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.“

“Great vibes and music here!!!😎“

“I worked with Nero to host my company’s holiday party and it was so great working with them! The food was delicious and they have a fully stocked bar with great drinks. The owner and manager were very accommodating and made the night so easy and stress free. I would definitely host an event here again or come back for a happy hour.“

“Highly recommended.. love it“

“Very nice staff and delicious food.“

“Bottom line up front, Cranes is a MUST for DC’s Winter Restaurant Week! From the hostess's accommodation of our late arrival, friendly greeting, and front door coat check to our waiter’s, Elmer, and wait staff’s attentive service throughout our visit, Cranes was superb! The Faux-jito, Squash Hummus, Ramen, and Iberico Pork Fried Rice were fantastic! When there was a problem with our bill, it was quickly resolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!!!“

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

“Love this place. Great bar“

“I hosted my wedding reception at Riggs in October and was absolutely floored by the level of service, kindness, and professionalism of everyone. The valet employees were exceptional - especially Coach. They went above and beyond for us and all of our guests to make such a smooth transition anytime we came in or exited the hotel. I also had the pleasure of working with Karen & Brittany on the event side and cannot say enough good things! Karen started our journey into wedding planning and Brittany absolutely crushed handling the rest and it was so appreciated! Brittany was so down to earth and she put my Type A mind at ease that she had it all under control at all times and it was life saving! Not only was the staff amazing but the hotel is stunning, cafe riggs has the best cocktails and overall we couldn't have asked for anything more. We still get comments about how insane our wedding dinner and desserts/cake were. Truly couldn't recommend Riggs more for your wedding or any special occasion! We can't wait to celebrate our anniversary here in the coming year just to relive the day and exceptional 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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The Number #1 highlight is Granny and the Boys. Number # 2 is the Bartenders. #3 The Showtime Crowd.“

“Don’t trip best bar uptown“

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.“

The food? Impeccable. Every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful, fresh, and served hot. Whether you’re craving something savory or want to explore their drink menu, they deliver every single time. Their cocktails are strong, well-balanced, and beautifully presented.

But what really sets Mason apart is the vibe. The music, the crowd, the lighting—everything feels intentional and elevated.

Whether you're looking to chill during the day or party into the night, DNA Social House has got you covered.

The hookah here is top-notch, easily the best in town. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and the quality is consistently excellent. Paired with their fantastic food menu, it makes for an unbeatable combination.

After an exhilarating time at DNA Social House, I like to wind down at home with some quality weed from Pullupdeliveries. Their selection is always impressive, and I’ve found that Super Lemon Haze is my go-to strain for a perfect nightcap. It’s an excellent way to relax and extend the good vibes after a fun night out.“

“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.“

“Everything from the moment we arrived was perfection. Our waiter, Oliver, was terrific, allowing us to 'customize' our orders. We lingered for a long time, and were never pressured to leave. After we left, I realized I left my parking ticket on the table, when I came back, Oliver to the rescue, he noticed it was left there, and put it on the side. I will be back, food was delicious, and the whole vibe of the restaurant was fantastic!“

“<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“

“Great place to meet friends for a drink!“
