I'm super happy this place reopened. I sat inside as unfortunately all outdoor spaces were reserved but even seating inside you feel as if you are part of the outdoors. The current menu is super limited. We ordered tacos and ceviche and both were delicious but there is nothing more. For now this is mainly a rooftop bar. Come here on a nice or semi nice day, enjoy and relax with friends (do know sometimes their music indoors is a bit loud so a bit hard to talk) Do know they do follow the 2-hr ish rule as most places do at this time. But Covid protocols were in place. read more

Good views, good was ok, service was ok. The place has a ton of potential but I guess it's a hit or miss on some nights/days. Private events crowd visitors out. read more

Ambiance/decor: Cute rooftop. It was a little chilly at night when we went and sat outside even with 2 heaters next to us. We were a party of 7 people so the outside area is good for large groups. Price value: Drink are a bit pricey here probably cause of the rooftop vibes. Apparently they have 1/2 Priced During Happy Hour 5pm-6pm Food: I didn't order food so I'm not sure. Drinks: I ordered the $16 SO FRESH, SO CLEAN drink 3.5/5 which comes with Japanese Gin, Genever, Cucumber, Fino Sherry, and Lime. It's refreshing but overpriced. I've definitely had fancier, better drinks for $16 elsewhere. Service: We had to order at the bar. Good for: Drinks on Rooftop but I'd probably only come here for happy hour read more

Had a chance to catch Sam "The Man" Burns at this venue last night ! First time there and I was immediately in love ! The drinks were ok. Nothing spectacular but the views and space were both amazing! This will be on my summer favorite hangouts come spring/summer 19! It's a very "New York" lounge type vibe. read more

TERRIBLE! I was here for Cinco de Mayo with a group, and let me go down the list..... 1. It took an hour for the first round of drinks to come out. 2. All of the waitstaff was moving like molasses. 3. I ordered carne asada tacos, and received mushroom tacos. For the record, I paid as if I ordered carne asada, because I didn't have any added time to wait, because I quickly headed to Open Table to make a reservation at another restaurant. (See reason #4) 4. My husband arrived at 8:30, the waitress came to the table at 8:45, to be told "The kitchen is officially closed". Really? It's Cinco de Mayo, you have a whole menu dedicated to it, and the kitchen is closed at 8:45???!!!!????!!!! 5. The portions were small, and the guacamole was season-less. 6. It was "The Worst"................. read more

Wildays also known as Eaton hotel rooftop is one of the most trendy spots in DC. The indoor ambiance, live DJs, and beautiful diverse crowd make this a fun go-to on the weekend or for happy hour. The bar area is somewhat small and the reserved seating is limited, with so so table service, especially on a crowded night. Drinks are strong and short rib tacos are amaze! The outdoor patio is complete with a communal fire pit and heat lamps for the winter months. Wildays is a must try winter and spring 2019, maybe even beyond. read more

The DJs are usually good here but the bartenders are constantly super slow. It takes away from the overall experience.

The views, ambience and amazing hostess desk service can not be beat here! Even on a wet and dreary night, we were greeted so friendly, and squeezed in without a reservation (waited to see if someone no-showed, they did) Even inside at night the views are great! A really pretty space, this would be great for a large party or group because of how the tables and chairs are set up (think lounge, couches and mixed seats). The chicken nachos were good as well - they use crema and crumbled Mexican cheeses, not the hard solid slab that you have to pry off the plate. Sorry to say, the tacos need some help! We got the sampler and the tortillas were hard and cold, so they were split down the middle. They either need to be heated more to make them malleable or they need fresh tortillas! The fillings were so so, the best was carne asada. This is for sure a hot spot for a date night, just recommend getting something other than tacos or doing dinner elsewhere. read more

