Whiskey Charlie

Good times at this place. It is small inside but does have a good size outside area. It's part of the Hilton so if you are staying would be good place to start or finish your night. I went right around sunset, so the scene was beautiful as it overlooked the wharf walk, and you can even see the bonfire when it's lit. I didn't have any food, but I heard people saying it was good. I did have a glass of red wine, and my friends had a non alcoholic drink called a dragon fly. She said it was sweet, so if that is what you like while being a DD, this would definitely be for you. It's the wharf, so there is street and parking garage parking. I would definitely go back and looking fwd to trying the outside area when it warms back up

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary in Washington, DC and stayed at a different hotel in Arlington. We decided to check out nearby places for a nice drink and stumbled upon Whiskey Charlie at the Canopy Hotel by the Wharf on Oct 21. We arrived around 9:30 pm via Uber, went upstairs, and ordered a Vodka Cosmo and a Vodka Cranberry. After having a quick drink, we checked the bill, which is around $30-40, and we signed it. We left early to explore more spots. To our shock, when we returned from our vacation, we were charged a whopping $464 for just two drinks. I've been trying to reach out to their managers (Babak Pakravan), but they seem to be avoiding my calls and not addressing the issue. I've even disputed the charge through my bank. Charging $464 for two drinks is nothing short of outrageous and feels like fraud. What's even more disappointing is that the Canopy Hotel just took my information and did nothing, with promises of getting the Whiskey Charlie manager to contact me. This experience has left a bitter taste, and I would caution others to be wary of these establishments. What a true shame on you guys. Update——————————————update Christiana(Canopy hotel manager) I wanted to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional assistance in rectifying the mistaken charge on my card because of a typo. Your efforts in resolving the issue were truly commendable, and I appreciate your professionalism and prompt response. Furthermore, your generous offer of a complimentary stay for our next visit is a kind gesture that further reflects the outstanding customer service at Canopy Hotel. Thank you once again for your exemplary service, and I look forward to visiting your establishment in the future.

Love coming here when the weather is nice to enjoy a nice sunset or after dinner spot to grab cocktail drinks with a beautiful view of the city lights at the wharf. You enter the building of the Canopy Hilton hotel and go up the elevator to the top floor. I’ve stayed at this Canopy a few times and having such an awesome night time spot within your hotel is the best! There’s paid garage parking and there’s also valet parking.

My first time at Whiskey Charlie on the Wharf. Chill ambiance and music is hip hop which fits. I don’t understand the giant projector screen showing a sports game as your a whiskey specialty drink bar not a sports bar so it clashes with the decor and identity. I expected a more jazz like feel but it still works. Though the space is small if it was crowded it still works. The menu options are few so it’s definitely a spot for a cocktail and something small to go with so if you’re looking for a bigger meal this wouldn’t be my recommendation. Definitely good if you’re looking for an after dinner or just an evening out to have a drink. My servers name was Jordan and he was very friendly, professional, and attentive. I think staff probably could benefit on knowledge of whiskeys, Rums, etc etc as your charging anywhere from 18-50 plus dollars a drink so if your attempting to educate a customer on whiskey and get a higher potential sale or create an experience that may lead the customer to chose a more expensive option then having well trained staff helps add to the experience and may lead the customer to purchasing something based off your recommendation (just from a sales background). The big belly dish was good could’ve been great but the bread/roll on it was dry and was shaped like taco but broke apart (making it messy/clumsy). Overall presentation of food and drink was good. I chose an old fashioned and it was the best part of the evening especially since it wasn’t filled with ice cubes and an orange slice lol as many places do. You pay for the experience just like everywhere in DC. I would’ve gave it 5 stars but the changes their menu recently and maybe they will add an additional item or two i.e. the chicken wings. The other reason it gets 4 stars is their patio is closed until further notice when really I feel is the best part of this place since it looks out on the Potomac. You can apparently sit out on the pool deck which I have not done, but for now 4 stars and maybe if/when I return 5. There is definitely room for improvement and if your providing high end spirits and cocktails be able to explain/sell them/add to the experience. Overall it’s worth a visit even if it’s just for a cocktail before or after dinner.

A very cool rooftop bar just overlooking the marina! The vibes were amazing, staff super friendly and prompt. We were a group of 7 and we just walked in (first come first serve). The views are amazing! They serve a quite good variety of drinks with not so much options of food as it’s not a restaurant, but we had flatbread pizza, marinated olives, ahi tuna salad and they were great. Recommended!
