Off The Record - Washington DC - Photo album
An institution in DC where those in-the-know come to bask in the historic tutelage of politics intersecting the news. Many an important people have come to enjoy power drinks and conversations. The mood upper echelon, the drinks stiff, the food all American faves. Seated deep and dimmed lights give
Whenever I am in the area, I stop by for a drink just to see the seasonal drinks and the coasters. I also love the atmosphere. It gets crowded, so it is best if you get there earlier in the day. It is also walking distance from the White House, so you are in the heart of the city. They also serve fo
What a busy lively place! Located in the lower level of the Hay-Adams... Get there early for a table. Elegant decor with a more mature crowd. The cocktails are on the high end but delicious. Service is slow... but friendly and helpful.
This place is busy! We loved the atmosphere... We would definit
Being across the street from the White House makes it a wonderful location of course. The staff are so very attentive and I especially want to mention Nestor. He goes above and beyond. Delicious cocktails, perfect pub fare with a bit of extravagance. Unique, cool art work.
Located in the basement of the beautiful Hay-Adams hotel, this place is pretty classy. The atmosphere is definitely up scale, but not pretentious. Casual dress is just fine.
The drinks were excellent and they came with a trio of potato chips, really good jelly beans, and assorted olives.

Off the Record is a DC establishment known for being the place where you "can be seen, but not heard"...but from personal experience, it was very very loud and lively. This of course is definitely not a bad thing if you're looking for excitement, but if you're looking for a more refined experience,
We had drinks and a little food. I really enjoyed it here. It was quiet and had a kind of speak easy feel. If you like that, it's worth the stop. Lamb Meat Balls are exceptional. Next time I’ll order two orders. We split the Short Rib Grill Cheese. The sandwich was good. I'd recommend it. The drink
Hay-Adams has two locations on-site to dine. (Lafayette and this place) The Cobb salad was the best thing I had my whole stay there. Not pictured or videoed, Cheeseburger and Early Grey Cheesecake. Cheeseburger comes with a seasoned mayo, like In and Out sauce. Cheesecake was awesome. Service was gr
Located in the basement of Hay Adams Hotel right across from the White House. This is a nice and cozy hidden place here in the city. We visited during the day for lunch and there weren't many people there. It tended to get more crowded and louder around 3pm. We had meatballs, the burger and the shor
Looking for an atmospheric bar/lounge experience? Head to the basement of the Hay Adams and hang out in Off the Record. We sat in a cozy snug and received excellent service. We love loved the political cartoons and drawings throughout the bar. You never know who you’ll see there…we saw a four-star g
We tried all three of the most famous hotel bars in DC. Off the record was our favorite for a number of reasons. First of all it is larger and more bustling than either the Round Robin or the Quill. Secondly the quality of the drinks and the uniqueness of the drinks set it apart. Also the bar snacks
Off the Record was a very expensive place to stop for a few drinks in Washington DC. In addition to being very pricy, the service was painfully slow. But, I still gave it 5 stars which might be confusing. That’s because the bathrooms were a great place to snap a quick selfie and let people know you
The vibe here is excellent and really does feel like a bit of a retreat in a sense. Love the political theming and the art featured. The restaurant and bar areas are actually fairly spacious and there are TVs at the bar. The decor is beautiful and comfortable too. Drinks were expensive but well-craf
I had a great experience at Off the Record recently. The drinks were of high quality and the service was quick and efficient. Although I didn't try their food, the complimentary snacks they provided were delicious.
Overall, it was a pleasant visit and I would highly recommend stopping by for a drin
What can I say? Amazing, amazing, amazing!
Daughter took us on our visit to DC. Pear martini is oh so yummy! Lobster rolls. Potato croquettes , wedge salad! The staff is incredible! Can’t say enough about the experience! Must go
We loved this hidden bar, just a perfect "speak easy" located in front of the White House. Decor is very fancy, lighting is dark, all red walls with caricatures of politicians. Bartender was friendly, and we got some great cocktails. Perfect the end of a date, nice cousy space for great conversat
Off the Record is one of my most favorite bars in the DC area. The ambiance of the location and the talent of the bartenders always provide the best of experiences. The drinks are always tasty and strong while the bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The speakeasy vibes are also very fun, e
One of the greatest bar experiences of my life! Great cocktails, beautiful ambiance, and a trumpet serenade to boot! What a special place.
