The closest Metro Station has a free shuttle near the Exit 'A' and there's a bus that goes to the closest Metro Station as well. There are lots of buses that service The Wharf area.
The Wharf is the best especially with all the upscale upgrades and expansion. The Wharf isn't just for visitors but for people within the DMV. The Wharf also includes a open Seafood Market, places to sit outside, tons of restaurants and retail with residential areas as well with scheduled free and paid for events & activities.
Thank you 😊👋
Do you have a bicycle path video? We are riding our bicycles from Cumberland on the C&O canal path in Sept 2025 Wondering how to get around DC on a bicycle! Great videos! Watching all of them!!
If coming from 14th Street, one can take the #52 bus straight to the Wharf; there's a stop right outside the McPherson Square metro station exit at 14th and I Streets.
I am loving your videos! We will be up in a couple weeks and I am carnivore. I am hoping to find some decent places for clean meats with no added sugars, fillers, or spices with gluten or dairy in them. I will try Lucky Buns, without the bun of course!
Planning a trip to Alexandria and thinking about adding a day at the Wharf. Does the water taxi go from Alexandria to the Wharf?
I’ve visited DC multiple times for the past 10 years and I’m yet to set foot around that area.
We are going in January. Staying at the Hyatt
This is a great area for a night out on the town. Saw Thom Yorke/The Smile at anthem in ‘22. What a great night!
Well put together
Can you do a video comparing the Navy Yard area to the wharf area?
That burger joint is off the hook. Thank you for all your info that you give appreciate it.
Un Octuber will be my first time in Washington DC 😊I’m scared 😱. Thank you very much for the video
New here…look forward to seeing your other videos!
I never heard of this place but it sounds interesting. Since I can't be in DC thanks for bringing a little bit of DC to me.
I love these, and I like the Wharf too. It's just very nice to stroll along the water at a warm evening/night
Visited DC at the beginning of July. Watching your videos ahead of time, made me feel like a pro. Did not have time for the wharf this time around.
We visited DC in mid March and loved the Wharf! I would highly recommend Fat Fish Rolls and Twists, Chopsmith and Surf’s Side Tacos. Our family of 5 has teenagers and it was great for us to try new foods and sit together in the outside table areas. We spent two dinners here and one before a Kennedy Center Performance. We learned so much from you Rob at Trip Hacks DC Tours! Keep up the great work!!
My wife and I are planning a trip to DC in October. we're staying at the Hyatt on the Wharf. So, this video was great to see.
Thanks for this video Rob! I still haven't been to the Wharf but it's on my list and you provided lots of great things to see and eat! Also, nice shout out to Morrissey! I had tickets to his concert at the Anthem last year Nov'22 but unfortunately it was canceled…
I only stay at The Wharf if there's something going on I want to see, otherwise I'll stay closer to the National Mall. We really enjoyed Kirwans Irish Pub for lunch and The Brighton for lunch and dinner. Threshers (I think it changed it's name) was always a good spot for an evening cocktail and some small bites to eat.
My family is thinking about visiting soon and staying at the Intercontinental at the Wharf, which is an IHG property (like Holiday Inn).
