Beautiful view . There is plenty of space to hang out without a reservation . (With a reservation , they require a $50 drink minimum per person....seems strange.) They could also do with more umbrellas.

Top of the Gate, one of the District’s most popular rooftop bars at The Watergate Hotel , blends fireside vibes with Instagram-worthy views of the city skyline and nearby Arlington, Va.

The view ! Service at the bar very slow but enjoyed the panoramic view of DC.

The view is amazing. The service is so so. The drinks and small plates are overpriced but still taste good.
