Such a waste of a wonderful view! I was here in early December. The drinks were delicious and service awesome. On 2/23/26, bar service was horrible. Could not even get a glass of water. Bartenders were more interested in checking their phones versus serving customers. The “Happy Hour” drinks are a RIP OFF. They advertise 2oz but they pour 3/4oz of alcohol then film the rest with vermouth, ice melt, bitters and simple syrup for maybe 2oz of total liquid. Save your $10 and go elsewhere! Food was fair. Had chicken Taquitos. They were hot, but lacked crunch and had a chicken mush/soft filling. The sauce and lettuce were very good! Suggestion, ride up, take a look and a picture then to to the Pendry, for rooftop, Cantina Bambina for an “on the water experience” or Tiki TNT for the best wings on the wharf!

I met a group of friends here on a Saturday. Food, drinks, and atmosphere were good. I recommend getting the shrimp ceviche. Our server Sophia was amazing! We loved her. She was attentive, friendly, and kept our area clean. The bartenders were also nice.
Depending on where you sit, you can get nice views of the Potomac river and Wharf. The music added to the vibe too; they were playing Afro beats, Caribbean music and other mainstream music.
Here’s why I didn’t rate this place as 5 stars. When the group first arrived, the initial server (I believe Maclovia was her name) was not accommodating to the group, dismissive and showed a lack of care. This could have been a one off situation.
Despite the initial experience, this place was enjoyable. I would recommend this place.

This is a nice bar. Fantastic view at sunset. Cocktails are great, bartenders Aisha and Josue are very friendly. Food is a bit limited but what they have isn’t bad. The price reflects the setting. It’s expensive. Go ahead and impress your date. No date? You can get $10 cocktails and really tasty bao buns and taquitos fairly cheap during weekday happy hour.

A special shoutout to Johnny Le, the Whiskey Charlie Lounge General Manager, who went above and beyond to ensure every guest had a great experience. Not only was he welcoming and attentive, but he also had fantastic restaurant recommendations whenever he heard what we had planned for the day. His local insights made our trip even better!
If you’re looking for a little date night but don’t want to venture far from the hotel, Whiskey Charlie’s is a great spot to enjoy appetizers and a fantastic selection of drinks while soaking in the stunning views. At the moment, they are still renovating the outdoor space, but once it’s complete, this will definitely be the place to be! Or, if you have a sweet tooth, the hotel restaurant offers some delicious sweet treats—my favorite was their rich and decadent chocolate cake, perfect for ending the night on a sweet note!

A very cool rooftop bar just overlooking the marina! The vibes were amazing, staff super friendly and prompt. We were a group of 7 and we just walked in (first come first serve). The views are amazing! They serve a quite good variety of drinks with not so much options of food as it’s not a restaurant, but we had flatbread pizza, marinated olives, ahi tuna salad and they were great. Recommended!

Went for my birthday and while it was expensive for two drinks for two people ($100), for a special occasion this is perfect. Jordan made the heck out of our drinks. Amazing views of the wharf, the Jefferson memorial and parts of DC. Great atmosphere, drinks, and vibes. Friendly staff. Attentive. Would 100% return again
