David DerrickAugust 20, 2014The whole reason to come here is the outdoor patio with scenic views of most of the downtown DC monuments. Incredible location! The happy hour food and drinks are not bad too.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014P.O.V. is open year-round. While lounging on a velvet banquette, savor some craft cocktails along with a small-plates menu inspired by world renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Read more
M Squared Real EstateAugust 21, 2011Beautiful view of the White House and monuments. $39 bottomless brunch on Sunday with lots of interesting items to choose from, such as sushi. Perfect for a special occasion.
Franziska GostnerOctober 14, 2018perfect place to watch sundown before going to dinner, tables with reservation available (i prefered standing at the bar), nice club-music
Matt DickerMay 28, 2013Everyone mentions the view of the White House (which is great), but the view of the rest of the city is even better. Bring your camera with panoramic feature.
AlexaDecember 30, 2012Read some of the reviews here & we were skeptical. Turns out they were quite accommodating. Service was good, food was good & everything is always better with unlimited mimosas. Ask 2 sit with Serita.
Georgi GeorgievApril 29, 2016One of the best views in D.C.! Washington Monument can be a competition, but they don't serve cocktails there. Prices are reasonable.- Rick ServossJanuary 18, 2016Hands down the best views in the city. Head here on a weekend afternoon and take the elevator up to the 11th floor and enjoy a cocktail.
Josh HigginsAugust 16, 2014Great place to hang out with friends on a weekend night and get a spectacular view of the Washington Monument and the White House.
Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015Amazing view. That's all this place is worth, a great view. At night they go 4 a 'club' vibe, but the music is bad. Ultimately only tourists and the old men trying to hook up with them come here.
Lauren YNovember 9, 2014Walk in and put your name down for a table. Grab and drink at the bar and wait. Get a text that your table is ready and continue with small bites and more drinks
Laura PaulusAugust 12, 2012Make sure you ask for a table with chairs...we had a reservation with a view (which was fantastic) but our chairs did not have backs and my older mom couldn't stay. Also- sun was in her eyes... Ugh..- Robb FitzsimmonsJune 5, 2015Simply an unbelievable view of the monuments and white house that I can't believe nobody has ever told me about. Prices aren't as bad as you might think, given the view. $7 beers and $15 cocktails.
FabioSeptember 20, 2013Great rooftop. One of the best in DC. People r wonderful. Girls r sexy n drinks wonderful. Not a better location if u r cle to t WH.
Karen ToxtleSeptember 12, 2018Great view, the drinks are really overpriced but the important thing is to enjoy the sunset there
Michelle HarrisApril 3, 2014I'm a big sangria fan. But I was not a fan of red sangria here. Didn't get to try the white sangria. Amazing view. Attentive bar staff
NightSceneNovember 18, 2010best rooftop view in the district. this venue is about as "LA Scene" as it gets, reserving table space is the best approach. dont forget the lobby, its underrated! and it's just as nice
Luke CardyDecember 27, 2015Definitely worth a trip at night to take a look at the white house. You can also see the Washington Monument and Jefferson Monument etc.
David CirincioneMay 6, 2013Views were beautiful. Was here on a gorgeous day but even of if had been cloudy I couldn't imagine it being worse. Atmosphere is great and the patrons were also so kind!
Chadwick SpellMay 12, 2012View of monument, and white house is amazing, food fantastic, and bartenders didn't know what a beautiful was (cognac and GM), go figure!
ScoutmobJanuary 11, 2012Winter: it's time for locals to take it back. The view of some of Washington's most noteworthy national landmarks, will remind you why tourists flood here every summer.
Nate SApril 4, 2018The worst kept secret, but still a mandatory stop if you’re visiting DC or have a visitor in town. You’re totally paying for the views and it’s worth every penny.
Michael J southbayfoodies.comJune 23, 2012Get a sweeping view of the Mall -- including the White House -- and classy drinks to boot from the rooftop bar of this swank hotel.
Gilt CityAugust 17, 2011The commitment to mixology at P.O.V extends to every element: even the ice in your drink is customized, in spheres, cubes, spears, or freshly shaved off a giant ice block.
ToryBurchJune 26, 2013The bar at the W Hotel is known for the best views of the city. It is more notable than the hotel itself.
Liz TaylorDecember 12, 2013The service is dreadful, but people put up with it because of the view. Food is pretty good - the cheddar/jalapeño peppers and black pepper shrimp are standouts.
Chris MolitorDecember 20, 2011Called ahead for a birthday dinner and they reserved a special ramble and sent a desert with a sparkler. Love the service...
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 20, 2011The buffet at POV on the roof of the the W Hotel is well thought-out and deliciously gourmet. We gave it an A+!
Ellen S. P.September 27, 2015The view and the cocktails are worth any wait. The food is hit or miss. Olives are great. Charcuterie plate was underwhelming.
Rob AtkinsonFebruary 29, 2016Amazing views across the city. Not as good in winter when the plastic covers are down
Anadila MahbubSeptember 19, 2013Best view of DC so far. Definitely plan to take friends there when they visit.
John HamlinJuly 4, 2015Try to get a table in the quiet lounge if you want to avoid crowds and noise at the bar
Eric CNovember 7, 2014No question that this is the best view in Washington, D.C. Great place for before dinner drinks.
Bar has a decent selection of drinks that are way overpriced. They're good, but with tip you'll pay $20/drink. Definitely paying for the worth it view.- Christopher FlossJune 14, 2015Great views of D.C. at the POV Rooftop. Great place to relax on a Sunday afternoon!
Mikey VillanuevaSeptember 29, 2010Get a reservation well in advance so that you're not standing in the lobby wishing you were having drinks and enjoying an excellent view of DC.
- Bunny MesmerOctober 24, 2010Pricey Brunch, but, all u can drink Bellini or bloodies if your in the mood :) views of DC are the best in the neighborhood
Naptown 💪 LarryJanuary 2, 2012P.O.V. is one of D.C.'s most popular destinations, hosting top celebrities, politicos and socialites, while providing unsurpassed views of the nation’s capital.
