We stopped in for food and to watch the Eagles game, and this place did not disappoint. The manager was incredibly accommodating and made sure the TV closest to us was playing the game we wanted. The kids had a blast in the arcade, which was a huge bonus. The food was absolutely delicious! To top it all off, our server, Gio, was outstanding. He truly went above and beyond. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, especially the gluten-free options, and was friendly, fast, and attentive, checking on us often. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I enjoyed the pizza. I loved the way it was made. As for pretzel, it was a solid pretzel but I’ve had better. Then I would say, in comparison to other times I came when it was somewhat busy, it was overwhelmingly busy. This caused my entire table to almost miss out on drinks we paid for and wait nearly an hour after we ate to get the check. It seemed like the server, on numerous occasions, kept forgetting about my table while people who came in after my group got their food and check then left before we finally got our drinks and checks. I get that this place may have been understaffed due to holidays. But they have got to do better if they want at minimum a 20% tip. Other than that, I have had better service all the other times I’ve been to this place, and this is just the first time the service was subpar.

Boardwalk Bar & Arcade at The Wharf is that SPOT! I’m in love with their frozen drinks! I come here for the vibes and always forget to order food because the drinks be so good. The frozen cocktails are smooth and good! You get your drink, sit at the bar, and just vibe out while watching the games or people walking by the water. And I gotta shout out Keyonna at the bar she is the absolute best! Always smiling, super helpful, and you can tell she loves what she does. She gives good energy every time I come through, and it really makes the experience even better. I love that for her and love that for me! The décor is fun and beachy, plenty of seating, and the music + arcade setup in the back gives it that playful touch. Whether you’re out with friends or just need a solo moment to sip and chill, Boardwalk Bar is it! If you’re at The Wharf and not stopping by here you’re doing it wrong🤷🏾♀️💕

What a fun place for all ages. A play area for children, arcade games and delicious food for all ages and a full bar for the adults. Loved the fun decor. Clean restrooms, easy accessibility, on the beautiful Wharf in DC. We got cocktails flights and all the drinks were good. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Our food was also good.

We had the best time there. The manager Pedro made sure we had everything we needed. I stayed at a hotel very close and came back everyday. My kids and my husband had the best time with the arcade and HH. They are super accommodating with the kids. Definitely worth your white!
