Fantastic venue in all seasons. Great crew from bachata brunch and staff that work at Public Bar Live are professional. Security is never an issue and amazing atmosphere fulfilling a easy going social dancing all night long. Don't miss out it's worth the visit and if dancing isn't your scene it's an amazing sports hangout with multiple screens and never miss a game.

This place is one of my favs places in DuPont Circle area. They always have a great offer in Live Music or Dj’s. They have a great sport games offer too. Very friendly and kind service.
The venue has two different floors and a rooftop. All of those with full bar and great ambients. Always is a joyful and fun experience to be there!
100% recommend!

Amazing Bar with an Incredible Rooftop, the atmosphere is inviting, the staff very professional and the drinks are AMAZING!!! the Blue Drink they serve at Bachata Brunch Sundays on the rooftop is addictive yiu can not just have 1 lol. The Vibe and people were great can not wait to go back on a Sunday and Dance my Sunday away. I felt like I was in Miami or somewhere different. The new looks of the black and Pink Flower wall was spectacular, and that glass Rooftop in the summer will be open they say and like we are in the sky. I Highy recommend going on a Sunday or any weekend to Public Bar Live in Dupont circle. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great live music, pleasant people, and no cover charge!
If you like 90s/00s Rock N' Roll- this is the place to be on Friday Nights! Live music bands such as The Hillwoods, Lush, etc. perform here, and it's a blast.
Going to miss this place when I move out of DMV!

Came here for the Panama-USA Gold Cup Semi-Finals. They had two floors playing the game, one in English and one in Spanish. It was great that there was a place to experience both. We ended up on the floor with Spanish audio and had a great time overall. Alex was our bartender and he was amazing! The salsa/bachata dancing on the floor below had some competing audio, but wasn’t an issue until later in the night. My only complaint was that after 9pm the volume of the floor below overpowered the speakers where we were watching the game. However, the overall vibe was good and it was a great place to watch a game, socialize, get food/drinks, and enjoy an evening.

Came here during a bar crawl just for drinks. Fun vibe with relatively quick bartenders. Multi-level with lots of stairs. Rooftop area has a cute flower wall along one side.

Great venue with a small yet pleasant rooftop. The music is excellent and was played at the right volume. The bartenders and the staff were very polite. I would say that it's growing as one of my favorite spots in the area for taking out friends and enjoying a night out.

It was a nice place and environment. Music was good but it was crowded and it was really hot. They need better air flow. Overall good

Love coming here on the weekends to enjoy a good game or just hang with friends. They have 3 floors and a rooftop bar. Stopped by recently for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised they had an extensive HH menu

Hey Public Bar. I go every Wednesday for salsa con candela. I love your bar but I just wanted to point out that Orlando Machuca is by far the best instructor in the DC area and you’re doing a disservice to your patrons and especially to the Latin dance community by not having him teach EVERY Wednesday. The other instructors are okay but they just don’t match up to Lando. Please invite him to come teach us every Wednesday!!! Thanks.

You're always going to have a great time. Love the staff

Honestly, security is always friendly and understanding. I never felt attitude or arrogance from the staff or crew. Place is a solid time, especially during the latin scene. Can't same the same for places like TSR 🙅🏽♂️

Come for the games, not the vibe, service or offerings. Wings actually weren't bad but the drink was very limited to mostly cheap beer and liquor! All the games were on and staff was super helpful getting the game you wanted where you could see it... Mine happened to be on the big screen with audio playing, so that was sweet!
Tyrene Reed
I was there on accident to watch the game and didn't know there was a whole club upstairs with my first round draft pick, Spanish women. Such a cool environment, good food, good service. I didn't get to enjoy the pretty Spanish women like I wanted to being that I was still dressed in work attire

This place is fun. It was a stop on a bar crawl I participated in. I had a lot of fun. Only issue was the bathroom wait tone but that can easily be attributed to the amount of patrons because of the bar crawl. they have fun straws tho.
Kellee Foster
Had a really good time even though my Atlanta Falcons loss the game. The food and drinks were good. The wait staff was very attentive of cleaning up our table when we were done with each dish.
It was a good crowd watching the game and others participating in a onesies bar crawl, which gave us added entertainment. Was happy when they turned the music off and turned the sound on to the football game!! Overall great time with friends watching the game
Joseph Stanbrook
Had good atmosphere and nice theme three floors the roof top is the best part of it overall a great bar with great service more than pleased would recommend it to anyone!!!
Francisco Grahammer
extremely disappointed!
1. for game nights they should have more staff on the floor, waiting times are too long
2. bartenders need to specify when 20% gratuity is included, printed receipt did not display tip at all. Receipt should clearly display TIP HAS BEEN ADDED under the gratuity section and not leave it blank! Do staff expect to get double tip???
2. Manager was disrespectful when I approached him with the 20% tip not being displayed on my check... I had to ask for the detail receipt, because it was never provided!
R-Lee Adams
Awesome place. UFC is always live for PPVs and this location is great all around.

Came to watch Georgia Game at a self proclaimed UGA Bar and they did not even play the audio. smh. #NextTimeRealUGAbar

I had a wonderful time. One of the best sets I've seen in a while (Asides )...and a beautiful vibe. Only caveat is the bathrooms are pretty terrible. It may also be cool,if there were a few outlets available for charging phones. Other than that,looking forward to another visit.
Billy Mitchell
The soundsystem was up too high for the DnB night. My ears where ringing. Downstairs looks like a typical sports bar. The rooftop is nice tho!
Brian Howard
Great atmosphere, great staff, great food! Looking forward to my next visit!
Brad Taylor
Excellent service! Great atmosphere for the fight. Would definitely recommend.

Michelle Hart-Montgomery
The bathrooms was disgusting, and the menu was blahhhh. Other than that we had a great time. Drinks are good
Sandra DF
Public Bar in DC has the most horrible stuff working outside!!! He just opened my handbag, broken my stuff that was inside and didn't let me in!!! What a shame!!
Fegan Brian
No cover at all tonight... Free entry come jam out and drink
Jan Rothenbacher
Pretty good and nice atmosphere. One star less for the slightly overtasked service. All in all a great sportsbar.
