The Ritz-Carlton in the heart of historic Georgetown DC has a great lounge and bar area! Great place to go for drinks and even dinner without having to check in to the hotel! The hotel lobby is spacious with open seating areas and a large fireplace against one wall. This area is great for drinks and people watching, might even see some celebrities! Then just around the corner there is a long bar and table seating for many more, away from the lobby and check in area. We ate dinner at the bar, plenty to choose from. Fish Tacos, beef sliders, fried calamari and more. Speciality drink list, enough wines to choose from and selection of beers. Great collection of fine Scotch up on the wall behind our great bartender, John. Also a great place to go for late night drinks. Valet parking but $$. Bathrooms located nearby were clean and nice. My only complaint was I did not like the feel of the bar stools. When I leaned back I felt like I was sliding out of my seat. Expect to spend $50 per person with drinks. Three large screen TV's allowed good March Madness viewing!
