I went to Treehouse Rooftop for Cinco de Mayo and the experience was mixed. The food was great, quick to come out after ordering. Flavor was solid all around; the ceviche and brisket bowl were spot on! Now the service was interesting, grace was given because it was a busy day, I mean everyone's coming out for Cinco de Mayo. However it seemed to stemmed more from being understaffed/unprepared for the day versus just poor service. Some patrons mentioned it's the norm but I want to come back when on a regular day. I believe this could become my go to, as it's such a vibe and has a beautiful rooftop, views. read more

We booked this rooftop in hopes for a special 40th bday celebration experience. Unfortunately no communication was provided in advance that our party of 6 would not be would not be accommodated with no resolution. When our party arrived at our time we were told no space was available and there was no timeframe for our party. We talked with manager whose tone was very rude(unprofessional) and he provided no support or resolution. We were told if we waited that potentially they can fit us in however we had to leave our number and no response, communication, or resolution was given. It sad that we entrusted and booked this place weeks in advance for a bday celebration that was poorly managed and highly disappointing. I wish I could give zero stars!!! read more

My childhood friends and I set a goal to get together once a month, and this month's plan was happy hour. Since I'm on a mission to check out every spot in Union Market, I suggested Treehouse Rooftop--and it was a solid choice The happy hour menu isn't huge, but it has some really good options. They offer three tacos: beef, chicken, and cauliflower. The cauliflower taco was hands-down my favorite (thank you to our server for the recommendation!), followed by the beef. The chicken was a bit dry, but overall the food was still enjoyable. For drinks, we all went with the passion fruit margarita--no complaints there My friends tried the birria tacos along with chicken and beef tacos, and everyone was happy with both the food and drinks. Service really stood out. We were the only ones there for the first 20-30 minutes, but even as more people arrived, our server stayed friendly, attentive, and welcoming--always a plus. The rooftop itself is a good size, and when the weather's nice, the outdoor seating adds plenty of extra space. The decor is simple but on-theme and works well for the vibe. Pricing is another win: tacos were under $4 each, and happy hour drinks ranged from $8-$10, which feels very fair for the area (and refreshing when happy hour actually means a deal). Overall, a great spot for happy hour with friends--especially if you're exploring Union Market read more

My friend and I decided to try out Treehouse since we were in the area. I'll start with the positives, my food was actually pretty good. The carne asada tacos hit, and the guacamole was yum although the chips were high seasoned. Our waiter was very patient when taking our orders and attentive. He gets 5 stars! Overall though, I wasn't super impressed. The décor is clearly going for a Tulum vibe, but it felt more basic than expected, maybe TikTok overhyped it a bit. The music selection on our side was lacking, although there are two different sections playing different music, so you can drift between the two depending on the vibe you're looking for. The drink menu is MUCH larger than the food menu, which I found interesting. At the end of the day, it feels like expensive Mexican food with a social media aesthetic. Not sure if I'll return, but I did enjoy trying it out. read more

Meh at best.Came here with girlfriends after an event. Service was solid; they honored our reservation, accommodated our large group, and were patient even though we were late. No complaints there. Totally appreciated that! Food? Forgettable. Chips and guac were way too salty. Carne asada was just okay. Nothing stood out. The decor is trying hard for a Tulum vibe but feels fake. Rooftop views are nice, but the patio was closed because of the cold weather. Music was bad, and there were random people walking around, making the whole place just feel WEIRD!!! Overall, the vibe just wasn't it. Not terrible, just not "my cup of tea". 100% wouldn't return. read more

Nice girls out link up location, customer service exquisite. Thank you for showing your customers that you appreciate them with attentive service and gratitude. Happy hour margaritas were just right, I could have ordered more tacos, but with the two that I did order and the soup I would call it a satisfying meal. Would recommend if you were in the area and looking for a nice location to be able to talk to each other without loud music and not overly priced drink. read more

Excellent spot for happy hour, especially on a day with lovely weather. My friend said happy hour is ALL day on Monday! They accommodated our large group of ~14 people easily on the patio without a reservation. Plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered a passion fruit margarita which was both strong and delicious. The service is not the most attentive but didn't sour our experience. It's a nicely decorated place with a lot of plants and the sunset view on the rooftop patio was great. Also the hotel it's located in seems super swanky. read more

