Whitlow's - The Wharf

Legendary neighborhood watering hole and live music bar, Whitlow’s, is finally at The Wharf. 

The Whitlow’s tradition began in 1946 when David Whitlow opened his bar on the corner of 11th and E Street, NW. In 1971, Greg Cahill purchased the restaurant but made few changes to the beloved tavern that had become a fixture in the city. In 1989, Whitlow’s closed its doors to make way for a major redevelopment—one that, unfortunately, never materialized. Since then, Whitlow’s has expanded to U Street, Whitlow’s on Water and now at The Wharf.

This new chapter along DC’s SW Waterfront offers stunning waterfront view, lively energy, live music, quality food and drinks, and more. The Wharf is happy to be part of Whitlow’s expanding story.
