Shawn CallahanNovember 19, 2016If you are travelling alone then Off The Record is a great spot to have a quiet drink at the bar and soak in the politico atmosphere. The bartender makes a terrific Old Fashioned.
Rob AtkinsonFebruary 29, 2016A Washington classic. Low lighting and small tables, good for intimate conversations (or political scheming, as the case may be)
Ricky SherrillOctober 6, 2015A nice place for a weekday business meeting over drinks. They make some nice cocktails and la great location.
Kenneth PrattNovember 3, 2015Great, relaxed atmosphere. You are likely to run into all types of political types. Even lobbyists!- Great place for a night cap or for quiet drink after work. Pricey but totally worth it
Chris HigginbothamSeptember 14, 2013A little pricey, but a good place for now and then when you want good drinks and good conversation.
Andrew McLaughlinSeptember 3, 2009Go to Off the Record. You will nearly always get a munchie (think: high-class wonton) with your drink. Good place to actually talk and, if you're into it, to spot minor DC celebs.- Beth HolzFebruary 1, 2019Great stop for an afternoon sip and small nosh - lots of political chatter - fun.
Topper ToppOctober 15, 2013One must take the time to look like a tourist and admire the wall art; amazing!!

SarahApril 25, 2015Good for dates and taking out of town guests. Wines are so-so; stick to cocktails.
Tammy GordonApril 19, 2012Great spot for a clandestine meeting. Enter through lobby. Door downstairs to left of elevators. Concierge has phone chargers.
- Britney RussellFebruary 26, 2012Davids Washingtonian is simply amazing. Definitely a ladies stink though ;)
Grant ShellenJanuary 23, 2017Overpriced, giant drinks, stuffy atmosphere unless you're really into political culture.
Jordan BalderasJanuary 28, 2014Extremely disappointing for foodies or cocktail enthusiasts. Maybe it was an off night. However it may be, it was not the best hotel bar of America.
Heshu VasquezFebruary 21, 2015Un excelente bar en el corazón de DC, a unos cuantos pasos de la Casa Blanca

"The Chef here is AMAZING! Such great small plates, and they change the menu with the season. Sit outside year-round (there is a fire pit!) and sip on the delicious cocktails."
