    Chips and Guacamole
    Angela W.

    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.

    Happy hour

    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.

    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

    Chicken tacos

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cauliflower taco, chicken taco, beef taco

    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

    Mahi Mahi tacos! So freaking good.
    Diana K.

    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!!!

    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.

    Treehouse Rooftop: tacos are amazing here
    Bella J.

    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.

    Park in the garage directly behind treehouse. 1st three hours are free with ticket (no validation needed) Sat on the patio, overlooking the city into hyattsville. It was a beautiful day outside and we could see for miles They have a very small happy hour menu I got 3 carne asada tacos (not hh). $18 They were just okay. The tortilla was very soggy and I prob could have used more spice Margarita and Passion fruit happy hour drinks were good

    Birria tacos were

    The ambiance has changed tremendously since my last visit, but food & customer service has remained the same. Those birria tacos hit . Come to find out the chef is from L.A....nuff said

    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.

    Hey is there a happy hour here?

    When i went to visit a few weeks ago, they did not have happy hour. But I was told they were going to start exploring with wine and some beers in the coming weeks. So maybe they have it up and running now!

    Is parking available ? Cost?

    Martini Hour alert!…read more First, I think that the martini hour is absolutely genius! It runs from 5-7pm and the selections of martinis were perfect. Ambiance: the restaurant is beautiful but note that martini hour takes place in a small bar area with limited seats. Nonetheless, you can grab a few friends and make this a moment as you enjoy those perfect martini selections. Bites: there weren't much to eat at martini hour so we moved to the general area afterwards to enjoy some food. Service: the staff was amazing and very accommodating. Shoutout to Nesto, the best bartender around! Martinis: Morini Martini: I absolutely love this drink. It was crisp, refreshing, and had a little bold flavors from the white pepper. I absolutely loved this drink and would get it again Sicilian Martini: another fav! Think summer time refreshing with a hint of sweet and citrus burst from the mandarin and lemon Espresso Martini: this drink was another great selection. Freshly brewed and perfectly prepared. I loved it Least favorite: Cala Rossa. I only disliked the drink because it was very sugary and I don't really enjoy sugary drinks. Food: Rigatoni: this dish was divine! And quick note, the smaller plates were perfect serving sizes. But back to the dish. The pasta was cooked al dente and the lamb ragu was soooooooooooooo good! No seriously, it was absolutely divine. Perfectly seasoned and rich in flavors. Other members of my party enjoyed their dishes: Cappelletti and Paccheri Alla Norma, both were described as absolutely perfect. Excellent evening, great service, incredible food and perfect drinks! What's not to love about this place?! I'll be back!

One of my favorites pictured here is the squid ink pasta in a spicy sauce with blended shellfish. The bread crumbs on top, shellfish and pasta have the best texture combination. The red pepper perfectly compliments the dish. My other go- to is the gramigna- the white sauce with pepper and sausage is a very tasty dish. I truly appreciate their homemade pasta! For apps- can't go wrong with the burrata. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere chic casual.

Loved the moody vibe of the wine bar, it felt very cool, cozy and sophisticated. We sat in a booth under a red light so unfortunately my food picture turned out super red. Friends loved the selection of orange wine, and we ordered mcbetty truffle fries, shrimp scampi, honey whipped goat cheese, shishito peppers, and caesar salad for 4 people. Highlights were definitely the shrimp scampi with focaccia and fries, with the goat cheese on bread as a close third. A little pricy for the portions but honestly impressed with the variety of flavors and quality of the food. Service was ok, food came out a little slower than expected. I had really hoped to pick up some pastries (miss those baked joint cupcakes!) but seems like they don't sell them in evening. I'll have to come back for brunch/lunch to get some!

It's got plenty of character and feels like a great spot to hang out with friends or for a nightcap. When you walk in someone will help you find a seat and once you you're ready to order, you go up to the bar to order drinks or food. Although wine isn't my main thing, they do offer a small and limited selection of alcoholic options just no cocktails. Enough to do the job. I loved the music and the dim, chill, laid back decor really complimented the overall feel. It's definitely a spot I'd come back to especially to try out some of the food. Really dope spot.

The whole vibe is immaculate, with dark walls, dim lighting, and a great playlist, which all sets a very welcoming atmosphere. They have one of the best happy hours in town. M-F until 7, you can get incredible deals. You can get chicken or BLT sliders for $3.50 apiece, and reduced priced stuffed mushrooms, too. The $5 whipped feta comes with a big side of potato chips. These are small bites, but for very small prices. Food specials on a happy hour menu always get me excited. The chicken sliders were the consensus fave and will definitely be our go to. The drink deals are even better, though. I had a delicious old fashioned for just $7, and for round 2, the preparadas up is amazing. It is a bright red draft milk punch that is a little sweet, a little tart, with gin, lime, a touch of spice, and a sour candy garnish. Very fun, but very delicious, too. And it packs a punch. Plenty of other options are discounted, too. If you are reading this during the government shutdown, they have additional shutdown deals (available for everyone, all day), so it's almost like all day happy hour. Don't miss it!

Ddukbokgi is chewy rice cakes, gochujang, onion, and bulgogi. We thought it was only ok -- we've had better, including at Mandu in the past. Yukgaejang was a new dish for me. The menu described it as a "spicy beef stew, brisket, noodles, shiitake, bean sprouts, and egg." I expected the brisket to be sliced and recognizably brisket, but it was pulled -- it looked and tasted more like pulled pork. The dish also didn't have any noodles in it. I didn't like it. The banchan was seaweed, bean sprouts, kimchi, and cucumbers. It was okay. Service at the bar was fine.

    Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

The bartender in the main room was great, he was very friendly and once he started a tab for me he said I could use the other bar too, I guess he wasn't aware the bartender at that other bar already told me she wouldn't help me. Regardless, the drinks we had were decent. For small bites, they only had gold fish crackers, I wish they would have had more to nosh on while drinking. Overall, not a bad visit.
