This bar is everything you'd appreciate in a sports bar: Large screen playing a featured game in the middle and other games around it. A large bar with full services and tables ( various sizes depending on your party) surrounding it for those desiring to sit closer to the screens and action A full area for social activities and board games Amazing chicken wings! Fried hard while juicy and full of flavor Delicious humus, definitely shareable Great wine selections! Excellent cocktails Low prices! What's not to love about something this great! read more

This is a sports bar with a fun vibe and ambiance. It's a lovely spot and has plenty of space and games (giant jenga!). The food was large portions but pretty standard bar food. The nachos had a decent amount of toppings and the pretzel was fine. The service was quick and efficient. The wine was pretty good (liked the Chardonnay). I would come back for drinks and apps. read more

This was my first time at the National Harbor and I live only 13 minutes away. My friend recommended we meet here for a quick bite and drinks while catching up. I'm glad he met me at the front because I would have been lost trying to get there. The restaurant was huge with plenty of seating. Once we sat near the TVs, our server Lorena greeted us with menus and some water. She took the time to recommend drink and food options to try. I tried the lagoon margarita and crab cake sliders. The margarita was refreshing and the sliders were filled with crab meat and the slaw added a nice crunch. My friend had a Miller light and hummus. For $20, I was not a fan of the hummus since it was very bland. Our server Lorena was very attentive and constantly checked on us. I noticed she was from El Salvador from her name tag and her her I just visited the country. After a brief chat, we thanked her for a great night. I'd definitely return again and request to sit with her. read more

It took us several circles around the area searching for seats before we were able to find somewhere to sit. It's a "Fend for yourself" seating scheme. The food was good. We had no complaints about the food as it was "bar-type" food. The burgers, wings and fries were all flavorful. It took quite a while before we could order. The whole concept is quite difficult to deal with during the holiday season but we did it. Once we were waited on, the wait staff were all very friendly and helpful. read more

I had so much hope be said this was in the Gaylord. Our waitress was great I have zero complaints. However the taco salad was a bit frozen. I asked for no meat and they still sent it out with chicken. Then when it was plain it was frozen. Not fresh at all. The ambiance was decent. They had bowling, darts and a few other game options with some large TVs to watch sports. Probably won't be back but it's a decent option. read more

Not a bad place inside the Gaylord DC atrium floor level. Free to play darts, foosball, and bocce ball. Great place to hang out. Relaxed casual place to eat with large group of friends. People seem to be having a good time. Kind of surreal when this place gets taken over by spelling bee kids, staff, and spellebrities...but I hear next year the bee is somewhere else. read more

Great food, lots of games, popular place. . Harbor Social at National Harbor is a very cool and fun restaurant located on the lower level of the Gaylord National Resort atrium. It has a lively atmosphere and is a great spot if you are visiting with a large group or family, especially if you enjoy games or watching sports. The restaurant offers many games, including cornhole and bowling, which makes it more than just a place to eat and helps keep everyone entertained. When we visited, it was very busy, and because of that, the service was a bit slow, which is something to keep in mind if you are on a tight schedule. One highlight of our visit was the $110 family meal deal, which came with two orders of fries, six sliders, six crab cakes, and wings. It was a great value for the amount of food, and I highly recommend it for groups. The food overall was excellent and well prepared, and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. While the crowds made things a little hectic, I think on a less busy day this would be an even better experience. I would gladly come back to Harbor Social again when it is not as crowded. read more

