Food was typical bar finger food. Service was excellent and the price was great. I'll come again for sure.

The best dance bar in DC. It is a scene to go to, so be prepared

I really enjoy this place but I’ve been overcharged on several occasions for 2-3 more items so always ask for your receipt.

Was a bit upset with the safety for females. I was rather disappointed in the lack of active policing and led to me to be assaulted night. Otherwise it’s a great bar that need better security

WARNING - WAS REFUSED ENTRY FOR BEING GAY, STAFF ARE HOMOPHOBIC, - Had an uncharacteristically awful and blatantly homophobic experience with staff at wonderland last night. A group of six of us were at the front of the line on a Saturday night. My girlfriend and I were holding hands. The bouncer asked “Are you lesbians?” (weird thing to ask but we assumed good intent and said,) “yes!” The conversation stopped, we thought that was the end of it, and we continued to wait in line, which all of a sudden stopped moving, even as dozens of people left. We asked if we could come in and he said no and then immediately said, “Are you ALL gay?” At this point, the questioning felt targeted. He continued questioning each member of our group asking if they were gay or not. “Are you SURE you’re not gay?” He would not let it go. As his questioning continued, it was very clear he was refusing us entry. After minutes of him probing, we left the line, deciding not to be a patron of an establishment that was clearly discriminatory. Cannot emphasize enough how this bouncer instigated this line of questioning and repeatedly interrogated us for minutes. We had been coming to Wonderland for years and had always found it welcoming, accepting, and fun. But after what happened, we will not be back, and would encourage other queer people to think twice before going there. We’ve reached out to Wonderland and hope to receive a response for this uncharacteristically egregious incident.

There is a lot of shady things happening here. It is very unsafe and promoting bad behavior. Very rude staff.

Love this bar. I live a block away and am there all the time. Bartender with the mullet sucks though and is super rude.

A great dance floor to be bisexual in

We love having Wonderland Ballroom as a DCGFFL sponsor! The support means a lot to our league, and it's become one of our favorite spots for league events. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the staff is fantastic, and it's the perfect place to unwind and even sing a little karaoke. Grateful for the partnership and looking forward to many more seasons together!

I'd not recommend it for brunch, to be honest. The food was meh tasting and too greasy. The ingredients were cheap but the prices were not. They kept getting our order wrong, unfortunately. They brought us someone else's order four times. One of the waiters was rude and made snarky comments. A 20% gratuity was included for a group of 4, despite all of the above.

I've been there at night and had a good time then though. It's much better suited as a bar only than as a bar-restaurant.
