Best hotel lobby bar in DC to get drinks on Thanksgiving

I actually think for kids the little seating area in the main lobby across the long hallway is better than the Round Robin. They often have a champagne cart there too.

I would do the Mayflower or the Willard lobby bar

DP, but agree. Though the Round Robin is my favorite "DC" bar.

How old are your kids? Maybe a bar with a sit-down option would be better. Or maybe just a restaurant like Old Ebbits Grill? Not the greatest food or drink but a real DC feel.

Also less swanky but might fit the bill - one of the Wharf hotels with great views. Like the Canopy.

Ha- we are getting it catered this year, but will make the turkey when we get home.
One year when we lived in an apartment bldg, we asked our neighbor to baste the turkey/check on it while we were gone, which was so sweet of him.

omg you are #goals as the kids say. how absolutely civilized! getting all the sides catered and going out for champagne and snacks while the turkey roasts … genius.

You can get your own sitting area at the Jefferson. Can be totally kid friendly.