It was cute for a Monday Vibe. I went to Wild Days for an Underground Comedy Show. I had never been to the bar before and was very excited. The rooftop was beautiful and the actual bar was set up perfectly. I was a little irritated as there was an event, yet only one bartender which made it very difficult to get drinks. I wanted to drink more however I didn't want to wait in a 15 minute line each time. I ordered the Next Lifetime drink. I am not going to lie, I hated it. It taste like medicine to me. ( I drank it anyway because I didn't want to waste liquor). I can appreciate the fact that the drink was strong and I was definitely tipsy. I didn't get food however I saw the nachos and they looked pretty good. I would go back for the atmosphere, to try a new drink and also get the smores which you can roast on the rooftop. read more

I need the beef tacos in my mouth now. There was a time they carried Uncle Nearest. Awesomely beautiful tiled wall that reflects the light. DJs are always dope and the vibe and atmosphere here are off the chain. Wild Days, Til we meet again. read more

Used to love this place. We came as a group after calling and being told we didn't need a reservation... There was a big party there that had a reservation but they didn't close the bar off. We were told they would serve us at 8pm but cut us off at 6:30pm. A friend "snuck in" and the bartender/manager wouldn't let it go. Overpriced weak cocktails and for what? There are other bars in the Eaton and other rooftops in the city. No longer worth it. read more

Wildays -The rooftop bar of the Eton hotel. We went for happy hour on a Monday. It rained a bit earlier that day but the sun came out strong so we decided to give the rooftop a try. After exiting the elevator we were welcomed into a modern cozy indoor rooftop space with a stage and the bar. We grabbed two drinks and headed to the outdoor rooftop area. The outside area is sort of like a large balcony with several large table and chair sets. A few seemed to be marked as reserved but we were reassured by another party that we could could just grab w/e was open. To our dismay the chairs were still a bit damp luckily we were able to find some dry ones. After finishing our first glass of wine we started to feel a bit peckish. After chatting with the host and server we were able to get table service outdoor to avoid walking back and forth for drinks and food. We ordered the kalbi tacos and the chicken tacos. The kalbi tacos were amazing completely outshining the chicken tacos which weren't all that good. The wine opened up our appetites obviously because we made another order of kalbi tacos for a total of 2 by the end of the night! Lol As the sun started to set, the indoor comedy show was starting. We shuffled inside to watch. The acts were mildly funny. The overall experience of wildays was perfect. It's a bit pricey but definitely a good vibe. read more

loved coming here during the summer and spending time on the rooftop. i got the sauvignon blanc and just enjoyed the view. what a vibe. can't wait to come here again once it warms up. read more

The hostess in the front was extremely unhelpful and lost frankly. We had a reservation and couldn't be seated while the place was empty. Best of luck finding a seat. read more

My first time experiencing the DC night life and my first stop was Wild Days rooftop bar. Not only did we wait about 13 min to get a drink, but the two bartenders working completely ignored me and my wife. Even when another patron straight up told the bartender (gentleman with the hat) that they we were there fist, he then looked at us and then went on to the gentleman next to us who had just moved up to the bar. Horrible service right from the start and will never return!! read more

Terrible food and drinks. I love this hotel and the ambiance and expected the rooftop to have good food and drinks but that was not the case. And for some reason the table next to us was able to order food at their table but we had to go to the bar and put in our order there then wait for the food to get ready to grab at the bar?? Got no service at all. read more

Believe the reviews about the terrible service. This place is a disappointment at best, and infuriatingly bad at worst. We had a 4:45 reservation so that we could be seated in time to take advantage of Happy Hour. We were seated right away outside, but then basically left alone for the next 15 minutes. No water. No server. The QR code on the tables does not work. And it's not like the place was packed. There was only one other table of guests. We almost left, but first I asked the bartender whether we needed to order at the bar. He promised to send our server. A few MORE minutes later, she came. Apparently she was the ONLY server for the entire rooftop during Happy Hour. It was a huge fail. The service here is TERRIBLE. It's the kind of bad service that will make you feel unattractive because they must be shunning you for your bad looks or fashion or something. They DGAF. Don't give them your business. When we finally got our first Happy Hour drinks, one appeared to be soapy, like the glass was not cleaned properly. It took ANOTHER 20 minutes to get the drink replaced. We would have ordered another round of drinks, but our server literally never came back to get us another round. The rooftop is kind of like a little oasis but the seats and tables also just suck. They're like intentionally uncomfortable and the tables are awkward to eat from. Just weird. Not worth the time, effort, or parking fee for a garage. Thumbs down. read more

