Lounges near Oxon Hill, MD

“I came here for my cousins surprise birthday party there were about 25 of us who came in from different parts of the world me I drove down from NY. I'd like to commend Lydia on being attentive and understanding customer service. She knows hospitality and I appreciate her looking out for us! Couldn't rate the food because we didn't eat. Just ordered 6 bottles!“

“The Belvedere Bar, situated in the lobby of the Gaylord National Resort, is truly the standout among the resort’s many dining and drink options. It has quickly become my favorite spot on the property. The service is consistently prompt and attentive, and the bartenders craft drinks that are both impressively balanced and strong.

A particularly thoughtful feature is their self-serve water station—an excellent convenience, especially given the high volume of guests the resort attracts. It’s a small detail that demonstrates the bar’s commitment to guest comfort and efficiency.

During the holiday season (November and December), the Belvedere Bar offers what is arguably the best seat in the house for viewing the resort’s Christmas tree light show. Enjoying a well-made cocktail while taking in the festive ambiance makes for a truly memorable experience.

Highly recommend stopping by—whether you're staying at the resort or simply visiting, the Belvedere Bar is a must.“

“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Lily as our server! She was attentive, patient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. Lily checked on us frequently, ensuring we were enjoying each part of our meal and addressing any needs right away. Her warm personality and professionalism made the experience even better. We’ll definitely be back soon, hoping to have her as our server again.“

“Fantastic hidden gem just off Dupont Circle. Three distinct levels: a dark, cozy speakeasy downstairs, a stylish Italian restaurant on the main floor, and a warm, inviting wine bar upstairs. Bartenders Mina and Lauren are smart, fun, and exceptional at what they do—great conversation, even better drinks. My girlfriend and I will definitely be making this a regular stop.“

“Great vibes and music here!!!😎“

“Highly recommended.. love it“

“Very nice staff and delicious food.“

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊“

“Love this place. Great bar“

“We had a great overall stay and really enjoyed our time at the hotel. The location was excellent—very convenient and within walking distance to many of the museums and main attractions, which made getting around with our family incredibly easy.

The hotel itself is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. That said, our room did feel a bit cramped for a family of four, and we found the lighting to be somewhat limited. The bed was also softer than we prefer, which made it a little less comfortable for us.

We did have an issue where some of our laundry was accidentally taken by housekeeping, likely mistaken for trash. While that was frustrating, the hotel staff was responsive and helpful in addressing the situation, which we appreciated.

On a positive note, the café was fantastic—both the food and drinks were excellent and something we looked forward to during our stay. We also really enjoyed meeting Garnet (“Mr. DC”), who was friendly, engaging, and added a special touch to our experience.

Overall, despite a few minor issues, we had a very good stay and would consider returning, especially for the location and service.“

“Great place to enjoy with friends“

“definitely recommend this establishment. the food is great, the workers are awesome. it's a great place to have any kind of celebration as well. it's a really fun atmosphere!!“

“I had the absolute best experience at my birthday brunch thanks to our amazing waiter, Pablo! He went above and beyond to make the day feel extra special — from his kind attitude to his incredible attention to detail. He was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcomed and celebrated. I truly appreciate the great service, and I highly recommend anyone dining here to ask for Pablo if you can. He really made the whole experience unforgettable!“

“Best brunch option! Menu has all the favorites to please any appetite. Excellent bloody mary's and coffee. We had a great table right in the front windows and enjoyed some people watching. The staff never rushed us, we sat for hours talking and eating. Fairly spendy (~ &60/ea including tip: shared app, entree, coffee, bloody mary, shared dessert) but very worth it.“

“Beautiful Venue, Good brunch, Great Staff Gabi was super helpful. Plan to come back and do some more photography.“

“When you think of a speakeasy… this place looks like what comes to mind. Down a flight of stairs leading to oversized doors you find yourself stepping back in time and greeted by a skilled bartender sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for an after dinner drink or to just hang out with friends.“

“FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND I LOVE STEVE AND GEORGINA“

“I came here with some friends for a fun Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed my time! The vibes are great, the music was great, and the food was great too! I tried the beef skewers and the jollof rice. The service could be improved upon. We were left waiting for our waiter for very long periods of time and when my food came, I wasn’t given any silverware or napkins. Overall, I will definitely be back!“

“My wife, mother, and I went here for Christmas and had a great experience. It was a very intimate setting with not a lot of people which I liked. The food was absolutely amazing! We all got the she crab soup as an appetizer and it was delicious! For entrees my wife and I ordered the jambalaya and my mom ordered the blackened salmon. My wife and I loved the jambalaya and my mom said the salmon was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive at the beginning but as more people came in we saw her less and less. She started to forget things that we asked her for towards the end and we would not see her for quite some time. But I give her a bit of grace because it seemed to be only 2 waiters including her and they also seemed to be taking care of the bar as well which is alot! Overall we loved this restaurant and would definitely go back.“

“Great food great drinks great vibe! Loved it“

“Absolutely loved our tea time! Super appreciate them being willing to accommodate my party's dietary restrictions, I was definitely looking for a nice experience that fit my guest's needs and they didn't disappoint. It was also gorgeous inside!“

