Update 9/16/2023. I hate that Google doesn’t allow you to reply to response, but the the ownerships response is a LIE!! I repeatedly called Sheldon and he did nothing!! We was too busy taking care of his kids (who stayed yelling in the background while on the phone)!!! It was only after I posted this review that you called my son and begged him to ask me to remove this review! I stand by what I posted and let me be very clear… I reached out to ultra bar on very next day after my son’s birthday. Sheldon said he would look into it and never did! I had to call Sheldon back two weeks later only for him to tell me about a third party issues which isn’t my concern. You hired the third party and you should take that up with them. We reserved and paid for a section that was available on your website 10 days in advance!!!! You didn’t provide a service/product/experience that was not only requested but was also paid for… more importantly, I repeatedly called you to work this matter out and you told me “Do what you gotta do” and that’s when I made this review!! I ordered a VIP section for my son’s birthday a week in advance through ultra bars website only for my son to arrive for the event to be informed that they over book the section that my son paid for. I called the Manager Sheldon the very next morning to try and resolve this issue since my son was beyond upset and birthday was ruined. I was told by sheldon that he would looks into the matter and give me a call back. Sheldon never returned my call. Two weeks later I reached back out to him for him to tell me that he forgot to call me but his 3rd party company over booked and that his promoter told my son that the section was over booked. The only problem with that is my son’s information was never on the booking it was mine and no one never called me!!! Sheldon stated that my son was happy and was informed complete lies!! My son nor I was ever informed and my son’s birthday was ruined by the over booking problem of their 3rd party booking site!! Sheldon then became rude and stated that he believes his promoter and said “ do what you got to do” !!! Sheldon is completely unprofessional and beyond disrespectful!! This place will take your money allow you to book and specify the location of your booking only for you to arrive and be told that they over booked, but don’t won’t to refund your money or make matters right!!! Spend your money wisely and book some place else

Extremely overrated, false advertising, and overpriced. Spent a few hours here and tried to give it a shot but it didn’t live up to the hype. When I first arrived it was 10:15pm and advertised that it was free to get in until 11pm for 21+ men, but we had to pay $20 to enter. Once we got in the service was decent but, that’s about the only thing that was nice about this place. They also say on there website that they have 5 levels when they only have 3 or 4 if you count the basement where there’s only a small bathroom. This place is just a cheesy knock off of a high end club. It was pretty cringey watching some of the people in the VIP section get bottle service from a waitress holding a cheap strobe flashlight that barely worked while in the other hand hold a $25 bottle of liquor and put it on there table for $500. Everything about this place screamed cheap yet everything they sold was stupid expensive. Save your time and money and go somewhere else, where you’ll have a much better experience.

My daughters wanted to go to a DC club with their friends and some are under 21. They insisted I go with them 🫣. We got there and received red carpet treatment thanks to the bouncers and owner. I ended up with about 8 people with me. The djs, bar tenders and bouncers were great. People were dancing everywhere. My girls had so much fun. They can't wait to go again hopefully they can go by themselves next time. 🤣

Love Ultrabar! Great music and atmosphere throughout the multiple levels of the club. The mixed drinks and their first-rate line of imported beers are top notch and fairly priced, considering the fact that this establishment is located in the heart of the nation’s capital. Getting a table is extremely affordable and I would recommend it if you come with a big group of friends. Security is on point inside and outside the club. It’s simply the best 18+ club in DC. Special thanks to Jimmy, Giuseppe, Galen, for always providing my friends and me with courteous customer service.

Energy was fun but staff was horrible. First the bouncer took my real ID and didn't believe that I was actually 21. After some convincing, I was able to get in. The girl at the bar was a crook. She charged me $35 for a single malibu and pineapple juice (the same drink upstairs only costed me $14). Too much of the staff were terrible and I am never coming back here. UPDATE from 7/3: The response from the owner was just show, I reached out to the email provided and called the place multiple times to "have this resolved" but no one ever got back to me.

