Some friends and I went here to watch the Super Bowl. I loved that fact that is has TVs all over and is multi-leveled. I tried the mozzarella sticks, chipotle BBQ & sriracha honey wings, and a mule. The mozzarella sticks came out cold like they never got dropped. They were nice about bringing out a new batch but it took forever. When the new order came, the middle of the cheese had no pull but the edges did. I just kept them. The wings were a good consistency. We couldn't tell which wings were which but they were both good. The drink wasn't good at all. I think because they don't use fresh ginger beer & the "lime"came out of the spout as well. The overall vibe was decent until they cut the audio to the game and started playing music. I understand that it's part-club/lounge but the ppl were there to see the NFL festivities not quite shake a tail-feather, especially during the game. I guess people complained because they turned the audio back on but when they did it again in the 3rd quarter, we'd had enough and left to finish watching elsewhere. It was a decent spot overall.

This may become one of my go tos to watch sports. I was able to go here to watch the men's basketball USA gold game. It was a nice crowd in there.They do have a limited food options so I just got the wings and fries.If I go again I would just get the wings.The staff is nice and very attentive.They have multiple levels. However It is a bit dark going in there. I feel they should turn the lights on and make some of the areas more inviting.They have a rooftop too. I expect this to be a spot during football season.Please forgive me I forgot to take photos

Came on a Sunday afternoon to meet some friends, to watch the football gamesI walked from the Farragut North Metro Station North Entrance metro. Took me a little less than 10 mins. There was also surprisingly sporadic street parking availableYou have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to restuarant. There was a live DJ playing NOLA bounce music in during commercials until about 2pm.Food and drinks were okay. Order all food and drinks at the bar. Leave your card with bartendar if you want it open. Food is sent to your table.Chicken Tenders and waffles were good

It's a decent spot to watch a game but the drinks are overpriced and the burgers are frozen, disgusting patties. For $15 I expected at least a fresh burger...

Went here for barcrawlnation taco & margs!!! The advertisement was miss leading. Spent 64.99 per person vip still don't know what was vip! You get 3 3oz margaritas and two terrible tacos. What we received wasn't $130.00 worth of food and drinks. The meat was chewy not edible at all. To folks who look forward to going don't spend 64.99. Just purchase general admission and drink for discounted price. I only gave 2 stars because the margaritas were tasty!

Was a great place to watch a world cup game. At least for world cup and NFL games there were two separate floors both with game sound on. Had a few beers which I thought were average price for downtown DC. Had a ton of tvs on both levels. They setup the world cup game on their big screen projector. They also had it on every smaller tv around the third floor bar.Staff we're nice right as I walked in they let me know it was NFL on the 2nd and world cup on the third. Manager checked on is a few times to make sure everything was going well and if we needed anything.My friends got some wings said it was good but pretty standard.All around a good experience.

This was a fine place to watch the US play Iran. Scads of screens with sofas and small tables. Reasonable set of beers. I had already had lunch so I did not get anything to eatThe fans were lively but not especially knowledgeable -- I tried to get the crowd going with the "I believe" cheer and only one person joined in

Normally I have a great time here. I've been coming allSeason to support my friends team (saints). Each time I always order the chicken tenders. Same thing this time. I always ask for barbecue sauce, and each time I'm given honey mustard and ketchup. So I have to ask, again, for barbecue. I ask for 3 they bring 3.This time however, I do my normal request and I'm told I have to pay an extra $.50 for the two barbecue sauces. I just paid $17 for chicken tenders. Why would I be asked to pay extra for sauce! You give one container, half filled, for four large tenders. You know it's not enough when you put it on the plate. I was shocked. I asked for a manager, she promised to bring me at least one additional sauce which I NEVER received. The food here is not good enough to be charged extra for sauce at those prices when you don't provide enough in the first place. Update: the manage stated she asked the kitchen staff to bring me additional sauce. After waiting 30 min I received none. I had only finished half the food due to not having enough. So I asked for a partial refund. I paid cash $20. $17 for food $3 tip.She told me she could not give me a partial refund. I said well it's not fair to ask for a full one, but do what you need to, as she was about to refund the entire meal. Then she says well, do you want the sauce? I said I wanted the sauce an hour ago when I ordered. Now my food is cold and I no longer want it. She asked me if I wanted them to reheat the food and bring it back with sauce. I declined. This entires situation seemed a bit much over $1 worth of sauce. So instead of the refund, she instead gives me another drink.Instead of providing the customer with $1 worth of sauce it made more sense to give them free alcohol. Let's just say I won't be ordering food here any longer. If I bother to return.

Public Bar Live is a multi-level club with dancing. The bar reeked marijuana. I was surprised that people could smoke marijuana joints in this club. There was a rude lady that was hogging the bar even though she already received her drink. We asked the bartender for mixed drinks with melon liqueur and pineapple juice but were given shots instead.

Would give it zero stars I could. Lady at the front is stupid and doesn't know what she's doing and would not offer us a refund for her mistake and for being misleading. Do not come here. $7 drinks and is basically just juice.
