Deco - Washington

Great place. Easy to eat! Big crowd! Many seats. I enjoyed it here very much!

For the first time after work for a fast happy hour. The drinks were great, but the stand for me was the short Rib Nachos. I usually don't order nachos, but literally couldn't stop eating them! Also went back and ordered some wings that were also quite good! Because this is close to the Capital One Arena, depending on events, it can be super packed and I'm sure the parking spaces would be hard to find. If you are a sports fan, they have several TVs to watch the games on!

First off, two appetizers, 1 Moscow mule, and 1 coke all cost $72 after tip. It was crazy about me. The first time the bartender made the Moscow mule, the drink wasn't even a Moscow mule and I had to ask myself to make my drink new. The second drink was only incubators and ice cream. The wings were not very saucy. The vegetables were soft, not fresh. We ordered the Barbacoa quesadilla, but somehow we got the nachos. The cheese tasted like microwave cheese and the only taste on the plate came from the guacamole. Because how sad this food was for this price, no thanks.

I visited Bar Deco for the first time the other night before a Wizard game. The host/degree was polite and welcoming. He led me over the elevator to the bar. The bar is long and narrow but comfortable; typical of establishments in DC. When I arrived at 540, there weren't too many people, so I just found a place to join the bar with seats for my friends. The bartender who served me was really friendly and we could share some little jokes until my friends met me. I ordered the Winter Sangria twice what I really liked. Good flavors, not too sweet and definitely gave me a beautiful buzz in the arena. I also had the Mac Burger who is a beautiful game on a Big Mac. It was really good, but unfortunately it was only cooked a little more than I asked. My friend had the same feedback in her classic burger, but that didn't prevent us from eating the whole thing. I was pleasantly surprised with the fries here. I didn't know what to expect, but I loved the thick cut, wedge style. It was good and still crispy. My other friend has the wings he liked, but we didn't find much mango taste... just spiciness. They finally got the king's layer, the old fashion and the house red. They all liked their drinks and we all agreed that we would probably come back! Good happy hour specials, great music and very good service. An important note: They add 20% congratulation to all their invoices, so note that if you pay out. While I definitely don't agree that 20% will be added automatically to all parties, this time I don't mind because I think our bartender deserves it. I should have had her name. She was a blonde, white woman working on Monday night. Such a pleasant, professional and funny person.

Good food and drinks.The staff were sweet and attentive, and we had a great time overall.The place had *mandatory* gratuity around 18-20%, which I'm not fond of