Ultra bar is the absolute worst. First the security guards are so rude and find anyway to touch your back while walking behind you. Along with that, their drinks are way overpriced and aren’t good. Then I gave my coat to coat check and they “misplaced” my jacket. Then didn’t give me a refund and gave me a number that doesn’t allow you to talk to a real person. Never going to this club ever again and id advise you don’t unless you want your stuff taken because the coat check girl probably stole my jacket. Never been so infuriated. I wish I could give it zero stars because that was the worst experience of my life.

Awful! Was denied access as a ticketed member with valid id for my “sweatpants”. Simply wasn’t wearing sweatpants material at all. Despite going many times, will not be returning ever again. In response to the reply: They do in fact sell tickets through an outside company. What dress code? Your website has no dress code whatsoever. Never been denied from any club in DC in what I was wearing. The pants were in fact parachute with no cloth material. They refused to look at them or to feel that it was not sweatpants material. Get this, I was told I need to be wearing a belt! Could not believe it. A belt? To go clubbing? They don’t argue because they know they are wrong. I have actually entered this exact club in the exact outfit I was wearing, so I felt singled out and profiled for whatever reason. Word of advice: if you have a reason in mind for why someone isn’t allowed, tell them. Don’t make up some other reason that’s clearly not valid. Speak your truth loud and proud! Also, whoever replies to these reviews seems to be trying to argue with every single person instead of resolving their complaints or to make things right. Very telling of the kind of place ultra really is.

It was my first time visiting Ultrabar for a friends birthday. Our VIP table and bottle service was top notch. Great music, great atmosphere and fun. Honestly, everything exceeded my expectations. Sheldon (I believe the manager) stopped by our table to make sure everything was okay. - which is unheard of in the DC bar scene. This whole place was a vibe.

I only gave one star because of the layout .. Having four floors for every persons music type is literally the coolest; however paying $20 each to go in and not told exactly what you can and can’t do is beyonddd me .. they saw three girls alone and dead took an L straight out of my friends mouth now saying that it’s not allowed yet the smoke was as thick as a fog machine? the staff pick and choose and are rude asl and on a power trip fr .

I want to start off by saying that the place is not as nice as the pictures show and the top floor is not fully done. My boyfriend and I came here last night for new years and he was almost not allowed in for wearing timbs, and his ticket for NYE was super overpriced. He also got four, very tiny watered down drinks that totaled at $80. And also, the music sucked in general. Most of it was pretty outdated. Edit: In response to the owners’ “sorry-not-sorry” style response, I don’t know how any legitimate DC DJ with 15 years experience would bother to play some corny music like the fresh prince of bel air theme song and Indian music. And in response to Timbs not being business casual, here’s a picture of Jay Z wearing them. Apparently they’re good enough for a millionaire celebrity but not good enough for your club 🤡🤡🤡 not to mention the number of dudes that wore flannel to the party.

Have a bull**** dress code. Told me & my friend we couldn’t get in because we weren’t wearing a to dress shirt with our jordans!!! Dont come here, DC has too many nice clubs to be dealing with that bs. + security was rude

Honestly this place looked really cool but I didn't even get to experience it. I was a dd for my friends for when we left the event so I was not drinking. But when we arrived at the event I was told that I was not allowed in because I was drunk even though I was not but my friends that I had arrived with were severely intoxicated. I then tried to get a second opinion from the other bouncer who just ignored me and told me to leave. I was then yelled at by who I assume was the manager that I needed to leave and get away from the area even though I was just standing to the side out of everyone's way waiting for one of my friends to come out so I wasn't alone. I have really bad anxiety and had already been very nervous about going to a club for my first time ever so after he yelled at me multiple times I started to cry and he still continued to yell at me. I just don't understand why there wasn't anyone willing to talk to me and explain why I wasn't allowed in the building and honestly looking at the other reviews it seems that the staff just gets to choose who they let in whether they have a valid excuse or not. It was just kind of a terrible thing to have happened to you especially when trying something new for the first time ever.

I Got charged 93$ for 2 vodka Red Bulls which is absolutely heinous…. This place is a scam and will run you for as much money as they can for no reason. It should definitely be looked into for sketchy business practices.