Stopped by when in the area since it was a nice day out. Instantly greeted with a warm smile and menu showcasing happy hour deals. There is indoor seating, a bar, and small rooftop outside. There isn't too much of a view. The interior attempts for a Tulum vibe. Food options were basic for vegetarians. One cauliflower taco on the HH menu. HH pricing was good. $3.50 tacos. Drink specials. Most were dressed very casual, but found it odd to see a random couple walking in with a grocery bag of items and sit on the roof wearing shorts & flip flops. Kinda brought the vibe of the place down. Apparently they are regulars there? I guess it's a mixed bag given it's part of the hotel and can draw all types. Perhaps later in the night it's a fancier feel? Overall maybe ok for a quick drink, but not a place I'd dress up for and wait in line. read more

Came for an industry happy hour which led to evening dinner and a quick nightcap. Watching the sunset over noma was breathtaking. The space is on the roof of the ground floor hotel space, with the entrance and elevator access being of the side parking and not exclusively New York Ave. The tacos and guacamole were so fresh and tasty and the drinks were just as refreshing. Our group was a bit large so the bartender took awhile fulfilling drink orders, but the kitchen staff was fast and the servers very attentive. Great evening ambiance read more

I thought this venue was pretty cute! I enjoyed being in this space, and it was not as noisy as I expected. I went here for a private event, so I cannot judge the service fairly. But things were just okay in my opinion. I tried some food and cocktail, and I thought they were just alright. I'm glad to try as this place was on my bucket list for the longest time. I wouldn't rush coming back anytime soon, but I would be open to try again. read more

It is a great spot, a bit conspicuous and with a decent view as a rooftop although it has no view of capital or anything like that. Good spot to see sunset. 1. Reservation: necessary. They are busy. 2. Drinks: very good, delicious drinks and comes out fast 3. Food: tacos were amazing. All types were great 4. Ambience: chill yet upscale. All in all, highly recommend this place. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with my experience at the Treehouse Rooftop. We were staying at Hotel Nell and received a drink voucher so we decided to check it out. Everything was on point. We sat at the bar had margarita and some of the best tacos ever. I'm not exaggerating. These tacos were a 10/10. They come in orders of 3 and are your typical street style taco, 2-3 bites. The Mahi were my favorites followed by the chicken. They ran out of the carne asada ones. I bet those were yummy too. My least favorite were the Birria, but they were still tasty. I only wish they had a homemade hot sauce. Street tacos usually come with a salsa verde type sauce and something spicy. We had to settle for Tabasco and Cholula. Can't wait to check them out when the weather nice and the outdoor patio is open. High five to our bartender Chris. He took great care of us!!! read more

This is a fairly nice rooftop spot located in Northeast DC. The aesthetics are excellent, it's got a greenery/ jungle scene type of energy and the skyline views and outdoor seating are excellent. I was visiting on a Thursday evening during happy hour, it was packed but they've got a decent amount of seating between the bar, inside tables, and the patio seating. The happy hour menu featured 3 taco options chinichurri beef, chili-roasted cauliflower, and grilled chicken ($3.50 each) and cocktails like palomas, passionfruit margaritas, and classic margaritas ($9 each). I ordered a passionfruit margarita and a couple of grilled chicken tacos. Service was excellent the bartenders were attentive and made some really well balanced cocktails. The tacos came out quickly and were better than I anticipated: great presentation, fresh toppings, and the chicken was flavorful and tender. All in all great experience and definitely would recommend as one of the more enjoyable rooftop atmosphere's in the city. read more

I had a great time here. I was really looking forward to enjoying the views from the rooftop but Mother Nature had her on plans. Nonetheless, the indoor set up was just as good. I came for happy hour and the place had just opened so I had the opportunity to sit wherever I liked. The wait staff was great and the food was excellent and reasonably price. Treehouse is in a beautiful decorated boutique hotel and it oozes great vibes. Apparently if you stay at the hotel you get a free margarita, which is a nice little bonus. read more

Definitely a great spot for nice vibes and a view. After a night of bar hopping I ended up here, first time it was pretty cool I would visit again to try more drinks and maybe more food but overall the bartender was very friendly and good at his job! Food was 6/10 the shrimp were a little salty for me personally, but my favorite was the chicken tacos for sure a must try! *they have to-go bowls as well for your leftovers read more