Yesssss they are back open!!! The new Tacos are sOoOoO good!!! We got the Impossible Taco, Al Pastor, and Chicken Taco all were delicious not to mention the Chili and Queso by the way. Tai was the bomb and Justin the bartender hasn't let me down once. I have been going here since before the shutdown and they both have some of the best service in the city 10/10. Would definitely recommend. read more

This was a cool place! Nice outdoor rooftop patio, the tacos were pretty good, chips and guac were really good but I could have used a little more. The fire pit afterwards was nice as well. Good service. I did make a reservation but it may not have been totally necessary, it wasn't super busy on a Monday night read more

Went to this place for happy hour for the first time tonight. I liked it more than other DC rooftop bars, less crowded and way cooler. Not that many food options on the happy hour menu but enough to satisfy a diverse crowd. Amazed to see that wine glasses are more filled than in other bars, lots of wine :) Service was pretty good, and the decoration, furniture and noise level are inviting for having dinner or a group happy hour. read more

I hosted at 50th birthday celebration at Wild Days rooftop. The planning, execution and service were warm, professional and precise. Their event planner Brandon took great care of us. He was timely in all his communications, clear and concise about the terms of the event, and incredibly sweet by going above and beyond to service us. We had a great time, the food was fantastic and the drinks were delicious. I enjoyed the atmosphere. We've been smiling all week. Great place to plan an event, staff was very attentive and friendly. Thank you Wild Days! read more

One star. I had an awful experience while having drinks at Wild Days on Friday. Now, Eaton Hotel is an amazing venue. American Son on the first floor has awesome food and the drinks at the hidden speakeasy are delicious. I wish I could say the same about Wild Days upstairs. A friend and I went into the bar, ordered a round of drinks from the bartender and sat down at an open table (no reserved sign). After 10-15 min went by a woman (who I believe is the manager and her name is Theresa) comes over and tells us it's a $200 minimum for the table. My friend and I both look at her and say "okay". The woman then walks off. She didn't offer a menu or ask us if we would like to sit at another table. She literally just walked off. It was very odd. 5 minutes later, a security guard and another manager (I think he was a manager) walks over and asks us to get up. I could not understand why. The security guard kept telling us she was doing her job, which I didn't understand. Also, the bar was pretty empty. All of the tables were open (with no reserved sign). Finally, the other manager who was with the security guard offered us to sit at another table (which was nice...I guess). After ordering another round we left and complained to the front desk. I felt like the manager (Theresa), deliberately singled us out from the moment we walked in. Her behavior and demeanor was insulting, disrespectful, degrading and flat out made me uncomfortable. Furthermore, the unprofessional security guard who could not explain the issue was also ridiculous. There was no given solution but to "get up" and "move". It was absurd. I go out a lot in DC and I haven't felt like this at an establishment in a long time. I felt as though the manager singled me out simply because of race. She only spoke to me and mentioned to me about the minimum. It was so strange. She never acknowledged my friend. It almost seemed like an unconscious bias. Who knows. After chatting with the front desk, I was notified that this woman acts this way with a lot of customers. It's unprofessional and disgraceful. One more thing, while I was in the lobby waiting to leave another group walked out on their tab. The same security guard walks up to them, using a more polite tone explaining how they need to pay their bill. It's funny, she was flat out rude to me and my friend when we were just sitting at an empty table. I will not spend anymore of my time or money at Wild Days, you shouldn't either until they find better management and a more appropriate way to communicate with patrons. Whatever happened to good customer service? read more

Love this space, on the top of Eaton Hotel. Very hip, boutique-y vibe. Lots of natural wood with black accents -- both in the lobby area and up on the roof. The top floor space, with an indoor lounge and table area - very light and airy - would be a great place for a reception of 40-50 people. [Note to self.] They had a happy hour -- good beer selection -- and we ordered chicken tacos as an appetizer to share. Surprisingly good (am often wary of hotel food). The service was good as well. Only bit of advice: If you want a table outside, on the deck, get there at 4:00 or 4:30pm. It will be full by 5:00pm. Rookie mistake. read more