This 5 star review could not be more merited after a very busy Halloween Saturday night. The measure of an establishment is not only how well it executes its positive experience but also how it reacts when it gets something wrong. And we had one BIG hiccup. We had ordered tables and bottle service beforehand. Arrived around 11:30. The door staff were not the most cheerful but they're probably cold and dealing with a lot of drunk people so they have very little patience. All the different lines were very disorganized as well. Once we got in, my party were taken straight to our main floor table and introduced to Val. She was VERY happy and VERY cheerful and a wonderful and attentive server. There was a security staffer in the tables area at that time. We had some drinks, danced a little and settled in. After about 45 minutes we decided to leave our area to explore the other floors. Each has different music and a different vibe and it's a treat to wander and explore! And bring cash so you can tip the bathroom staffer. I was very embarrassed that I did not have any cash on me to say thank you to him. We wandered and danced for about 45 minutes. When we came back, we found a large group of ladies at our table and in our section. There was no security guard to be seen anywhere. We shooed them away and although they protested and argued with us for a bit they did eventually move away. That was when we discovered they had drunk our entire bottle of champagne and started in on our two liquor bottles having had approximately another 25% of each. We were appalled and shocked. We took the situation up with Val and she quickly gave us another bottle of champagne. However she didn't really know what to do about the liquor. We approved the check but mentioned that we would have to follow up with someone the next day about the situation. A few minutes later a staffer (we assume some kind of manager) came to us with another full bottle of liquor with their compliments. We were not expecting it and we were very grateful. Suffice to say, we were entirely satisfied with their handling of the situation and they turned the situation around completely for us. We had a wonderful rest of the evening and are eagerly looking forward to returning in the future. Val and the team at Ultrabar completely executed the right moves even when things went wrong. Major shout out to her. She made what could have been a bad review into a stellar customer service experience. We cannot recommend Ultrabar enough. Ps. They did acknowledge that there should have been a security staffer there keeping guard and mentioned that there usually is. Tips: If you have table service and everyone wishes to leave the table, GIVE YOUR BOTTLES TO THE BOTTLE SERVICE SERVER. Even if there is a security staffer there, they may be called away to deal with another situation.

This club is not wheelchair accessible! There is a step at the front that they do not have a ramp for. It was so upsetting to try to spend a night with my friends just to run into discrimination. I hope that anyone considering this club for a night out will refrain from going in solidarity with disabled people who deserve to have access too. Also, a man who I’m assuming was with the club tried to explain to me why it wasn’t accessible (there is no good explanation!) and bent down to my eyesight in a very demeaning way. I said please do not get in my personal space and he said alright get out. Completely adding insult to injury, after being illegally discriminated against, this man had the audacity to treat me with such disrespect and harm. I hope everyone who reads this review will consider what I felt like in this moment, and join me in choosing other more fun and inclusive environments for their nights out.

The atmosphere, drinks, and music are great! They have a variety of different music on each floor, so you will not get bored of the place. Love the bartenders, they are super friendly and fun to talk to.

Was walking up the steps with my wife and some of the people from my unit then some guy grabbed my wife’s arm and yanked her..she yells “get off of me!” and pulls her arm away I then proceeded to ask the man in a non kind manner… obviously, you just put ur hands on my wife then a security guard comes up and insists I drop it and move on but the guy thought is was a good idea to grab my arm and apologize I then said not to touch me and told the security guard he should be kicked out then the guy touches me again to apologize and this is when I started to raise my voice so the security guard…. so he took him away I’m just confused on the fact that it takes me having to raise my voice to get someone kicked out but totally disregard the fact that this guy grabbed my wife’s arm squeezed it and yanked her it’s ridiculous… idk why I dropped it because now we see this morning she has three bruises on her arm

I had a fantastic experience here. My first club ever and i was excited especially since it was 18+. Loved the diversity and different types of music and people. The whole place was a vibe in my opinion and i could still order at least water or a Red Bull at the time lol

Ultrabar happens to be among the best clubs to party in DC. The establishment has four floors with different music genres played by talented DJs, and the overall atmosphere is always entertaining. My friends and I have enjoyed table service on multiple occasions and we’ve always had a fun time. The customer service from Jimmy Mar is absolutely exceptional, I consider him a tremendous asset to Ultrabar for many reasons, as well as the entire staff who are always very welcoming, friendly, and professional. This place also has outstanding security inside and outside the club in order to ensure the safety of its patrons. It is well situated near the Verizon Center and Constitution Avenue. Check out their pictures online showing how crowded and lit this place is. It is truly amazing on so many levels. Just make sure to look your best by following their dress code. Be ready to have a good time! In conclusion, I strongly recommend Ultrabar to anyone looking to have an enjoyable night out.

