    Cool location and vibe, but $48 for a double Bailey’s is not reasonable at any tourist trap. I’ve had cocktails at Overstory in NYC, Cloudbar in Chicago, The View Lounge In SF, Rooftop at Envoy in Boston, and many many others. Most had better views and libations at more reasonable prices. I’m not sure about what other options may exist in DC, but this seems out of line based on the overall experience.

    You have to be sitting outside by music in order to be seen by your server food & drink menu was limited a little expensive but you don’t get your money’s worth.

    Food was overpriced, smal portions, lacked flavor & was cold! No cocktail available under $28. Ridiculous. View is pretty, but ambiance like any bar, not upscale as one would think. Prices reflect that of a beautiful upscale restaurant, which this is not. Save yourself the time & money.

    We came to the VUE because of the rooftop experience and such a great view (pun intended) of the DC skyline! The fantastic food was a surprise plus. If you visit DC make a reservation for the VUE.