Located on the atrium floor of the Gaylord hotel Harbor Social is the perfect place to grab a drink, a seat and watch the premier game of the day. Last night it was a bit chaotic as I believe there was a cheerleading convention happening at the hotel. There was bowling available as well as another game off to the far right of the restaurant but I couldn't tell what it was because of all the kids. For bowling you have to make a reservation and the other game was first come first serve. The tables are located in front of two wall sized TVs which is cool for but limited if you wanted to come on a Sunday and catch multiple games. Not sure what the bar had to offer but I'm sure it was more variety there. Tables are self serviced so locking down one can be a bit tricky if you're not the aggressive type. Being serviced is even trickier. Our group consisted of roughly 11 people ordering at random so I can't even fault the waitress too much for being in and out. I wish I could remember her name because she really did try her best. Gratuity is tacked on once your party exceeds 5 so keep that in mind. We had a round of shots and I got the West Wings which were a dry rub and were really good and about the most adorable thing on the menu which is 12/$16. If I were in the area and needed somewhere to watch a game I probably would opt for Tom's watch bar instead. Parking at the harbor is terrible so be prepared to pay $20 at minimum if you're there for 3hrs or more. read more

We connected with another family for an event at the Gaylord in National Harbor and took all the kids (4) to Harbor Social to get something to eat and play some games. The kids got chicken tenders and fries which went over well for them. For the adults we shared the sliders, guacamole and chips, and some truffle fries. Since I was not that hungry I just sampled the guacamole and chips which was good. There were a number of games there including air hockey, pool, darts, cornhole, bocce ball and duckpin bowling. The bowling cost extra but the others were free (you just need to check in with the gamemaster). My oldest (11) and I played a couple rounds of darts then we joined the rest of the crew for bowling. Overall I thought it was a great family spot as there was something there for everyone (including the big screen TVs which had live sports). read more

TLDR; decently priced wings, sub-par sliders Harbor Social is a restaurant opened only during the evenings/night at the Gaylord National Resort Hotel. They pretty much just serve two things: wings and sliders. I got the buffalo wings and the OG slider. The buffalo wings was well priced ($15 for a dozen which is even better considering this is inside a resort hotel) and was well sauced, but was quite salty. The sliders were not good -- the buns were not toasted, the meat patty was smaller than the bun (these buns are hawaiian-roll sized), and were lacking in flavor (for both salt and sauce). They have some local beer though that was nice, and the servers and ambiance was lively. A fun place to be for sure, but the sliders were disappointing. read more

Fun place to watch a game...or play a game...or just enjoy a drink. We were staying at the Gaylord and wanted a nightcap before retiring to the room for the evening. The bartenders were great, the atmosphere was social, and they can make some amazing drinks! I forget what their "specialty drink" was, but they were making a vat of it right next to us and let us have a taste.....and it was amazing! The folks that work here pretty obviously enjoy their job, and it shows. If you go and you drink liquor, try the house special. These guys know what they're doing! read more

The restaurant is fine but we walked in and sat at the bar. Unfortunately we had someone under 21 with us but we already ordered drinks. So we tried to move to another section and were told we had to order food with that server or leave. I was like ...where are we supposed to go? We already got drinks? So service could use significant improvement. read more

Harbor Social is basically the place to be, well, social if you don't feel like venturing out from the resort. This place has a bit of everything to keep you busy if you feel inclined. It is located in the atrium area of the hotel. It basically has an open air format. Even though you are under the glass, it still feels like you are outside. Given that the atrium area feels like an outdoor plaza. People come and go with the being a main throughfare to bypass. You can dip in and enjoy yourself a drink or small bite to eat. I can't speak on the food as I didn't ever come here to eat, but what I can tell you is that the prices are a bit high for the amount of food you are ordering. I suppose if you have a few drinks, you don't mind the cost of a quick bite. To note, if you check in and stay with the hotel, you will get a voucher for a free adult beverage here. Dependent on the night you can get a pretty good house cocktail. They have a few beers on tap, bottles, and full bar capability. What is enticing about this place are the activities that can help you pass the night. They have duckpin bowling, bocce, darts, billiards, and maybe a few other things that I cannot think of off the top of my head at the moment. I did notice that they do have a particular night where duckpin bowling as the activity for the night. Any other night, it appears that the lanes are not open for use? Staff here are great. They were on their game. They were able to describe the house cocktails easily and make suggestions if you were on the fence. Overall, it was a nice asset to have on premise. You could easily wind down your day here. read more

