    The management/ownership remain dedicated to the safety and satisfaction of all their customers. Really appreciate the time, effort, and consideration they have put into the work they do and how they operate their business, especially throughout the tougher times of the pandemic.

    New expanded rooftop patio for 2021. Frozen drink options. Don't order the pretzel sticks they're serving for the pandemic times, they're not good.

    The Dirty Goose is one of the best gay bars in DC. Their roof top is also one of the best in the city. You will have a wonderful time.

    I asked for a well drink, maybe they don't have those, but we ended up paying $98 for four double mixed drinks (vodka sodas), once tip and tax were included. The 20% service is mandatory now. That is just an incredible amount of money for FOUR vodka sodas. And at most bars it's usually a strong pour that's like a double anyway. I was SHOCKED when the bill arrived and I will absolutely not be going back.

    We were told it was impossible to be seated outdoors on the rooftop unless we had a party of 6 (the maximum allowed under current DC law). Instead we were seated curbside outdoors, where we had to more or less shout to hear each other 2 feet away. We stayed because all other bars were full, but this wasn’t a good experience. I would much rather know up front whether a reservation is curbside or on the rooftop, as these are polar opposite experiences. I tried calling a few times after booking the reservation, but no one ever answered the phone. I also included a request to be seated on the rooftop in my reservation on open table, but no luck. If you have 6 people, and want to have gatherings of 6 people during Covid… then this is a great option, but otherwise eh.