Came for an event and the space itself was very cute. You really can't beat a rooftop in the city at any time of year but during the summer it's beautiful. I had: Chicken tacos & Guacamole with chips - CT were a 7/10, I'm not much of a raw red onion fan but they were diced so small I could stomach them. With a hefty squeeze of lime I took down the 3 tacos with ease and if my appetite called for it I could've put down 3 more. Got my customary lemon drop with tequila and was a happy camper. I also tried the corn ribs and OMG please snoot that into my veins. It was creamy, cheesy, with the perfect hint of lime. I would def add this to my order when I come back. Our server was very attentive and the service was super quick, not just with our food but also with clean up. I'd come back for their happy hour and the views. There's a garage that provides 3hr free parking also so that's a plus. read more

This place gets rave reviews online but I don't see the attraction with this place at all. The vibe here is meh. They're going for a tropical vibe but I wasn't a fan. The bar area is bland so your best bet is to sit outside. The bar service wasn't impressive. We had to wait at least 15 minutes to order drinks and another 10 minutes to get them at a place that wasn't even busy. As for the food, The Birria Tacos were good and the Chips with Guac were basic. I can't say I'd return given all the hubbub and what it actually is in my opinion. read more

Had an absolutely beautiful night in Washington DC on this rooftop patio. The margaritas on happy hour special were fantastic and the chicken taco was amazing. Everybody told me locally that the tacos were something to try and they were not wrong. Coming from the West Coast... Tacos are a priority And these were absolutely up to par. Do yourself a favor and come hang out on this beautiful rooftop. Not too loud and friendly people everywhere. The staff was amazingly helpful and made me feel 100% welcome even coming from out of town Do yourself a favor go to this place and hang out read more

Let me tell you something, they don't have to worry about me. Now, I visited this place once. I felt like it was cute and the happy hour situation wasn't bad. My first plate of tacos had hair in it, nasty, but it was all good after I received the new plate. I went with a group of about 20-30 people for happy hour and they're probably not used to that type of business on a Wednesday because there was only 1 bartender and the service was pretty slow. Notwithstanding, I thought it was a cute, ducked off spot to maybe invite people to in the future. I should've known I'd have some trouble when I saw the IG page was private. My next experience, I was just very turned off by the management's operation. I reached out to the hotel, via contact box on the website, expressing interest in inviting a group people there for happy hour for my birthday. I incorporated my concern regarding having 1 bartender on a weekday, the speed of service, and inquired if there was anything I would need to do in order to create a proper environment for a large amount of people. I was then contacted by the food & beverage director, Joseph, asking how many people I intended on having because he "already had something on the books" and asked me to let him know as soon as possible. Keep in mind that this is 8 days ahead of the date. I responded promptly asking if the bar area would still be open. I didn't need to reserve space, I was inviting people to the place freely. So, I responded asking if he was implying that the location would be closed to the public given the reservation he mentioned. I followed up, the next day, after my initial response to ask again if the location would be open, provided the least amount of individuals confirmed, and advised that I was just trying to coordinate accordingly. I still hadn't received a reply nor managed to reach him via phone for days. Eventually, I found contact info for the GM and emailed him my same concerns in an attempt to gain answers because I needed to know if I should divert elsewhere but the ghosting should have been my sign. Joseph then responds a week later saying "just saw your reply", asked if my group was still coming the next day, and then again asked to contact him ask soon as possible. I guess at this point, you already know he didn't reply nor answer the phone calls. So, I show up the next day anticipating having a birthday event only for the staff downstairs to say the rooftop is CLOSED. One gentleman advised that the rooftop was flooded and offered for us to see if we wanted. My mom asked for them to show us the flooding then to assess and the gentleman says "oh I was just playing, I can't show it to you". All of this made me feel like this establishment PLAYED intentionally. I should have had my municipal contacts investigate this place but I said they'll get their own karma. I was so thankful for their neighbor F1 and their hospitality because I had roughly 60-80 people show up for my birthday and they made it such an amazing experience to be last minute. In all, I'm not messing with Hotel Nell, Treehouse, or any subsidiaries. I'm not even referring the location for aesthetic. Joseph, nor anyone else even contacted me to inform me that the place would be closed or anything. Just terrible communications and operations. read more

