Wonderful bar in a historic hotel. The tenders were very personable and attentive. I had three drinks, all completely different and really adored them. The round bar makes it a great place for meeting and chatting with the other patrons.

Great place to have a drink and relax in the bar or lobby.

Enjoyed a celebratory Christmas Eve drink at the Round Robin bar. The bar was quite full, but guests were allowed to take their drink and enjoy it in the lobby, which was perfect for Christmastime.

Cocktails are on the expensive side as expected.

Perfect place to get your Christmas cheer on! Of course I had the mint julep because duh, that’s what they are known for and it did not disappoint. The dirty martini was also great. Loved all of the decorations they had going on, got me right in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend!

This is my favorite bar in DC. It's truly elegant. You can tell why Mark Twain and Abraham Lincoln loved this bar. It gives you the feeling as if you drinking in the oval office. I would recommend showing up at 4 when they open as it gets difficult to get a bar seat as it fills up with the movers and shakers of Washington. Both the food and the staff are also excellent. I love everything about this bar.

Great cocktails. Known for their old-fashioned (claiming history back to Henry Clay introducing the drink to the bar that stood there in the mid 1800s), other mixed drinks were very flavorful. Pricey (think $20 and up for a cocktail), but worth a stop into the Willard Intercontinental for a drink at The Round Robin.

Oh if those walls could talk! As the second oldest bar in DC, you can feel the history when you walk in. The atmosphere matches it's prestige but the service was absolutely lovely. The drinks are quite pricey, but worth one for the experience. And mine was delicious. It is quite a small room tucked inside the Willard so just be aware space can be limited.

Beautiful location and you can almost smell the wheeling and dealing happening throughout the room. The patrons are enjoyable and everyone is vying for a seat at the bar. The wine list is fine, not spectacular as this appears to be a spot for people to go, have a glass of wine or a cocktail and then continue in with their evening. I enjoyed the spot and wouldn’t hesitate to go back the next time I’m in town. The Intercontinental Hotel is beautiful and The Round Robin is nestled off of the main entrance. Bartenders keep things moving pretty quickly.

Beautiful cocktail bar located in central D.C. The servers were very polite and made the refreshments promptly. This is a nice place to stop around the national mall for an adult beverage. The bar is round and located in the beautiful Intercontinental Willard Hotel. I recommend you visit to see the large marble slabs, elegant chandeliers and bountiful pompous D.C. tourists.
Cheers 🍻.