During a visit to the Gaylord for the Music and Games Festival, we found ourselves eating at Harbor Social. Newly renovated to be self-seated, we sat at some open spots at the bar. Menu is simple to understand, and the food decent for being hotel fast bar food faire. We had to grab the attention of the bartender ourselves, which I'm honestly not bothered by - just mentioning it in the event someone waits a long time to be served. They were able to make me a pineapple juice seltzer with lime, which was great! Overall, not a bad experience! read more

Harbor Social is located on the lower level of Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. This place is modern and spacious with great food & drinks, TVs throughout, and interactive games like duckpin bowling & bocce ball. Since I was staying in the hotel, my key envelope included a voucher for 2 free beers/wine or cocktail of the day. The cocktail of the day was the Lagoon Bay Margarita. I ordered a glass of Rose and Prosecco. Though it was a welcome drink, it was a good pour and it tasted really good. The next night, my coworkers and I went to Harbor Social again and I ordered a glass of the rose. The pour this time was lighter than the night before. My colleagues had their fries and they said it was good. Service was a little slower the second night. They seemed to be pretty busy. Either way, Harbor Social is such a great place to hangout. read more

Not good. Flavorless food. I'm not sure how you make queso flavorless but you did. The burger was dry and tastes like it was sitting around. The Ahi tuna was devoid of any spice. Even the Caesar salad was flavorless. The only positive were the dry rubbed wings. Do not recommend. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my food, drinks & experience at Harbor Social! As you enter, there's a 'game master' & LeRoy was the designated game master for this particular Friday evening. He was super kind, fun & welcoming. I sat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned from my bartender & server of the evening, Dieter, who was super attentive and makes one heck of a good old fashioned (pictured). For food, I was debating between the Politician & the Harbor Social Wing It wings (also pictured). I decided to go with the wings & did NOT regret my decision one bit. They were cooked perfectly, but if you don't like spicy, choose something else, because they are spicyyyyy ! As far as the environment, I arrived around 8:45pm & stayed past 9:45pm & it was cool, pretty chill for the most part - there's free games like bowling & darts. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for sure!! read more

Harbor Social is a sports and games bar at The Gaylord in the National Harbor. We stayed at the Gaylord and there was a free drinks or fruit offer that we wanted to take advantage of. We had our dinner, so really were looking for glasses or wine. This place was lively on a Saturday night! People galore...at the bar, the bistro seating, the games area, and even the duckpin lane they have there. It was quite chaotic in there; the bar was packed and the tables and counters were dirty. After walking around the place once, we noticed two seats at the bar. The bartender was nice, cleaned off the space, and then took our order quickly. Menu didn't look too great, but I will say the buffalo wings were surprisingly good. They were crispy outside and tender inside, and the sauce had a nice zing! And they did honor the drink coupons without hesitation. So overall it was not a bad visit. Would we go back? Not unless we stayed at Gaylord and probably just for the wings. read more

We still can't believe we were given plastic utensils at a restaurant at the Gaylord! We ordered wings as an appetizer. For dinner, we ordered (2) 2 piece social sliders, 1 order of fries, 1 domestic draft beer, and 1 glass of wine. The total was $96 (includes tip). Who would ever think you'd spend nearly $100 for bar bites ! The food was average. The atmosphere was good. If you're staying at the Gaylord, this place is convenient. All in all, it's a sports bar with average food. read more

I came here during the Gartner Risk and Security conference. I am local to DC and had never heard of this place. The atmosphere is dope as they have mini bowling, pool, shuffleboard, bocce and the fun drink swinging game. Music was good. Sever was extremely nice. Food is limited, but sliders were all awesome. They did make 2 drink mistakes of Whiskey vs Rum base and fireball vs makers mark but they were able to correct that. The only negative which is natural for DC is that it was a bit over priced. 13$ for a basket of fries is a bitch much. Drinks werw ~15-19 each. But I'll likely come back with friends as overall it's a good experience. read more

Sat at the bar and had a beer waiting on my family. They have some games that I believe are free but hard to reserve. Pretty loud on a Friday night but not overly unusual for the type of place. Would be a loud conversation but still doable. Bartender was nice but took over 10 minutes to get a drink. Just not enough bartenders for the amount of patrons they had. Again not his fault but Marriott needs to hire more help, probably. Did not try the food but it looked typical bar type. You will also pay hotel prices for everything so be prepared. Nice enough spot but 3 stars for the service. read more

The food was really good and drinks were too. The ambiance was nice and the staff were on point. Def coming back!