Where do I start, I love this cute rooftop above the hotel. The ambiance is really nice with indoor & outdoor seating perfect for a date night. Parking was free for 3 hrs in the garage next door which is great for DC! You are able to enjoy yourself without having to pay a pretty penny for parking. All the food was amazing. The Chimichurri brisket tacos were soooo flavorful. I could have ate 6 of them. I love me some Elote so those corn ribs were just perfect! The drinks were balanced and good. For dessert, I had to get the pastelitos. I love anything with guava. Everything was bomb, and our server was good. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Treehouse for blessing DC with the vibes. read more

We had a MF ball here yesterday, but before you get into the rest of the review, please know that our server, Alex, was AMAZING. She was thee star of the show. Everything else about the experience was complementary. Honestly. But we loved ittttttt nonetheless. It was all pretty great. Location Deets: Found easy, free, street parking about a block away. It's located atop the Nell Hotel (they have really clean bathrooms!!!!). Service: Alex provided amazing service. She anticipated our needs even before we recognized what they were. She moved with urgency. She was dope. She seamlessly handled a tonnnnn of tables, inside and outside. Best server I've had in a very long time. Ambiance: This place has such a cute little vibeeeee. Omg! We snagged a half-booth out on the rooftop and enjoyed Lemon drops and Leopards for HOURS. The inside is really cute, too, and honestly, the hotel this place is located in is cute AF, too. The whole jungle/plant vibe speaks to my soul. And there's suchhhhh a cute view from outside. Comida: Let me tell you something: those Rockfish tacos? TUHHHHHHHH. They were sooooo good. We ordered three as like an app to go with our chips and guacamole. Fuegoooooo. The chips and guacamole were very basic. Salsa was good, though! The corn ribs (elote) were a hitttttttttttttttttt. Omg. Can't wait to come back. Enjoy these cute pics! read more

I almost never post anything on here positive or negative, but the food at treehouse was quite bad. I'd even eat at chipotle any day over this - far more flavor and better quality. And the margarita had an odd flavor - guessing it was the mix used in the recipe. read more

A friend and I went here for Juneteenth as it was advertised on their instagram that they were selling a speciality cocktail where the proceeds were all going to the NAACP. Once we asked about it, one server didn't know about it and then the other said it would only be available for one hour later that night. None of that information was shared on instagram. So, we stayed for a bit for happy hour. I got the chicken tacos and a drink, which both were pretty good but not what we originally came for. Just an FYI: HH is only at the bar and outside. It was way too hot to be outside so luckily we got there when HH started and were able to get seats at the bar and about 30 mins into it the bar area was crowded. read more

Had such a fun girls night at treehouse rooftop! Located at the top of Hotell Nell in the Union Market area. For dinner I had the birria tacos which were delicious. I tried the Jungle Bird drink but wasn't a fan of the Campari and the bartender was amazing and let me switch it with the how the leopard for their spots drink which was fantastic. The bartender then made me a little creation: a strawberry margarita with mezcal and a tajin rim. This is now my FAVORITE DRINK EVER! Will absolutely be back. read more

We originally planned to have drinks and dinner that night. But they lost power in the morning and I got a text saying they were not serving dinner and offered to comp a round. So we decided to stay the course and have drinks but then go elsewhere for dinner. Shelley made great drinks. Loved the leopard drink with spots! The mescal added a smokiness to it. I also got a skinny margarita. Bar was nice. Loved the decor. It was dead but that probably was because of all the canceled reservations. Will have to return!! read more

Usually rooftops in D.C. gloat the U.S. Capitol, but the shining star of Treehouse Rooftop is the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the continent's largest Catholic Church building. Located inside the Union Market Hotel just north of the actual Union Market, park in the lot near the market and walk up to avoid paying parking garage fees closer. Walk inside the hotel lobby and find the elevator that takes you to the rooftop. Once off, a hostess will direct you to a table or the bar with city views. Inside a well designed space, only drinks were available when my buddy and I went. Cocktails range from $16-$20. They also have wine and beer. If you like margaritas, get the Porque Elote with oaxacan cheese washed espoion blanco, sotol ono, fermented corn syrup, chinola passion fruit liqueur, and lime. It was excellent! read more

