Whitlows

Good spot to come to have a quick bite with the nightlife. We were looking for a place to have a bite on a Thursday Night, during Howard University Homecoming Week. Whitlow's was open there was a visible rooftop. Also, it was listed on Yelp as an option above 3 stars. We arrived and the ground floor is a diner-like U-shaped dining area of booths and dining counter seating. There was a man doing trivia trivia and some music was automatically playing on a speaker.We ventured upstairs and the rooftop has bar-height tables for 2-4 people. There was a crowd enjoying the Thursday Night Football Game, there are about 5 TVs mounted high. There was a game of cornhole happening right in the middle of the walkway in front of the bar and DJ. The DJ was good. The view from the rooftop is grand. There is a 270 degree view of U Street, the U Street Corridor, Shaw, and a bit of Howard University. You order food across the room with the bartender. We were puzzled because there are 3 men in server uniforms (complete with aprons, Whitlow's shirts, apron towels, and all) that were bussing tables and bringing food and drinks out. We thought that they would come to take our orders. I asked one of them if I could order food (he was socializing with some customers) and he said to order at the har. We walked over and I ordered the Wedge Salad but the bartender said that he was out of those so I changed to a Cobb Salad with Chicken and a red wine. My cousin also placed her food order with white wine. We did not like that the wine was in a plastic cup...BOOOOO!Food was decent, wine was good, view was amazing, and game was nice to have. I may not return but this was a good experience.

This place was super cute and fun! The staff was so attentive, best bartender! She was great!! I went with my friend, they had an event going on, it was called "Tara's Hoot Camp(y) Brunch" the theme was Ms. Roper, we played bingo and watched a drag show!! I ordered the stuffed tater tots, they were good but it wasn't enough (I was hungry) lol so I also order the impossible burger. Over all loved the atmosphere, and all the Ms Ropers!!

On the last Monday night of the year, my fraternity brothers and I gathered at Whitlow's, a multi-story bar for drinks. We enjoyed the Raspberry Ginger Beret and Caribbean Root Beer on the heated rooftop. However, even though the jello shots were only $3, if they only have cherry, don't get it unless you like the taste of Robitussin!

Stopped by to grab a few drinks with friends this afternoon-- pretty standard drinks. They do have brunch specials which seem good, but we just had brunch somewhere else so we didn't order any food. The waitress was quick and friendly, and we really didn't have to wait at all. Plenty of seating throughout!

Let me just start by saying MIKE THE MANAGER WITH THE DARK HAIR & FACIAL Or whomever he is , is very rude. I literally work next door and we give this place discounts all the time and we inquired about the football wings that we ordered last weekend and it was a huge issue because his employees weren't supposed to do it . Why is it my fault. For them to just move to U st and just have a negative mannerism towards your neighbors is crazy. He mentioned while I was speaking with him that we only give them 10% no matter what we give that is not what we are talking so why was that bought up? I ask for the GM name and the server in the pictured lied about who it was but what she fails to realize is that I asked her because whitlows is in Arlington restaurant and guess what I am an Arlingtonian... I don't wanna play the race card but I was the only black person in there asking a question. So let's cut to the point I don't recommend whitlows or Dwight or the girl that lied about whom the GM is! I will be reaching out to the actual GM who is Mike Egan or John Williams because this is crazy and the way Dwight talked to me was not cool or OK. Welcome to U st .

Went to Whitlows after Pride in the evening. The vibe was chill and low key. The server was attentive but also let me and my friend talk and gossip a while. We got drinks and the nachos and loaded potato skins. I got the GLUTEN FREE BUN with an impossible burger. The fries were solid considering what you could get as bar fries. I liked all the food and I loved the espresso martinis. I went to 801 next food didn't get good service and ended up leaving to come here.

Came in here real quick to grab a drink and saw all their wonderful specials. Bring a dc girl I've seen this building when it wasn't whitlows but now I want to experience! It seems as though the night I went they had like a dance class or like trivia or something and I love me a bar mix! Server was kind.

A crowded bar with 3 levels. Level 1 for a chill night, level 2 was empty minus the large line for the famous 3rd floor. Bathrooms on level 2. The bouncer and staff on the 3rd floor were quite nice and we enjoyed the drink wheel option. Drink prices were decent. Definitely for like mid 20s during the day but they have nice TVs on the 3rd floor.

I was there for a birthday party and the band! Music was great! Didn't eat, I order a mixed drink and wow! $13 on topOf it they add the tax after the gratuity that they add to it. I try it explained this to the bar tender but he didn't understand.He reply "I only work here"So yes my bill was a bit $$$If I ever go back it's because I enjoy the music.

Randomly stopped by with a friend Monday @ 9pm. Bright, clean spacious. There is Trivia on Monday nights starting at 7p.We ordered drinks at the bar and moved upstairs to the rooftop. 3rd floor views of the street out-front. Beautiful way to end our evening. TVs in the dining area and rooftop. Bathrooms were clean.
