Located on the atrium floor of the Gaylord hotel Harbor Social is the perfect place to grab a drink, a seat and watch the premier game of the day. Last night it was a bit chaotic as I believe there was a cheerleading convention happening at the hotel. There was bowling available as well as another game off to the far right of the restaurant but I couldn't tell what it was because of all the kids. For bowling you have to make a reservation and the other game was first come first serve. The tables are located in front of two wall sized TVs which is cool for but limited if you wanted to come on a Sunday and catch multiple games. Not sure what the bar had to offer but I'm sure it was more variety there. Tables are self serviced so locking down one can be a bit tricky if you're not the aggressive type. Being serviced is even trickier. Our group consisted of roughly 11 people ordering at random so I can't even fault the waitress too much for being in and out. I wish I could remember her name because she really did try her best. Gratuity is tacked on once your party exceeds 5 so keep that in mind. We had a round of shots and I got the West Wings which were a dry rub and were really good and about the most adorable thing on the menu which is 12/$16. If I were in the area and needed somewhere to watch a game I probably would opt for Tom's watch bar instead. Parking at the harbor is terrible so be prepared to pay $20 at minimum if you're there for 3hrs or more.

We connected with another family for an event at the Gaylord in National Harbor and took all the kids (4) to Harbor Social to get something to eat and play some games. The kids got chicken tenders and fries which went over well for them. For the adults we shared the sliders, guacamole and chips, and some truffle fries. Since I was not that hungry I just sampled the guacamole and chips which was good. There were a number of games there including air hockey, pool, darts, cornhole, bocce ball and duckpin bowling. The bowling cost extra but the others were free (you just need to check in with the gamemaster). My oldest (11) and I played a couple rounds of darts then we joined the rest of the crew for bowling. Overall I thought it was a great family spot as there was something there for everyone (including the big screen TVs which had live sports).

We came here after the ICE! event that was happening in the Gaylord and had a great experience. We were easily able to grab seats at the bar for our entire party and able to order some of the holiday festive drinks. We also got some sliders and truffle fries. It took a while for the food to come out, but it was very very busy given the holiday season, so definitely have some grace when going this time of year. It's a great place to relax and catch a drink. You can also hear the holiday music and see the Christmas lights change in the front of the hotel when sitting at the bar. Overall makes for a great experience.

Fun place to watch a game...or play a game...or just enjoy a drink. We were staying at the Gaylord and wanted a nightcap before retiring to the room for the evening. The bartenders were great, the atmosphere was social, and they can make some amazing drinks! I forget what their "specialty drink" was, but they were making a vat of it right next to us and let us have a taste.....and it was amazing! The folks that work here pretty obviously enjoy their job, and it shows. If you go and you drink liquor, try the house special. These guys know what they're doing!

I thoroughly enjoyed my food, drinks & experience at Harbor Social! As you enter, there's a 'game master' & LeRoy was the designated game master for this particular Friday evening. He was super kind, fun & welcoming. I sat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned from my bartender & server of the evening, Dieter, who was super attentive and makes one heck of a good old fashioned (pictured). For food, I was debating between the Politician & the Harbor Social Wing It wings (also pictured). I decided to go with the wings & did NOT regret my decision one bit. They were cooked perfectly, but if you don't like spicy, choose something else, because they are spicyyyyy ! As far as the environment, I arrived around 8:45pm & stayed past 9:45pm & it was cool, pretty chill for the most part - there's free games like bowling & darts. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for sure!!
