About Whitlow's on U Street

Whitlow's on U Street offers solid bar food and drinks in a fun and comfortable environment. The place feels like a hidden gym in DC with warm energy and welcoming staff. Guests can enjoy a range of great choices such as mozzarella sticks, buffalo chicken wrap, chicken caesar wrap, fried chicken sandwich, burger and a 5$ juicy IPA on tap. The bar provides reasonably priced draft side and happy hour discounts. Security at the front door greets guests and the manager apologizes quickly if any issue arises, even buying a round of drinks to make the night better. The waitress checks on guests, describes drinks and happy hour deals, and adds transparent 20% gratuity to all bills automatically. Bathrooms are clean and the staff is friendly on a Saturday early evening. Trivia at 7pm adds extra fun and the venue allows computers for studying at 5pm on a Monday. Customers have praised the delicious wraps, the decent burger and the great mozzarella sticks, though some noted the fried chicken sandwich had too much breading and a hint of cinnamon. Overall the bar is a place where friends can chill, enjoy fresh drinks, and feel better about the evening away from the city. A security guard may grab a tonic water bottle and accuse a guest, but the manager checks the tab and can let the group stay to finish their drinks. The staff stays transparent and friendly even after a rude incident, making the place feel better than a bar.