Good food, good vibes. If you love healthy food options and drinks, this is the place for you to chill and enjoy a good night out on the town. Definitely will return to for an outing. read more

Happy hour here was great! The views are beautiful, the food was tasty, and the service was fantastic. They have both an inside space with a bar and outdoor seating with views of the area. They do pour the drinks very strong--my aperol spritz was huge! But it was a beautiful place to spend an evening and watch the sunset before heading to dinner. read more

Hit this spot for a birthday party celebration on a Friday night. Arrived a little after 9p and was thrilled with the set-up and overall vibe of the place. Our group had a large area reserved just in front of the bar. We had a tab complete with drinks and foods (ie, variety of soft shell tacos and chips + guacamole). I tried the pulled chicken tacos (good) and the pulled duck (amazingly delicious! Had a nice little kick to them so if you like spicy, order these for sure!). The chips + guacamole will change your life: chips served warm, guacamole perfectly seasoned. The outdoor space is super sexy. At one end you'll find a fire pit with enough seating for a bunch. They also provide blankets so although this is a city lounge, this makes the whole sitch feel cozy. The DJ for the night was AWESOME! I'll find out his name and update this review but he made our night one of the best ever. Amazing play list from current hits (think Cardi B and Drake) to old school jams from Michael Jackson, Prince and Frankie Beverly. The crowd was a great reflection of K St DC: all ethnicities; couples; groups; etc. Really a great spot for any and all. So with all this goodness, why only 4-stars? The drinks were weak!! I should've been BLASTED (don't judge me here) but after at least 3 drinks, I was more than sober. I drank a few margaritas and one of their house mixes...barely tasted any alcohol. Pre-game before going but still go and party it up! ! read more

Love this rooftop! It's indoor and outdoor so weather is not an issue! They have a great Latin night on Wednesday from 5-10pm with the best bachata DJs! If you haven't been before, the vibe is like garden of Eden! So classy and drinks are great! read more

This rooftop is absolutely beautiful! Love the interior design and the location. The food, however, was not that great which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Unless you're not hungry and are going there just for drinks and a lovely venue, then this place is definitely a must. read more

Who would have thought that a rooftop bar in the middle of winter would be so wonderful. The open fire-pit kept us warm and the s'mores were a perfect touch. We also tried a few of the cocktails--loved the Golden Barley and the El Camino. The Burn Baby Burn was good too, but only get it if you're a big fan of ginger. However, I had couple of significant issues with the way this place is run. The servers were perfectly nice and accommodating, but once the bar inside got busy, no one came outside to check on us or take orders for a long time. They probably need more people working on weekend nights. We literally had to chase a server down in a crowd to close our tab at the end. The biggest issue I had however, was that one of us went down to get a reservation at The Allegory (the speakeasy downstairs) and the servers at Wild Days wouldn't let them come back in saying they're at capacity. It took about fifteen minutes of convincing that we already had a table AND an open tab at Wild Days. It was a mess. The Allegory & Wild Days should better coordinate its patrons. read more

I don't know what I like more, the vibe or the food and cocktails. I've hung out with the same friend twice and each time we fall more in love with this amazingly creative, eclectic space. It just has a distinct vibe and as it warms I'm sure I'll be spending more time. The house punch is a great and not too pricey drink option but the cocktail menu has some good pics including the gin and lime drink, the name of which I can't recall and the mushroom taco trio is delish! So buttery with a tasty mayo, a great and filling pick me up but not too heavy. read more

Wow, this might take the prize for one of the absolute worst experiences I've had in over a decade in the District... and I've had some pretty memorable experiences. The service was absolutely atrocious. In 2.5 hours at this place we managed to each get one drink (it took a half hour to receive only glasses of wine and high noons...) and a measly smoked salmon dip, which was tasty but honestly not worth the frustration of trying to track down someone to even order it. They brought cutlery and dishes after we had already finished the dip. We ordered additional items and as they still hadn't arrived over an hour later (by the way it was not busy inside), we asked for the check and as we waited for the check food came. Honestly don't waste your time at this establishment. Our server was rude and seemed to have no idea what was going on and accused us of laughing at her totally out of the blue after one of our group let out a small chuckle about receiving silverware after we had already eaten the dip. Go elsewhere, there are plenty of better rooftops in DC. read more