“After sharing private feedback regarding our experience, I was genuinely impressed by the immediate and thoughtful response from management. Their attention to my celiac disease was exceptional throughout the evening, and the birthday touches were lovely. While the porterhouse did not initially meet expectations due to timing and cook, it was still delicious, and the way management handled the situation demonstrated a true commitment to guest experience.“

“Great laid back BLACK culture spot with food and beverages that you will continue to return for!“

“Don’t trip best bar uptown“

With its elegant decor and comfortable seating, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day in D.C. The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring expertly crafted drinks and a selection of fine wines. The attentive staff provides exceptional service, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere. Whether for a casual meeting or a relaxing evening, the Statler Lounge is a delightful retreat that enhances any visit.“

“Recently my wife and I popped into this spot for a birthday event, it's a cool place! It's got an amazing vibe.
Think of your favorite chill spot or dive bar, but with an upscale esthetic better. The food was Delicious!. Definitely more than what i expected. Prices are what you'd expect for a place in the city, but it's totally worth it for the quality and experience. The mix drinks were impressive. The staff were super acoomodating and friendly. The place is also decked out nicely, it has a relaxed yet kinda fancy feel. It's not super spacious, but that's part of its charm. Its a friendly dive bar vibe with class. Seriously, if you're looking to hang out, celebrate, or just grab a a drink and chill this is your spot. I'd definitely recommend swinging by, especially if you're looking to host a little get together. Or just want to catch the game.
Trust me, it's worth checking out!"“

“I recently dined at Space DC Restaurant & Lounge, and I must say their exceptional customer care truly stood out. As someone with a severe allergy, dining out can often be a stressful experience. However, the staff at Space went above and beyond to ensure my meal was not only safe but thoroughly enjoyable.

Upon informing the bartender, Josue Vasquez, about my allergy, he immediately reassured me and took detailed notes to communicate with the chef, Marcel Che, and Sous Chef, James Jones. What really impressed me was their proactive approach: Chef Che personally came out to discuss my dietary restrictions and preferences. On hand, there was not such an enhancement for my dish so they crafted a special dipping sauce on the spot, ensuring it was free from any allergens and tailored to my taste.

The attention to detail and genuine concern for my well-being made the entire dining experience incredibly comfortable and pleasant. The food was delicious, and knowing that it was prepared with such care made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Space to anyone seeking not just great food but also a restaurant that truly values and prioritizes its customers' needs.

Overall, Space exceeded my expectations, and I will certainly be returning soon. Their dedication to customer care and safety is unparalleled, making it a standout choice for anyone with dietary concerns.“

“Great place and great staff!“

The lounge's unique cocktail menu and expertly crafted drinks made for a fantastic evening. Cozy atmosphere and great service. Impeccable service, delicious small plates, and a stylish vibe. Perfect spot to relax and unwind. The lounge's live music added a fantastic touch to the evening.Would highly recommend this spot to friends and family. Excellent experience all around. The staff's attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly sets this place apart. A must-visit destination for anyone looking for a great night out. Can't wait to return. Security very professional and well trained.“

“Nice place!! I had a great time!
Great place to dance and have drinks. The DJ plays good music,some days they have live music ,it has a great atmosphere with a nice crowd.
We went after dinner, and next time I'll try the restaurant's food, which looks amazing. Leo, the manager, is very attentive and, above all, great.
Go dance and have fun!“

“So much great and yummy cuisines to savor....Varieties of exotic drinks. Wines, spirits, etl.👌“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“Vola’s has always been one of my favorite restaurants in Old Town Alexandria. Food and drinks are always fabulous. But the team and leadership is excellent. One of the managers, Phil, ensured that the requested tv channel was on and continued to check in to make sure our meals and drinks were tasty. I made the mistake of forgetting my leftovers, and we went back and explained what happened. Phil made sure to take care of the situation and provided me the meal that i had. THANK YOU PHIL! there wee many restaurants who wouldn’t care about a customer mistake, but he went out of his way to set the standards high. Thank you, thank you, thank you!“

“Update 2025:

Sooooo great!!!!! Has only improved since we had to move. New setup is incredible and drinks have surpassed the original menus leaps and bounds! GO HERE!

Sets the bar by which we measure all cocktails. Never disappointed, each menu always multiple amazing options. I can count on my hands the number of times i have got a cocktail someplace else and NOT been totally disappointed in comparison.

Ambience is brilliant, lively but not too loyd. Brilliant date night. Service is always wonderful and light bites are incredible.

Brussel sprouts are the best around and the pork belly is beyond amazing.“

“<3 I always have fun here! The music is great, hookah is good and the food is BOMB!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such an amazing time at Smoke and Mirrors Rooftop! The atmosphere is incredible and the view is absolutely breathtaking and I could literally see the White House from where I was sitting, which made the night feel unforgettable. The space itself is stunning, beautifully designed, and every detail feels elevated. Even the bathrooms stood out and honestly some of the nicest I’ve ever seen anywhere. It’s rare to find a spot that combines a gorgeous view, great vibes, and such attention to detail, but Smoke and Mirrors nails it. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Stopped by Sidecar for an evening snack and drinks. We had the Chicken Flatbread with arugula and BBQ sauce drizzle. The food and drinks were better than average, but a little on the high end for what you get. If TripAdvisor had a "Better-Than-Average" rating, I would have given it that.“

“Great place for cocktails“
