I would like to give a zero star because their service is so bad and the manager is also bad. We ordered a tito with cranberry juice But the bartender gave us rail drink as i know how does the bottle of tito’s looks like and I asked what did you pour, and as I see he was pouring a totally different bottle. he didn’t want to show the bottle, and they charge 20% of service charge I didn’t even had my drink. Because i want to make sure I am having a drink that I want. Idk what kind of drinks they have. But the bartender was so rude, he was rolling his eyes and even called a security, I just asked what he did he give us. They are just using people when they are tipsy or drunk giving away the drinks they didn’t order and also they might overcharge. The bartender was a hispanic guy with a hat. And also he was so rude accusing me the things I haven’t said. I couldn’t take a photo but this place is using and wasting people’s money and time

It's all about the trivia. Bar Bao has a fun trivia night on Thursday and tables fill up so you need to get here by 6:45 or earlier if you want one of the booths. The happy hour specials are decent but they serve everything in plastic cups. No one wants to drink wine out of a plastic cup. But we do for the trivia. Sushi and dumplings are good for snacks and I do like their brussel sprouts appetizer. There's an outside patio area too which is nicer than the inside IMO. Definitely a fun spot for trivia, maybe happy hour.

New to the area and thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Bao! The Clarendon scene was a bit much for me to take in moving to Virginia from a small town. The food was amazing I highly recommended the bao buns and the short rib nachos! The Bartenders were friendly and the music was great! I went on a Wednesday and I love Bachata. Will be coming back for sure! Thank you Balu for showing my friends and I what Clarendon Nightlife is all about!

Kick you out at 1:30 am when it says they close at 2 am and they are very aggressive about it.

The bar scene at night was an absolute nightmare. Most the bouncers are havingna power trip and are real disrespectful. I would never come back again after the interaction I had a few nights ago. The owners need to watch who they hire because a law suit will be on their way shortly.

Food and service can be better. Their Shisha is a rip off, too expensive and you have to buy a new one if you ask for new charcoal….

Worst service ever experienced. The contact phone number on the website is out of service. There is no way to reach out to the location.

I had a terrible experience during the night hours at Bao Bar that left me feeling disgusted. While enjoying my night ready to head out, a security guard came up to me, grabbed my drink from my hands without saying a single word. When asking why, the guard threw the drink across from me with no explanation or acknowledgment. He continued to conversate with two females and not say one single word to me. To make matters worse, the two females mocked me infront of the security guard. I found this deeply invasive and disrespectful. As a tourist unfamiliar with the venue’s policies, I asked respectfully—and was met with blatant disrespect and humiliation. This behavior, both from the staff and the people around, is completely unacceptable. A simple question should have been met with a simple answer, not dismissal and mockery. This kind of behavior—from both staff and those around—should not be tolerated at any professional establishment. Shame on the security guard and the establishment. 0/25
