We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything. Again, fine spot if you just wanted to hang out and drink beer.

There are so few restaurants that are actually utilizing beans or trying to do interesting dishes with them, so I really appreciate this! While this is a brewery, the restaurant felt like it also really has prioritized their food to be much more than just bar snacks, along with plenty of non-bar style spaces to talk and eat -- you can easily have a great time here as a non-drinker

The location right up against the Anacostia and across the road from Nats Park is really great. It's a breezy spot, with huge opened walls, which must be great when it's hot, but was dang chilly this evening. We ate just the pretzel and enjoyed the quality mustard and the very good beer cheese. The pretzel itself leaned a bit oily, but we scarfed it down and enjoyed it. Service was pretty good with friendly and helpful bartenders. With Champions League on the TV our seats at the bar were perfect. She Said: I think He summed it up perfectly! Potty Points: 4/5 plenty of stalls, clean enough especially considering the traffic, but I would have liked some paper towels since we came in from a downpour and I was drenched and needed to towel off a little bit.

The bars and restaurants on the main level of this area are always packed - I don't think the masses know about this nice bar quite yet. This outdoor bar overlooks Nats stadium (you can see about 60-70% of the field ); the views are absolutely fantastic, especially on warm weather days. There are 6-10 bar seats at a long bar and another smattering of 6-8ish bar tables scattered on the rooftop. There are also some more unique lounge style seating which really makes the spot seem comfortable and relaxed. There are a couple TVs hung in the bar area which also makes this a great place to catch a football game on Sundays. Their happy hour is everyday from 4-7pm; they offer discounted beer and wine for $7-8 and select discounted cocktails for $10. The service is always quick and the bartenders are warm and friendly. There is a limited food menu, though I'd advise grabbing a bite elsewhere. I've had the food just once; my chicken tenders were pretty flavorless and had a tough texture - won't get those again. Would rather pay a little more for better quality at Nats park. I'll continue to be a frequent visitor - this is the perfect rooftop pregame spot.

Dear reader,…read more Whitlow's at the Wharf is a fantastic addition to the waterfront and an excellent spot when you want good food, drinks, and a lively atmosphere without taking things terribly seriously. The space is huge, with tons of seating, an enormous bar, outdoor areas, and seemingly enough TVs to ensure no sporting event goes unwatched. The food is solid, proper bar fare, with burgers, wings, nachos, and plenty of shareable options. Reviews regularly praise the burgers, nachos, crab dip, and welcoming staff, and the overall vibe is exactly what you want from a bustling neighbourhood watering hole. It can get VERY busy, particularly during games, weekends, and events at The Wharf. Service may understandably slow down a bit when the entire population of Southwest DC appears to have arrived simultaneously, but we have always found the food and atmosphere worth the wait. The waterfront location is another major point in its favour. There are great views, plenty of people-watching, and you are right in the middle of everything happening at The Wharf. It is particularly convenient before or after a show at The Anthem. Overall, Whitlow's is fun, energetic, casual, and reliably enjoyable. Come for a game, grab some drinks and food, embrace the crowd, and settle in. A thoroughly good time.

When asked how everything was (because we didn't see her from the time the food was dropped off until we needed the check) our response was just average. With a giggle her response was " well it is a bar". Hmm. Does being a bar mean not good food? Maybe ask for feedback as to why it was average. Anywho, the fact that we were two of 4 customers in the place should have told us all we needed to know. The burger was small and overcooked. Dry. The onion rings were good. The cheese sticks were what you would expect. So would I go there for a meal again? Definitely not.
