We had such a fun time at K Live Karaoke at The Wharf!…read more We booked one of the small rooms, which is supposed to accommodate up to 10 people. There were six of us, and I'd say that was the perfect number to be comfortable. You could fit 10, but it would definitely be a little cramped. We ordered several different food items and drinks, and everything I had was good. The food did take a while to come out after we ordered, but honestly, we were having so much fun singing and enjoying ourselves that it didn't bother us too much. My only other small complaint was the song-search keyboard. Instead of a standard QWERTY keyboard, the letters are arranged alphabetically, which made searching for songs a little challenging at first. That said, there were PLENTY of songs to choose from across all different genres, so everyone was able to find something they wanted to sing. The best indication of how much fun we had? We ended up extending our time because nobody was ready to leave! Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend K Live Karaoke for a fun night out with friends. I'd absolutely go back!

The server was great with explaining everything and checking up on everyone. I do wish the 2 hours started at the time of check in because we checked in within the 15 minute grace period, which cut our time off a little short. The keyboard to type is also a bit strange as it's in alphabetical order instead of the standard keyboard. Overall, it's nice in here with the lights and you can tell everything is new.

I was with a large group so the staff was accommodating to our party size since it was a last minute event venue change. I ordered the fried calamari and a glass of wine. I was confused at first because the calamari looked like onion rings. Lol However it was definitely squid. It tasted a bit weird and unfortunately my tummy was upset the next day. Aside from that the prices on the menu were very reasonable for a bar. The staff was super generous to my large party and the venue has a chill vibe. I'd come again to try HH but will just avoid the seafood to be safe.

The only service I received was from ordering from the bartender where you have to stand because there are no seats at the bar. My complaint, the cost of beer is overpriced. I had two beers at $10 each and I was charged $26 total. I recommend being mindful of your receipt because they automatically add a 20% Service Charge and 10% Tax, making it $13 all-in per beer, hence $26 for two. So there's no need to leave an extra tip when you pay your tab, unless you want to give away more of your money. Since they're inflating the price by charging 7 times the actual cost, or a 600% mark-up, I won't return.

4.5 stars. Overall,…read morethis is a really great place to see a show. I came to see Flawed Mangoes and for the most part it was a great time. The venue is like a really clean dive bar that hosts live music. The staff were all very polite and incredibly welcoming. To be situated at the Wharf, the food and beverages were surprisingly affordable... at least by DC standards. The general admission tickets are for standing only. I paid for premium seating and got, well... an actual seat. Unfortunately, this is where I ran into issues. I really wish that Union Stage would offer more smaller tables (1-2 tops) because I had the unfortunate experience of being forced to involuntarily third-wheel some random couple's date night. As someone who frequently attends concerts alone, I hate communal seating. If I'm paying extra for a seat, I don't want to spend the evening sharing a table with strangers. In this case, the couple who joined me at my table spent much of the show carrying on conversations, using flash photography despite it being prohibited, and generally making themselves unwelcome part of my concert experience. It was distracting, annoying, and made it difficult to fully enjoy the performance. Adding more 1-2 top tables for solo concertgoers or couples would significantly improve the premium seating experience by giving people the option to enjoy the show uninterrupted and with the company they actually chose (and paid!) to spend the evening with. It's also worth noting that there is no wait staff to serve you at the tables. So if you grab a seat at a table, make sure you have something to put on the table to indicate that it is occupied. There are QR codes on the table where you can order and pay, but you still have to go to the floor to pick up your food. I got a half cheese pizza and an Aperol Spritz. The pizza was good by dive bar standards. Nothing special about it, but it hit the spot. The Aperol Spritz was also surprisingly good. The sound system is great. However, we need to talk about the lighting situation. I'm not sure if this is how Union Stage typically operates or if this is something that can be attributed to the artist, but the lighting choices for this concert were overwhelming. I've been to dozens of concerts over the course of my life, but I've never had spotlights that repeatedly point directly into the audience, but that was my experience throughout this entire show. I had to put on my sunglasses in this dark venue to keep myself from being quite literally blinded by the light. The background lights and everything were fine, but repeatedly shining spotlights into the crowd was not a good choice. The most expensive part of this night, by far, was the parking, which is not the fault of the venue. I paid $38 to park for 4 hours, but fortunately it was a very short walk to the venue. There are multiple parking garages as well as an extremely limited amount of street parking near this venue. The garage was the only feasible option that evening since so many people were out for the concert, viewing the World Cup, as well as attending events at other bars and restaurants in the general area. All told, I had a really great time at Union Stage. While I hate traveling into DC and I'm not keen on spending $40 on parking, if there's another artist performing at this venue that I want to see, I would definitely come back.

The sound system probably needs an upgrade prior to artist coming on stage the music being played was not really audible and didn't carry any thing to the crowd. The merch table being by the entrance caused more congestion. 3. For the seated area unlike what's displayed on the ticket sites they are in the back not the front not a big deal I prefer standing but could disappoint those who pay the premium price for those. Staff are really nice and friendly and prices are more then fair on drinks and food.

I brought my cousin and he remembered from the previous time that I performed there that the food was good and we're both kind of picky. Jose, the bartender was excellent all weekend. I ordered some wings and I asked him what flavor he recommends and he said old Bay, which I can't remember if that was even on the menu but they were outstanding. I don't always love breaded wings, but they were not heavily breaded and I am originally from Virginia so I'm very familiar with old Bay. I was actually a little nervous they were gonna go kind of strong on it to appeal to people that are out of town or just wanna hype up the whole old bay crab seasoning and it wasn't that at all. It was a great recipe. The next night, I got the burger and it was also excellent. Also, in terms of comedy, the comedy loft is on point. Most people don't know how much the size and the shape of the room matter but it makes a huge difference if you have low ceilings. I think that plus the brick walls just capture all the laughter and I've done shows in there that had 12 people and I've done full rooms and either way it feels explosive in there when people laugh. Anyhow, highly recommend it both for guest and comics! Thanks for a great weekend! Jeff Kane

The wings and truffle fries were almost $20 each - the exact same price as all the burgers. They only have canned cocktails and the selection is also very limited. I believe only 3 types of canned cocktails are available. There's a beer and wine menu but I'm not sure how exhaustive it is. Our food also took forever to arrive, long after the show started and we ordered about 20+ minutes before the show started. The seating is inconvenient and narrow, and tables and floors are sticky. I'm only giving it 3 stars because my cheeseburger was good and the patty was thick. I would come back for the comedy show probably but not get food or drinks. You're probably better off just getting soda for the two item minimum. I couldn't take any pictures since our food came late after the show had already started and we weren't allowed to take any pictures during the show.

There's plenty of room to dance and the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. There are only 2 negative comments... 1. If you're from out of town, you have to know that gratuity is already included on every check. The bartenders won't tell you, so you just have to know that if you want, you can definitely tip additional but it is included already. 2. During the winter event, there was no propane in any of the propane heaters and the outside area was very cold, so bring your coat if you go to a winter show there. It is a great place for live music!
