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!

Beautiful bar in a gorgeous hotel. Very crowded but worth it!

The Round Robin Bar has a long DC history. We go there to celebrate a couple of WWII vets who met there in 1949 and were together for 50 years. It's a fun spot for sure.

Beautiful hotel, great drinks and bartenders. It was surprisingly crowded here on a Thursday night. Could not find enough seating for my party of four. But once we found one open seat at the bar, we had one sit down and the rest crowd around and the bartender professionally and quickly served us. The drinks were great quality but high end prices - expect to pay $20/drink before tip.

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.

The Round Robin Bar has been one of my favorites since I moved to the DC area in 1986. I hadn't been recently, but after seeing it referenced in local writer, Laurence Anthony's "Bear Market Roulette", I was reminded what a wonderful and Iconic DC experience it was. So I went for cocktails with an out of town guest in early August and it was just delightful!

On the way to the WH and saw this place that my friend recommended. Went there with the family to have a cocktail and cool off after riding around. Great history, good service and especially great cocktails. Would definitely go back.

A bucket list destination for any cocktail or history lover. Truly great professional bartenders offering up real hospitality. So glad we got to stop in and experience this beautiful 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.
