Sunset view
My N.

Great place for Date night if you want to catch a view of the sunset. Also, if you stay late enough you can also see the moon from the balcony. I'm taking away 1 star for the food. If you want to come here for the drinks, I would recommend, but make sure you eat first. The food is not great for the prices you're paying for them.

Shan S.

The service, drinks, and views were spectacular! We had a great time here jamming to music after the low key vibes faded away and the night started to pick up. One of the bartenders was an absolute blast and took shots with us. All of the drinks were top notch and delicious.

Checking this place before I hit up Blues Alley. Beautiful views from the roof and the drinks and guacamole was good too. Check this place out. Pretty cool

I was very excited to come here. It has been on my list for months. We popped in here briefly for drinks before dinner. Despite it being cold the place was crowded. Myself and friends got drinks and French fries to tie us over before dinner at another location. The views were good and I can't wait to come back when the weather is nicer. Our bartender Carlos took good care of us and made us shots of tequila, Rose, lime or lemon juice and it was delicious.

This place is off the beaten path a but and easy to miss. It's diagonal from the Nike Store and above the Graham hotel. The place offer views of arlington and Georgetown. Drinks are pretty expensive and there's definitely a premium for the views. We didn't try any food but it seems like a decent date spot to try if youre in the area or just finished shopping.

Gorgeous views of Georgetown, especially at sunset. I recommend going on a warmer day and a bit early as it gets crowded. Never had a drink I didn't like here!

Roosevelt Island cocktail with Bourbon, Vodka, lemon juice, iced tea, mint
Aarti B.

Great cocktails, excellent service, and nice views! The cocktails pack a punch at the rooftop, more boozy drinks than the Alex in the basement. The Roosevelt Island cocktail was spirit forward with bourbon and vodka and a subtle citrus flavor from the lemon juice. The Classic Daiquiri was my pick and a bit sweeter, the sugar and lemon juice help to cut the rum. Hubby really enjoyed the Manhattan, one of the best in the city! The bartenders were friendly, attentive and on point. They made great drinks! The Hummus plate was a miss. I enjoyed the purple carrots and fresh veggies, surprisingly the hummus didn't taste that fresh and the pita crackers weren't crispy and soggy. The skyline views are nice, but most of the tables overlook Arlington - Rosslyn and Pentagon City. There are only a couple of tables overlooking the Potomac River with the Kennedy Center and Washington Monument. I would walk around the deck and see if there's an open table. While other bars like the Vue (formerly POV) and Crimson boast sweeping views of the DC skyline, they are much more pretentious and crowded! The comfy couches are perfect for lounging, there are small tables for 2 and larger sofas for groups. On a Sunday evening, our table of 2 walk-in was welcomed! It wasn't crowded with plenty of space and open tables. No reservations, 1st come 1st service (hotel guests get preference). Skip the basement and head up straight to the rooftop!

Pictured is the Marilyn Monroe spritz with mint. Very refreshing. The service was great. The view was pretty but somewhat blocked by the plastic curtain that surrounded the rooftop.

Came here after dinner to grab drinks and enjoy the views. They currently do not take reservations so it is a first come first serve basis. When we arrived they said there would be a slight wait before a table was ready as a party of 2. It only took about 5 minutes before they got a table for us and we were able to be seated. We ordered the bread pudding for food and I got a peach paradise cocktail. The cocktail was good, very sour but I liked it. The bread pudding was delicious as well. The views were great too. You can see downtown Arlington on one side and if you walk around you can see Kennedy center and a little bit of the Washington monument. It's a great place to come with friends or even date night. There were heaters placed around as well which helped as it got cooler in the night.

This rooftop has a beautiful view of Georgetown!!! The drinks were a 4/5 and the buffalo wings has a lot of flavor and crispy..the decor on the rooftop is super cute and instagram worthy!

Shawn P.

This hotel rooftop bars offers excellent views of M Street. Most cocktails will run you $18-22. The staff were friendly and helpful. Drinks were good but about what you would expect in that price range. The music was a bit too loud for conversation.

Tiger Thai shrimp lettuce wrap not that great

Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

They are fairly new so there was not a real food menu, however the Baklava and ice cream was wonderful. We've been assured of a new food menu next month!! Baba, the owner, really sweet!

From the fascinating history lessons to the thoughtful recommendations, he went above and beyond to make the entire experience feel special. One of the highlights was hearing about Dee's personal favorites, the stories behind how different drinks and dishes made it onto the menu, and even the seasonal ice luges! His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience that much more memorable. Every drink and dish was perfectly paired, and Dee took the time to explain the thought and history behind each one. Even when we were convinced there was no way mezcal could work as a dessert drink, he proved us wrong and somehow made it the perfect ending to the evening! It's rare to find someone who brings so much knowledge, passion, and genuine hospitality to an experience. Dee truly made our night special. We can't wait to come back, especially for the holidays, and bring our friends to experience it for themselves. If you're visiting Code Red, ask for Dee. You won't be disappointed!

It ended up being too hot for us to enjoy outside but the server was nice enough to move our large party indoors without a wait. I ordered the sangria and it was so fruity and refreshing. Where this place falls flat for me is the food. We went for brunch so I'm not sure what their lunch and dinner menu looked like but I had their chicken and waffles. Typically, I'm used to having this dish with just chicken on top of a waffle with a side of syrup that you can pour over. This dish was drenched with a sauce that wasn't syrup but still sort of sweet? It wasn't necessarily *bad*, it's just that I wasn't expecting it. I didn't end up finishing it and my friends weren't impressed with some of the other dishes. I will say though...that Harissa Shrimp? Give me 14 of them.

It took 10 minutes for the bartender to hand me a water and ask what I wanted (though he never gave me a menu). After ordering, no one checked on me until my plates were empty and drink was dry. I ordered the beet salad and truffle fries. The food was good but certainly not worth the price. I'm happy to pay good money but seeing the well done lamb chops beside me, I decided to go with a safe Girl Dinner. I won't be back, even if I need a cute spot for pictures with the girls. This spot isn't worth it, there are too many great places to eat in DC to settle

Online the place looks great and interesting so we decided to hit it up around 9pm because it doesn't close until 2am. So when we walked in the place was pitch black and the vibe was really off. We had to pay $20 a person to enter which at first I was confused because I thought this place was games, bars, music, and vibes...not at all. So we were walking around and the crowd I'll just say wasn't the type I wanted to be around. Only one bar was open and the music was weird. So we decided to leave and when I asked the person who was taking the money what was going on tonight they said an event. Now, this event was not posted anywhere on their website or social media. So I would caution going at night or call beforehand because I don't think I would want to come back because it was nothing like it is portrayed online.