This place is not responsible with the young audience that they cater to. We witnessed several women who were not even conscience walking out of the bar - we called an ambulance and they didn’t even take the alcohol poisoning situation seriously.

Tries to double charge me at the entrance, saying I didn't pay the first time even when I just tapped the card 30 seconds before. $40 for a tiny glass of jager red bull and a shot of jager, literal highway robbery lol. Money pit / scam of a place that'll get those who are completely clueless. DJ's music was alright but it could've been better.

Ultrabar is literally the best club with several levels in Washington DC. I have always had an elated time there and I really love the music, lights, people, energy, and drinks. There have been many times when my friends and I have reserved a VIP table, and let me tell you, the experience is very cozy and enjoyable. Whether you choose to reserve a table through their website or just have fun on the dance floors while indulging on a couple drinks at the bars, your night is more likely to be a great one! Tom, the bartender is a cool guy who has a serene demeanor, while always being ready to serve drinks upon customer’s request. As for the security guards and entire staff administration, I would personally rate their professionalism and customer service an A+ based on the countless positive experiences my friends and I have had. Mr. Marmaras and his partners do an excellent job with only hiring good people and consistently making Ultrabar such an awesome place to party! To sum up, I would definitely advice Ultrabar to anyone looking for a fun night out in Washington DC.

I came to visit Washington DC for the weekend for Easter. My husband and I went to Ultrabar waiting in line for a little over 30 minutes just to get to the door and staff checking ID told my husband he was not allowed in because he had sneakers on. When I asked how come if every other male there had sneakers on and it was never mentioned in the dress code online. He responded very rudely and very unprofessional. The experience would have been a lot better if staff would have treated us fairly. I would think twice about attending this nightclub.

DO NOT USE YOUR CARD HERE. It was pretty nice, the idea and the inside is pretty cool, but if you don’t want over charges, extra fees, and them stealing extra money from you don’t go. My girl and I had four drinks and they charged my card $140 two days after.

Ultrabar is a great spot to go out to in DC! They have various floors that play a wide variety of music, so depending which floor you're on you can vibe with your favorite genre of music. The bartenders are very friendly and make great drinks, and there's excellent management at this club!

There's an old black dude who's at the first checkpoint of the line with short hair and baggy eyes. He's a hound dog to women and a POS to men. He especially likes to pick on certain customers for no reason. Get rid of him. I'm tired of him. He kills the vibe before you even head in the door. If you're the owner and you read this, tell him exactly what I said, please. He's awful. He treats a loyal customer like me disgustingly.

Security is unbelievable rude here. My boyfriend and I were dancing together on a platform where multiple other people were dancing and the bouncer demanded just we get down. We’ve been here 3 times but never again. We were dancing and having a great time prior to that and after just left and went to Madhatter instead

Always a good time when you come here! I’ve always had a good night coming to ultra. The music is up to date and I love the variety they have. Each floor is such a different vibe and my favorite are the latin and hip hop floors.

I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience at Ultra bar this weekend. My sister had the best time celebrating her birthday there. It was really fun, the music and atmosphere was high energy, and the service exceeded my expectations. The balloon drop was also a great touch :)

I went to ultra bar recently and had a much better experience than before COVID. This club has really stepped it up, it’s not over crowded by 18+ and the music has an actually updated set. I love that I can choose the music I want to hear based on the floor. Be sure to visit them all to get the full experience and if you want a really good time you might as well get a table, they have decent bottle pricing for the area. Bottle girls there are really nice, we had Katie and she made sure we had fun.

