D.C. visitors and locals flock to this speakeasy-themed roof terrace where daybeds and red banquettes inspire socializing and secret sharing.
Here’s one “point of view” (for which the bar’s name – POV – stands for) that DC politicos and power brokers can finally agree upon: the W Washington, D.C.’s rooftop terrace affords unrivalled panoramas of our nation’s capital, from the energized East Wing of the White House to the evocative Washington Monument, National Mall, and Jefferson Memorial. Reborn from the same space of the former Hotel Washington’s famed Sky Terrace, the balcony bar now features sexy red-velveteen banquettes and black-and-white cushioned day beds. Be prepared for long lines at this stylish hot spot, where a speakeasy-themed drink menu by acclaimed New York City bar owner Sasha Petraske complements the scenery. Indoors, an upscale lounge for DC’s elite features nightly DJs and light tapas fare with a menu designed by master chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten; floor-to-ceiling windows frame the iconic views.
