Public Bar Live

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.

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!

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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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!

Best salsa spot by far and large in DC. Great on Wednesdays (salsa con candela), Fridays is a mixed bag - just not the same dance crowd.

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.

Love this bar! We had so much fun on the rooftop on Saturday. It’s definitely a vibe and one of the BEST HOT SPOTS in the city. The staff was so friendly and service was great!
Get a VIP table so you don’t have to wait in line. The bottle girls are the best and know how to party. Tables sell out super quick so reserve them early or they’ll put you on their waiting list.

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

My friends and I love Public Bar! The music is always great and the service is wonderful but honestly what sets it apart from similar establishments is ABBEY. She is always so lovely and welcoming, and I know that this is universal because my friends have ALL independently felt the same. If she’s working your table she is attentive, super fun and just meets you where you’re at—I’ve never felt pressured to do anything differently or into buying certain things.

That’s all to say if you’re ever at Public, or decide to get a table, request Abbey! It’s hard to go wrong at Public but I can promise you’ll have a wonderful time with the best vibes

This place is so fun and lots of different beverages to pick from! Going during the day Saturday was a good choice! It seemed like a couple events were going on where people were celebrating something and getting bottle service so that made the place have even more energy (bubbles, signs every couple of minutes, DJ, beach ball thrown, etc). Only con is that the rooftop deck is not stiletto friendly, ladies you WILL get your heel stuck between the planks; you have been warned. Cheers!

The Bartenders Were Really Nice On Open Bar Day Nd It Was Turnt Up

My mom and I enjoyed a night out on the Rooftop while my daughter attended a local concert. Everyone was so polite and friendly. The bartenders were awesome and so was the female security guard that helped me to safely escort my mom down the stairs. The music kept us dancing and the wings were delicious. We were only in town for the weekend from North Carolina, but if we come back I'd like to turn-up again at Public Bar Live!

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 🙅🏽‍♂

My artwork is there and they are going to be the #1 goto sports bar in DC. Plan your next party to be held there.

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

The best Sport Bar - Happy Hour

Tons of great TV's. Went to watch the World Cup, and had a nice time. Not sure how the beer selection was, but wings were above average. Great location.

Surprisingly legit sports bar (lots of TVs)that doubles as a music venue. Wings are very good as well as other bar fare we tried. Rooftop as well as a stage over the upstairs bar gives a lot of cool and unique features compared to your average spot. Trish the bartender is also the best bartender I have encountered in DC in years.

Public Bar Live, I think I love you. Servers were SO fantastic in making sure we had a great time, management was so pleasant in answering questions, and food was great. Also great health precautions - a uv light walkthrough, temp checks, hand sanitizer... I felt safe and comfy. See you guys again soon!

Fun energetic. Different floor for different music. bartenders are great and you can get food too. If your in the 18th street area worth checking it out.