Ultra bar is genuinely the #1 best multilevel nightclub throughout the nation’s capital. Among the reasons that makes ultrabar unique from the other nightclubs I’ve been to in the city are as follows: 1. Ultrabar is the only nightclub that offers five dance floors: Basement, Main level, Mezzanine, Latin, and Hip Hop. Each floor has its own cool vibe, a huge bar, and many VIP tables throughout four out of five floors. 2. DJ’s are proficient, and I really enjoy the wide variety of music played such as: Electronic dance music, Latin music, Top 40’s, Pop remixes, and Hip Hop. 3. The Laser beams, LED lights, along with the high-quality sound system, and the high energy of the huge crowds, all create an extremely fun ambience throughout the venue. 4. The location of this nightclub is perfect, since it’s literally located in the heart of Downtown D.C. within walking distance from upscale pubs, fancy restaurants, posh hotels, Capital One Arena, and the entire historic area of the beautiful nation’s capital. 5. Profesional staff and bartenders who are always very attentive and swift to serve drinks. 6. They do balloon drops in the main floor after midnight on nights that get packed. This is something very cool and unique that I’ve only seen at Ultrabar. 7. This place has a tendency of attracting a multitude of lively good-looking people who are ready to dance and party to the max. 8. The price of drinks are definitely a bit more affordable to other nightclubs I’ve been to in the city. Although drinks at any nightclub in the District aren’t super cheap due to the enormous costs of running a large venue in any affluent city, realistically speaking — drinks here are affordable considering its upscale sector of D.C. Moreover, the overall costs of clubbing around here is comparable to a couple other affluent cities nationwide and worldwide with exclusive areas. According to their website and IG, this nightclub has been booming since 2006. From my own perspective, that tells me that they’ve been very successful with consistently providing a fun party scene that many people have actually enjoyed ever since the inception of Ultrabar. The same can’t be said about a few other nightclubs throughout the city — especially after the pandemic which had an undeniable impact on everything. Nonetheless, Ultrabar remains as the best multilevel nightclub in D.C. in which I’ve had numerous great moments, and have enjoyed a VIP table a couple times. The customer service from the cocktail servers has always been cheerful, kind, and attentive in checking up with us to serve more cranberry juice to mix up with our world class vodka. And I would like to say thank you to Mr. Dimitris, and the staff whom have given me, and my group of people stellar customer service. I am the type of person who always values friendliness and excellent service. Consequently, due to the many positive experiences I’ve had at ultrabar, it has impel me to write a five-star review on Google. Although I’ve also had good times at a selected number of venues in D.C. such as Echostage, and a few others — Ultrabar is undoubtedly the best multilevel nightclub I’ve ever been to. To conclude, I surely recommend Ultrabar 100 percent since it’s one of my favorite party venues I’ve ever been to nationwide.

Place was okay. The different levels with different music was a huge plus! Some of the security was just rude. I get it’s not a great environment to work in, but I’d rather not get the stink eye when asking where the exit is. Could’ve just been a bad night because it was busy. Other than that, it was fine. One EMT/security guard was really helpful when I asked about where to go and he was very understanding of my confusion. Bartenders were nice and when me and my drunken friend got separated from our other friends, we stepped outside and the EMT’s/employees kept an eye on us while my friends were trying to meet us outside, which was greatly appreciated.

Ultra is alway such a vibe! Gisselle, the bartender, gives great service, & is always prompt with our drink orders, on top of being so sweet. The rest of the staff has always been so welcoming & kind. Kadi & Baylin also are always so nice to us when we come by. I love the venue & the hospitality. A great place to hang out!

Nikki at Ultrabar charged me and one of my friends $20 each to get in on ladies night even through we had the free pass from the website but let another friend in with the same pass, then tried to tell me that I had the wrong pass even though the link said March 10 on it which was the date that we were there. Don't waste your money.

I had fun inside but The security guy was rude (the one who check the ids first) he didn’t want to let me in first, even if i had a shirt he said i need a shirt with sleeves??? Like what? And he wasn’t even nice about it!

