When they didn't have the ingredients to make the drink I ordered, the bartender made something similar, and it was excellent. Thanks, Brendan! The view was also amazing, and we're already excited to visit here when we come back to DC.

View is fine, drinks are overpriced, and service is horrendous. We had to go to the counter to pay our check and the person in charge called my friend who was paying an expletive. Very unprofessional.

The elevator going up to the bar is also incredibly slow. Too crowded and food smell overpowers the entire bar you leave smelling like frying oil. One star for the view.

My first time at Whiskey Charlie on the Wharf. Chill ambiance and music is hip hop which fits. I don’t understand the giant projector screen showing a sports game as your a whiskey specialty drink bar not a sports bar so it clashes with the decor and identity. I expected a more jazz like feel but it still works. Though the space is small if it was crowded it still works. The menu options are few so it’s definitely a spot for a cocktail and something small to go with so if you’re looking for a bigger meal this wouldn’t be my recommendation. Definitely good if you’re looking for an after dinner or just an evening out to have a drink. My servers name was Jordan and he was very friendly, professional, and attentive. I think staff probably could benefit on knowledge of whiskeys, Rums, etc etc as your charging anywhere from 18-50 plus dollars a drink so if your attempting to educate a customer on whiskey and get a higher potential sale or create an experience that may lead the customer to chose a more expensive option then having well trained staff helps add to the experience and may lead the customer to purchasing something based off your recommendation (just from a sales background). The big belly dish was good could’ve been great but the bread/roll on it was dry and was shaped like taco but broke apart (making it messy/clumsy). Overall presentation of food and drink was good. I chose an old fashioned and it was the best part of the evening especially since it wasn’t filled with ice cubes and an orange slice lol as many places do. You pay for the experience just like everywhere in DC. I would’ve gave it 5 stars but the changes their menu recently and maybe they will add an additional item or two i.e. the chicken wings. The other reason it gets 4 stars is their patio is closed until further notice when really I feel is the best part of this place since it looks out on the Potomac. You can apparently sit out on the pool deck which I have not done, but for now 4 stars and maybe if/when I return 5. There is definitely room for improvement and if your providing high end spirits and cocktails be able to explain/sell them/add to the experience. Overall it’s worth a visit even if it’s just for a cocktail before or after dinner.

The view from up here is fabulous, I enjoyed sitting up here so much. The drinks were good, a little e pensive maybe but with the view and the patio it was worth it. The hubs and I just relaxed and enjoyed, a great way to end a day of running around.

A very cool rooftop bar just overlooking the marina! The vibes were amazing, staff super friendly and prompt. We were a group of 7 and we just walked in (first come first serve). The views are amazing! They serve a quite good variety of drinks with not so much options of food as it’s not a restaurant, but we had flatbread pizza, marinated olives, ahi tuna salad and they were great. Recommended!

I will start by saying this penthouse bar has a beautiful view of the Potomic River and the Wharf Marina. This alone, and the company I was with made my time at Whiskey Charlie very enjoyable. Although the bar, and view were both lovely there wasn't much space to enjoy the bar. It was a very small conservative area that just happened to be a little loud and crowded during my visit there. It was more open, and less crowded on the patio, but some of the guest were very boisterous, and at moments overwhelming. It had somewhat more of a club feel than a luxury bar experience as far as guest were concerned. I would have loved to have been offered more options in alcohol beverages, and a few more fire pits would have been a nice touch. There were only two fire pits among the guest there. You will definitely be sharing your space, and time with the other people visiting the bar, so your visit there may be more of a social experience than personal time with your partner or guest. FYI: The first pic was taken before other guest had arrived.

Stunning view! They did not have all the Whiskey/ drinks listed on their menu, honestly their selection was much smaller than advertised. The price of their cocktails was surprising as they used very cheap Whiskey / general alcohol. The staff were great, and they helped navigate the lacking menu. There are very few seats, but again, for the view it's worth standing room only!

This bar in my opinion has one of the top ten rooftops in DC. The view to the wharf waterfront and beyond is amazing. You can catch a nice sunset here. As far as the quality of food and cocktails go, this place serves you something good. The prices however are above average in DMV area.