Beautiful outdoor space. This place get ridiculously crowded the night goes on. Almost too crowded to be comfortable, even in the outdoor space. Our waitress was not attentive at all and we could go 45mins to an hour without seeing her. We had to flag down other staff who then also disappeared for 20 mins or so. Overall the experience was great, until we were packed like sardines on the balcony. Even sitting down you had people standing over you. read more

I had such a great time at Eaton. The staff was excellent! Our waitress (sista w/ the gorgeous locs) was extremely kind and attentive. Our drinks were delicious. I had the Jamaican ginger sorrel. Thank you for a wonderful experience, can't wait to visit again. read more

I was not impressed with the food at Wild Days. The rooftop is pretty cool, however. You can check this place out.

Wild days is a rooftop bar inside the Eaton hotel in DC. This was totally unexpected and an impromptu visit as we were waiting for something else inside the Eaton hotel. Wild Days is a large space with a pretty big and long rooftop area. They have quite a few tables and benches with blankets and heat lamps outside the rooftop area. The inside is a large space with a pretty large bar and they also serve food, which we did not try. The drinks and the drink prices are pretty standard here. I was totally surprised by the large rooftop patio area which was nice and a good space to get a little fresh air while enjoying your drinks. It creates for a nice ambiance and a good place to chill and drink. read more

I wish I could actually comment on the drinks or food but we didn't get there. The service is absolutely atrocious. I was ignored for about 15 minutes with people clearly cutting in front of me who seemed to know the bartender. Even after the man behind me commented that I was in line. Bartenders did not seem to care. In DC where you have a plethora of options, not somewhere I would spend my money. Really disappointing since I wanted to try this place. After reading reviews, seems like my experience is the norm and not the exception. read more

What an awesome place! I attended a birthday party and was thrilled when I saw the firepit on the rooftop deck. We sat near the dance floor where the DJ was playing great music. My group had the short rib tacos, chicken tacos and the impossible burger that was out of this world. The drinks were amazing I had the imagine that was a twist on a margarita. The manager Therese approached us to ensure we were receiving the best service in which we were. She went above and beyond to ensure the best experience. She also informed us of their other venues that we should experience Allegory and American Son. I will most definitely be back to enjoy the rooftop deck during the spring and summer. read more

The bartender Brandon was awesome! Really connected with each guest and made everyone feel welcome. He had a great pour for the wine and was hustling behind the bar. Definitely will come back if he's there! read more

This was going to be my last night in D.C. and I planned to meet with friends that I hadn't seen for over 12 - 20 years during Wild Days' Happy Hour. One of my friends is a well-known socialite and established businesswoman in the area and recommended Wild Days. She was also eager to look at the place for an upcoming gathering she was coordinating the following month. I got there early to get enough seats to accommodate for the number of people who were coming (eight in total). The host was wonderful and helped me to select which area I wanted and placed the reserved sign at that area. After that point, everything went downhill and was the worse customer service I had in a while. The waitress, Crystal was extremely rude and had a mean attitude (not smiling, rolling eyes and brash). I thought it was just me however when my guests arrived (one by one) they mentioned the same thing during the course of the night. It was not that crowded that evening and when I observed her interaction with others, she seemed polite and with a smile. We always had to track her down and it took forever for us to be waited on and it took an extremely long time for appetizers to arrive. Crystal NEVER came to us to see if we needed anything or asked how everything was going (like most decent waitresses would do). When the bill came, she grossly overcharged our group by adding additional items that were not ordered. At that point, I didn't even want to have an interaction with her and went to the manager who corrected the bill and apologized. Unfortunately, they added an auto gratuity on the bill. If it wasn't for that, we truly would not have given her a tip. read more
