    This place is amazing. The service is so personable. Please ask for Woini or Erica who are so kind and a delight too. Also it is great for big groups. The food is cool but those drinks are so good. Bring friends and. A big group for great drinks.

    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!

    Super cute fun spot! It's in the Gaylord hotel and has a cute little atrium right out side the restaurant. The restaurant has bowling lanes and two fun table games (the table games are free). We stopped in for drinks, for the cucumber refresh and it was delicious!

    Nachos

    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.

    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.

    We come here pretty much when it's time to go to ICE! It's starting to feel like a DMV tradition. They always have a holiday themed menu and we start our night off with pre-event drinks. You can't go wrong stopping here for a cocktail.

    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.

    I wanted one of each slider-- they gave me 4. Overpriced but they tasted yummy. Crab cake and bacon cheeseburger.

    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.

    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.

    This was a nice little spot to grab a quick dinner after getting to the hotel. It's definitely a sports bar vibe, but they also have duckpin bowling (not sure what that is) and I think I saw a pool table too. The place has TVs all around, it can get a bit loud, but the food was pretty good overall.

    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.

(We were chagred extra due to us being a large party) I got their gumbo and their soup of the day, I believe it was like a crab bisque. There was only one server but it wasn't busy so we were able to get our orders in on a timely fashion. I've tried their sweet potato biscuit and I personally didn't like it. Their cornbread biscuit was good though. I was going to get their fried chicken but was told by my peer that their fried chicken was a day old? So she opt out of that and so did I. Other than that their food looked delicious and I wished I tried their Mac and cheese cause my peers said it was delicious. Their portions are huge. They don't like likey they are but it's a lot of food.

Collard greens were good. Mashed potatoes were alright. Misto Margarita. Refreshing. You can taste the blackberries on the back end Friend got the Fried Chicken (3 pieces). That came with mashed potatoes and gravy, a small side of cole slaw and he subbed for a cornbread, that was sweet and he loved! Friend got the Black Manhattan. This tasted good. He said it was one of the best he's had We shared the Macaroni, which was enough for 3 people. It was not good hot, but as it sat on my plate after a few minutes, it was really good! Menu is described as Southern food. My friend said it's definitely "Virginia southern" LOL We sat in a comfy booth There is a bar Side street/neighborhood parking

    I wish I could give stars for customer service separate from the food…read more Starting with the food and drinks first. We ordered their wings, Caesar salad and fish sandwich. The food came out piping hot which is always a plus for me. The wings although we ordered well done were slimy and wet (two things that make my stomach queasy) the fries hand cut but think thicker were great sprinkled in paprika, Cajun seasoning and parsley. Caesar salad dressing with tasty but the salad was just blah would have e loved to have seen some homemade croutons on it. Now for the fish which I am upset I don't want to patronize because I loved the fish, it was a huge piece of flounder, meaty and seasoned and fried to perfection with an excellent crunch. For drinks we had their version of a Long Island and French 75. Now I am on a hunt for this quality of fish sandwich with friendlier and faster service. Now for the customer service. Our waiter was not too blame she was sweet and you could tell with every issue she had to get permission from the manager on how to resolve. This right away shows a lack in empowerment and trust in employees. Our food arrived before our drinks from the bar (this was the first issue). Nothing was comped and no apologies. The bartender was an older lady who looked like she was extremely meticulous about her bar but that did not equate to prompt service. The bar wasn't busy so that didn't play a factor with only 3 people sitting at the bar and many open tables. My partner ordered another drink which came 12 minutes later but was the wrong drink. When he brought this up to our waiter she said she had to get permission from a manager to see if she could remove it. Why is that even a question who's paying for something they didn't order???? She returned and told my partner she would comp the drink and go throw it away. How are you comping us for something we never ordered and instead of trashing it just keep it at our table. She then came with the correct drink and we asked for the bill. On the bill she had still charged gratuity for the drink that was returned. After back and forth the manager came over to say they couldn't remove the gratuity as the system automatically does this. We will not return due to the service alone as there are places with better service, with the same quality of food for a friendlier price tag.
