This is one of the best venues I've found to host a large group event in DC. Catering & Events Coordinator, Maggie, made planning easy and effortless. Our group of nearly 100 people was able to gather for a party on the second floor, setup for both bar-style mingling and seated eating. I ordered a few (good, affordable) appetizers for the group to share. All other guest ordered counted toward the cost minimum to reserve the space, making it personally easy and affordable for me to host without unnecessary expense. The space (exposed brick, big bay windows) has its own character: nice but not stuffy. Staff members were very attentive and accommodating - even dealing with the large group. Thanks to bartenders (Steph, Jordan, Allie) for great service, and toc captains (Salina, Chris) and Joseph for ensuring the overall great experience. We'll be back!
Such a picturesque spot for a little sunset rooftop drink. Pictured are the views around sunset of the Adams Morgan area. The drinks themselves were typical DC prices and I was a fan of the lychee martini. Would definitely recommend if in the area! It was just really crowded and loud so would caution against those looking for a quiet chill place.
The drinks are high quality, the bartenders are fun and interactive, and nothing beats the rooftop view of Admo
The roof top at Roofers Union gives a great view of the city. Their drink menu is standard. We had some Modelos and sat watching the skyline. The playist was wacky. It was a mix of Eminem and country hits I've never heard before. The vibes were good. People were socializing and having a good time! I would come back again another time.
Haven't been here for a while and on a late Sunday afternoon this is one of the few restaurants on 18th Street that serves food during the in between lunch and dinner hours. They now have a curbside patio seating area set up with colorful long tables and benches which is covered and shaded and a very pleasant place to sit on a hot summer day. Only thing is if seating there instead of in the dining room upstairs this is the downstairs bar area so can only order from the patio bar menu, which is ok with us as there is burger and fish and chips which is exactly what we wanted anyway. Service was good and food came quickly. Price reasonable although not the largest portions. All in all it's a long established nice neighborhood restaurant with reliable food and service.
We got drinks on the rooftop and dinner in the dining hall one floor down. The roof would be SO much better if uncovered... the view from the dinner floor was beautiful - I love the huge windows. The vibe and atmosphere is AMAZING! The service was veryyyyy slow and the food/drinks were good but not amazing - but will 100% be back! The happy hour was solid!
