Reviews
Fantastic venue in all seasons. Great crew from bachata brunch and staff that work at Public Bar Live are professional. Security is never an issue and amazing atmosphere fulfilling a easy going social dancing all night long. Don't miss out it's worth the visit and if dancing isn't your scene it's an amazing sports hangout with multiple screens and never miss a game.
Best salsa spot by far and large in DC. Great on Wednesdays (salsa con candela), Fridays is a mixed bag - just not the same dance crowd.
This place is one of my favs places in DuPont Circle area. They always have a great offer in Live Music or Dj’s. They have a great sport games offer too. Very friendly and kind service.
The venue has two different floors and a rooftop. All of those with full bar and great ambients. Always is a joyful and fun experience to be there!
100% recommend!

Great live music, pleasant people, and no cover charge!
If you like 90s/00s Rock N' Roll- this is the place to be on Friday Nights! Live music bands such as The Hillwoods, Lush, etc. perform here, and it's a blast.
Going to miss this place when I move out of DMV!
Amazing Bar with an Incredible Rooftop, the atmosphere is inviting, the staff very professional and the drinks are AMAZING!!! the Blue Drink they serve at Bachata Brunch Sundays on the rooftop is addictive yiu can not just have 1 lol. The Vibe and people were great can not wait to go back on a Sunday and Dance my Sunday away. I felt like I was in Miami or somewhere different. The new looks of the black and Pink Flower wall was spectacular, and that glass Rooftop in the summer will be open they say and like we are in the sky. I Highy recommend going on a Sunday or any weekend to Public Bar Live in Dupont circle. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Came here for the Panama-USA Gold Cup Semi-Finals. They had two floors playing the game, one in English and one in Spanish. It was great that there was a place to experience both. We ended up on the floor with Spanish audio and had a great time overall. Alex was our bartender and he was amazing! The salsa/bachata dancing on the floor below had some competing audio, but wasn’t an issue until later in the night. My only complaint was that after 9pm the volume of the floor below overpowered the speakers where we were watching the game. However, the overall vibe was good and it was a great place to watch a game, socialize, get food/drinks, and enjoy an evening.
Paid $50 for open bar on Eventbrite - there was no music, the bartenders seemed confused about the promotion, and there were 40,000 gnats flying around. One star for potential! I’m super disappointed.
Came here during a bar crawl just for drinks. Fun vibe with relatively quick bartenders. Multi-level with lots of stairs. Rooftop area has a cute flower wall along one side.
