We have been there twice, wants to hang out on the rooftop at the top of the gate which has very nice views and the other time having a few drinks at the next whiskey bar. the last time we were there which was the day after Christmas December 26th we went up to the top of the gate because my in-laws were in town and we thought that they would enjoy the views and the drinks. Unfortunately, we got there early at about 4 and we're waiting for the bartender to turn around and talk to us and she was kind of rude and said that the bar wasn't open until 5. so we went back downstairs and had some well overpriced drinks including $9 beers out of a bottle.

If you are familiar with DC, it kind of reminds me of McFadden's where they're trying to be upscale by having a bathroom attendant in the bathroom selling cigarettes and mouthwash and all that kind of stuff. The cost of drinks is not worth the ambiance.