If there is going to be a very strict dress code it should be very detailed on the website, which it was not. We got there, waited on line and the security guard told our group no timbs, and you gotta have a collared shirt on. We step to the side and another gentleman tells us the security told him no jordans meanwhile some of us was wearing jordans and he never told us anything about the j’s. We stayed for a while on the side and he let others in that were dressed the same as us (some even worse), so clearly he was picking and choosing. Terrible experience, a waste of time, what a waste of my night.

Perfect place for those who want a bit of everything. Sometimes I get tired of hearing the same type of music so it’s nice to be able to just switch floors to get a different atmosphere instead of having to go to completely different clubs and wait in line again. It gets packed but the bartenders are really friendly so they make the wait for a drink enjoyable

not worth it. horrible service. so overhyped. mean bouncers. mean staff. expensive. bad atmosphere. good music tho. sus men. will not be returning.

I love this place been here couple of times they never disappoint you each floor has a bar and you can bounce on any floor. Good place for a group party and the crowd is really amazing in there always.

Was there at Halloween- weekend Oct, 28. At the second floor with Latin Music there was no AC and because of that not usable. So if you want a sauna Experience for $20 this is your place to go!

I am so unbelievably disgusted right now. I went into this club with literally one other employee and wasn’t let in because I didn’t have “the look.” When I asked this tall bouncer what he meant, he literally said that “bigger girls” shouldn’t be let in. Hire better employees Heist. So disappointed.

I celebrated my birthday at Ultrabar this past weekend and had an amazing time! The music was great, the atmosphere was fun, the workers inside were super nice, and I loved the balloon drop :)

This club is super cool! It has multiple floors and they each play different music so there’s a vibe for everyone! The service is fast and all of the bartenders are hot! Highly recommend!

Went there Saturday for one of my buddies birthday. The stairs are a killer but the top floor is jumping. VIP service the way to go the floor was a bit crowded for me. Our waitress took care of us she was cool and brought girls to our table.

Everything about this club is amazing but the guys it attracts is not good at all. As a woman just expect to get grabbed by every guy and then they won’t let you leave and man handle you to stay. The one security guard just expect to also get grabbed by him too. I would’ve had so much fun if it wasn’t the guys. Also for like four drinks it $72. Sorry I won’t be coming back.

i went to this place yesterday with some friends, a 19-years-old girl, me and my another friend, that we are 21+. it was halloween, and we are not supposed to pay to get in until 12am, only the underage girl. but even that they charged us 20$. on the website it was published about not paying. this was so unethical. we just got there, because our friend is leaving and it’s the only place she could have some fun and we wanted enjoy with her. just because of this!

I went here for my birthday 09/30/23 and the place is crazy! ( In a good way ) 4 floors each one has a different atmosphere, I enjoyed the time I spent there. Other than the small issue with being over charged for 4 drinks the total was 104.09 which is a little excessive for Vegas bombs. I tried paying with my debit but I couldn’t cover it, I didn’t have my credit card with me so another friend paid for it. To my knowledge ( I’m not sure how their pos system works ) when you pay half, you can use another card to pay the remainder OR trust that the bartender would cancel the transaction and use the second card to pay it in full right? But we were both charged for the same amount and neither one of the emails are available to contact with a manager/ owner. I don’t like writing bad reviews about business but if you somehow can’t get in contact with anyone there’s something wrong going on. EDIT: this will be deleted after disputing the charges and getting a full refund. I don’t intend to bring down Ultrabar‘s reviews but this is what I have to do to get in contact with someone.

What a great hidden gem. This bar looked to be recently remodeled with a beautiful patio. The performance late at night was one of a kind and was worth the drive there. The bartenders were mostly friendly and drinks were priced a bit higher than I was used to but being a small bar in the middle of what seemed to be nowhere, the prices were acceptable. Owners were present and hospitable as well.

There's this old black dude with baggy eyes and a nasty attitude that checks people in line first. He's a massive POS and I doubt he has anyone in his life who cares about him. I'm gonna be flat. Get rid of him before someone takes matters into their own hands and puts him out of his misery themselves. He's rude, lecherous, and disgusting as a person. It's a great bar, but He's a menace. And people are sick of him. Sooner or later, someone will get rid of him for you.