I never write reviews but what a DISASTER. First of all, the waitresses couldn't have been nicer and the atmosphere was decent. BUT the "game master" at the front desk might be the most unprofessional host I've ever talked to. We walked in to bowl but were unfortunately told that there were "no more reservations available and they are understaffed", disappointing but we understood. I made sure to clarify after scanning the reservation QR code asking, "just making sure we don't need to fill this out" and he replied "there are no more reservations, no more bowling tonight etc". We were told we could go play any other available games for free but our great waitress explained that there actually is room for us to play and escorted us to our lanes. The game master interrupted us and other groups repeatedly to "coach" and observe and poke fun at other patrons but none of it landed. He also ran through the "rules" for us and never mentioned any other guidelines or pricing. Only that "you have 75 mins and these are your lanes, enjoy!" which implies it was like the many other first come first serve games around the facility. Our 1 hr 15 min game ends and we are brought a bill for $175.......so one of our fellow guests goes to speak with the "game master" and inquire about this steep price that was not mentioned in the many times we tried to schedule bowling and he started cursing, pacing, and saying "I think you need help hearing......that's not what I said.......you all turned away from me and didn't let me explain (he sent us to go play pool and we left by his direction)" An absolute master class in bad customer service. For the record, we had no issue paying of course and we were prepared to when we decided to come here. But the pricing was never explained at all and we were just kind of ushered around and not told how the system or reservations work. To be loudly gaslit in front of our party and other patrons was disrespectful and unbelievable. This is a nice facility and we were eager to become regulars but the man at the front desk has now driven many people away from the business for good. I feel awful for all of the other customers that have had to interact with him and for all of the employees that have to work in his vicinity. If the Game Master has 100 haters, I'm one of them. If the Game Master has 10 haters, I'm one of them. If the Game Master has 1 hater, it's me. If the Game Master has no haters, I'm dead. read more

Unfortunately after a few good experiences, our last night at the Gaylord Marriot, we had a bad experience at the Harbor Social. We had an inept bartender who cut us off abruptly. I would understand if we were obnoxious but we had no reason given. I talked to Eric (manager) about why we were cut off , but he just said it was discretionary. So As Marriott ambassador members we will be taking our business elsewhere. I still tipped accordingly but Eric please evaluate the bartender with the Jamaican accent. He is inept, rude, and customer unfriendly. So glad my wife got me out of there before I had words w him read more

The Gaylord is a few steps away from my crib, so I was excited to hear that we had another cool spot in the neighborhood to hang out and have a good time. The pandemic was more damming for some than others. The huge sports bar that previously occupied this space (National Pastime) didn't survive so here comes Harbor Social! Aesthetically, Harbor Social couldn't be better looking for a sports /game lounge. Everything is free minus the duck pin bowling.. Duck Pin? WTH. Lol. I digress :( The bar is obscenely large, surrounded by several flat screens.. So if you want to just drink and catch a game.. This is the SPOT! If you noticed, I just said DRINK because I would highly recommend against you coming to Harbor Social if you're hungry. To say that the food menu is limited would be an understatement! I've never heard of a sports/gaming lounge that doesn't offer wings, chicken fingers or even a full size burger. They basically have scaled down their menu to sliders and a few overpriced apps, for example (crab dip $24)...Again..WTH!! Because it's a short walk for me, I will come to shoot a lil pool and people watch. Trust and believe, I will stop on the way to one of the many restaurants National Harbor has to offer to get my belly full first.. Lol!! read more