I really enjoyed this rooftop. I will say I wish I got some pictures of inside as it was very beautiful. I went on the one random warm day in January and really enjoyed the outdoor seating. They had warmers, the view was beautiful and the crowd is like young professional social club vibes. Service was good. the bar is new and there were a lot of patrons so sometimes it took long for servers to return but they were friendly and polite. Food was also great. Highly recommend the brisket bowl or any bowl. The lime cilantro rice is genuinely delicious! The corn ribs were also pretty good. Reminded me of Doritos tbh haha and guac was okay. I'd return on a warmer day. Only con is it's pretty small and seats were reserved so walk ins have a tough time especially with the small bar to get seated. So go early if you don't have a reservation . read more

There has been so much buzz around Treehouse Rooftop since it opened, and all of the reviews and comments have been consistently great - SO, my friend and I decided to check it out for ourselves. The Treehouse Rooftop is suchhhh a unique space. The team has done an amazing job at getting the vibe and decor to drive home the treehouse theme tastefully and elegantly! The service was great... Silver was our server, and she was stellar. She knows the menu really well, is well informed about what popular and also makes good suggestions for drinks to order. The drinks I had (How the Leopard Got its Spots & La Playa) were great, and the food was yummm and came out really quickly!!! **Heads up - the Garlic Prawns are 10/10!** Am I looking forward to going back? Absolutely... I went early evening, so had missed the HH crowd and was one of the first dinner reservations. I'd like to try more of the food options and also see the space when there are more people to add to the vibe. The rooftop bar and restaurant is on the 5th floor of the Union Market Hotel!! The hotel is a boutique hotel, so from the minute you walk in - if you are a sucker for great aesthetics and propagated plants... You'll be magically whisked away! read more

I was so excited to try Treehouse Rooftop for the first time and it definitely did not disappoint. It is located on the 5th floor of the Union Market Hotel right on New York Ave. The parking garage was a little tricky to find, but when you do, you can park in the garage for free for your first 3 hours. Right when you walk in, Treehouse reminds me of Tulum with the dim lighting and surrounding plants. It's such a vibe! I loved the ambience as well as the music selection which was mostly R&B and Afrobeats. For drinks, I had the How the Leopard Got Its Spot which was a Mezcal based drink. It was absolutely delicious!!! I had the La Playa next which was also really good. For food, my friend and I started off with the garlic prawns. They were delectable and seasoned so well. So on point! I then had the brisket tacos for my entree. They were also delicious. If I wasn't full, I would have put in for another order. I absolutely loved Treehouse Rooftop and I can see why there's been so much talk about this chic new spot. From the food, to the music and vibes, it's definitely a spot I would want to come back to regularly! read more

Great view of the city and sunset! Came here after work for happy hour (all day Mon and 5-7pm Tues-Fri) and got some margaritas and tacos. The service was good, waitress was attentive and checked in frequently, The paloma and classic margarita were good and decently priced for happy hour. I ordered the happy hour tacos (yucatan chicken taco and general tso cauliflower taco) and the grilled rockfish tacos. All were a miss for me. I specifically said I had a mild allergy to onions and asked for it to be omitted from my tacos but it was still in there, general tso cauliflower weren't crispy and fish was bland.

Treehouse Rooftop - Our drinks - Wine Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Visited the place and the food good. The prices were fair but the service was awful. Not enough servers or bar tenders.

My friend and I recently stayed at the hotel and had some free drink vouchers at Treehouse (on the top floor of the hotel). The free drink vouchers were for margaritas, but my friend is allergic to citrus, we asked if she could have something else. She ended up with a vodka soda with a lime wedge on the rim (not malicious, it's just so loud in there, the bartenders couldn't hear us, I don't think). The margarita was pre-mixed (fine) but had the taste of a purchased mix. Not a margarita I'd order again. The service wasn't bad, but they were busy and you could tell. Maybe it was also because we had drink vouchers, so they may have thought we were just going to have one drink and leave (we did), but service was definitely cursory. The best thing about the bar is definitely the rooftop views. Otherwise I'd say it's a pretty standard bar. Not a place I necessarily plan on returning to but good enough for a drink or two if you're staying in the hotel for sure. read more
