Wild Days

I was waiting to be seated at allegory. The elevator man informed me that there was a rooftop bar with a chill vibe.It was awesome. Not busy yet as it was only 10pm and it was a clubby vibe. It got busier as I chilled. A few people were dancing. I liked it because the music was good and it was just comfy and unassuming. I walked around the rooftop. Had a drink. And everything was grand. Only complaint is the price. $30 for a crown and coke is absurd, even in trendy urban places.Otherwise it was great and it was a perfect chill spot until my seat was ready downstairs.

I came to wild days on a Thursday night with some friends. The drinks were a little overpriced but we would definitely come back for happy hour. The outside patio is nice and has a fireplace and lots of seating. There was a DJ and good music. A good place for a date or just to hang out with friends.

I finally stopped by Wild Days for the first time since the Covid pandemic, and I don't know what happened but the service seems to have diminished. We stopped by for happy hour and were seated immediately since we had a reservation, but also there didn't seem to be a wait. The inside is still similar and really nice looking, but the cocktail we had was so so bad, neither me nor my friend could take more than 3 sips of it - it was called panda panda and I'm not sure if it was just supposed to taste so awful. Then, we ordered the pibil chicken tacos, which was so dry and barely tasty. Unfortunately I don't know what was happening at the bar or kitchen, but it wasn't giving anything on that day. However, the ambiance was still really welcoming, and the staff was kind and helpful, I just wished that the refreshments were as pleasant.

The music/dj is always so good here it's a shame the drinks are so expensive. A lemon drop shot for $30 is not worth it my opinion so my advice is to drink elsewhere and come for the music and dancing. Also there's couches throughout but you can't sit at any of them because they are strictly reserved for bottle service. However, I have yet to see anyone get bottle service. Probably because it's so expensive. Not sure how this place is making money. So I give this place three stars, but only for the good music and no cover charge.

Sadly there isn't much to say about this place during happy hour. The drinks are fair but their bar services is horrible. They seemed to have hired the slowest and most unprofessional folks whose attitudes are appalling. Why are you behind the bar if you aren't able to charge people for the correct items? Why are there 5 people behind the bar, laughing and talking with each other, while guests wait to be serviced-and even that was record-breaking for longest wait time to be given a tasteless drink. Ambiance is cute! Very nice rooftop. But that's where it stops. Also, please do not come here with a desire to grab some small bites, the menu is very limited and not worth the carbs. Would I return? Someone told me to give them a try when they have a DJ and themed party. But, I would probably go somewhere else for drinks because their bar service is the worst and maybe they need to invest in actual bartenders with manners and a sense of mixing drinks. I won't waste my time!

Reserved a large group here 3 weeks ago. They just cancelled due to another larger party, now I have to scramble and find a new place for my large party with days until my event. Really poor service. I will be sure to let my company know as we spend a lot of money at the hotel. Really disappointing.

This place was so delightful. As a first time visitor I must say the DJ, ambiance, and drinks were on point. Haize the bartender made my cocktail to perfection. Customer service was excellent & I would definitely come here again. 10/10 experience for anyone trying to enjoy a lowkey rooftop experience. Great for a night out with friends or date night.

On the hunt for a rooftop bar for a very special event, Wild Days came up in my searches. It's on the rooftop of Eaton Hotel -- heard of it before?? Yes, it's the same hotel that houses Allegory, one of the many hidden speakeasies in DC. I had made a reservation online for this special event, but wanted to make sure we could sit outside since there wasn't an option for that. One thing you should know about this place is that it's hard to get in touch with anyone -- they don't have their own phone, and I had been given multiple emails that all bounced back when I tried to ask a question. So, one time I was in town to meet up with a friend, I decided to swing by this place to get all my questions answered. I made my way up to the rooftop, and the hostess was super polite and accommodating. She answered all my questions and made sure that we got our outside slot. In the meantime, I decided to indulge in their happy hour. Gotta make sure their drinks are good for this special event right?? Their happy hour is from 5-6 during the week -- literally an hour lol -- and they have a small handful of creative cocktails. When I sat at the bar, I looked around and loved the vibe of the place. It was bright with the sun coming in, and there were tables spread out around the area. I could see where the DJ performs (comes every Saturday night) and the outdoor area. From the bar I could see what views are possible from the outdoor area, and it looked awesome! Back to the bar, I was greeted by the bartender and got to try two of their creative cocktails:So Fresh, So Clean - I really enjoyed this refreshing one, which had gin, cucumber, sherry and lime in it. Ain't No Rest For The Wicked - It was a bourbon-based drink spiced up with vanilla and dram, and it was delicious, but a very different mood from the above.I didn't try any food on this occasion, but was pleased with my experience, and looking forward to the special event.Fast forward to the night, a party of 9 of us arrived right on time for our reservation, and I skipped ahead upstairs just to make sure everything was okay. We were good to go, so I signaled the rest to come upstairs, and we got the very edge of the outdoor seating -- it almost felt private, and it was beautiful! We shared cocktails, shooters and shots (again no food), and everyone was very happy, especially the man of the hour.Prices were on par for a rooftop bar, and the vibes were everything I had hoped for. I do need to come back and try the food, but otherwise... I loved the heck out of this place. I also gotta check that speakeasy.

The live music and ambiance was good so I'll give them 2 stars for that. The problem was that the service was horrible and our waitress gave herself a 22% tip when she rang our cards. I think I should decide what to tip especially when the service is bad. What exactly was so bad about the service? Well, I had to flag our waitress down to put in an order after a long wait, and hardly saw her after that. In my limited interaction with her, she had an attitude. And she didn't just roll her eyes at me, she rolled her eyes at my friends as well. That being said, I'm giving them zero stars for service.Another issue was the refreshments. Their menu didn't have a lot of options and when I asked to order their "wake up" cocktail the waitress said they ran out of the ingredients for that. Then when I asked to order wings the waitress said they ran out of wings. I ended up ordering a few lemon drops, which by the way were over priced ($30 each) and mediocre. I didn't eat anything but my friend got a chicken sandwich, which to my surprised had potato chips on the side --I don't know who they think they're fooling but I know yellow bag lays potato chips when I see em. Zero stars for refreshments!

Good views, good was ok, service was ok. The place has a ton of potential but I guess it's a hit or miss on some nights/days. Private events crowd visitors out.
