and the other had a Golden Spritz.
Now, the jerk lamb flatbread I got looked great but didn’t taste like jerk at all. There was no spice, just sweet, like it was tossed in browning and honey. A bit disappointing on that front. But the Afrobeat music and the view were fantastic.

I’m a huge fan of Marcus Samuelson so was very excited to check out Sly at the Morrow Hotel…lucky for us my friend Staci snagged a rooftop reservation which only enhanced our experience. We started the evening with Red Line Remedy cocktails, cornbread and ceviche with plantain chips. The ceviche was fresh and acidic but not spicy and they paired perfectly with the plantain chips. The cornbread portion was small for the price and the chive butter was different but it was good and I’d order them again. For my main I had the jerked lamb flatbread and split a farmer’s salad. The flatbread was good but saw pepper and thought it might be spicy…it wasn’t. The salad was really tasty and I enjoyed the vinaigrette but again I think for the price the portion was pretty small. I have to give a special shout out to our server Erika. Her bubbly and personable manner along with knowledge of the menu were the cherry on top to a fun evening out. We also appreciated her checking in after each course and round of cocktails arrived to make sure everything was to our liking. Erika’s off menu bourbon cocktail recommendation turned out to be my favorite!! Nothing beats great company, conversation, food, cocktails and a gorgeous view so if that’s your vibe I definitely recommend Sly Rooftop Bar.

Loved the rooftop! The rooftop has amazing views of the city. The food was ok. The service was slow, I don’t know if it was bc of a party. But, u had plenty of servers it just seemed like they were more concerned for the party that were there than the other customers.
Sly was our 1st stop in DC. I found out Marcus Samuelson was the owner after dining here and the food choices made more sense as a result. It has American fare food with an African twist and the food is so damn good. Not sure why others have a different experience but everything tried was fabulous, especially the burger and fries. The fries are the best I’ve ever had and that’s saying something (super crispy in the outside and soft/fluffy inside).
The cocktails are a little pricey and not very strong but that is my only qualm. The staff are dressed beautifully; their aprons have a modern African print. We wanted to sit outside but the sun was blazing and unfortunately a storm broke a few of their umbrellas. Overall, a great stop if you’re visiting in DC or are a local. Hopefully, you all like it too! 🔥

The service here is ridiculous. I came in at 4 when there was maybe 2 small parties in the establishment and my service was extremely slow. It took over 30 minutes to simply receive an order of fries. When the fries finally came out they were wrong and had to wait a substantial amount of time for the corrected order of cold fries. There was a larger party that came after me that got served before me although I was a party of one. They said I could sit anywhere then I had to move for a larger party. Although there was an umbrella right next to my table and I was in the sun, the server didn’t open it. The service of this restaurant is that of a chipotle. I’m not coming back.

Instead of Sly it should be called slow. Order a drink, wait 30 min, ask where is your drink, then they’ll bring it. Very lame since they auto charge 20% service
