Lounge 201 - Washington DC

Got a very well made Old Fashion. Bar staff is professional and friendly. Place was clean and well lit. Good selection of whisky. This is probably the best spot for a drink before catching a train. Haven't had a chance to eat yet, but I sure will. Not hard to see from the street.

Lounge 201 has changed a great deal. The new cocktail menu is not as good as the old one, but on the flip side the food is better and cheaper than it was before. Service can be tough when they are busy as well. If you get a chance, their sweet potato fries are absolutely fantastic.

I visited 201 Bar for the first time recently after an event at the Dirksen Senate Office Building. I was there with colleagues, so drinks and appetizers were free. Maybe that's why the drinks were a little weak, but the appetizers (spring rolls, pizza, and caprese kabobs) were pretty yummy. I liked the decor and overall atmosphere. My verdict: I would definitely go back if the opportunity presented itself.

Enjoyable atmosphere for Husker games. Family friendly, but bar food is a little pricey. Also, NO changing facilities (Koala Care Changing Station) for those with little ones still in diapers.

For the professional suit and tie crowd. A little calmer than some other Hill bars. But, let a snow day come and it becomes a club. Overall, a decent stop.
