W XYZ Lounge

Extremely friendly staff, we had a great time. Drinks were very reasonable for the size and pricing. I would absolutely go again!!

"W XYZ Bar" is a Marriott International brand for their restaurant and lounge concept that serves their Aloft Hotel chain. This particular location provides service to the Aloft and Element hotels which share this location. It’s also popular with business travelers and their guests who frequent this location due to its proximity to Microsoft's global headquarters. W XYZ follows a fast casual model for food service that replies on simple menus and orders placed using a mobile app. The selection is limited and somewhat underwhelming in its execution, but fine for bar fare and will do in a pinch if you need a nibble or can't make it off property. They're open twice daily for breakfast and dinner service, and popular in the evenings after work owing to a decent bar menu and solid craft cocktails.

This is a good meetup place but the bar service is pretty disorganized and can get very slow when they're unexpectedly busy. Each of the bartenders has their own way and they don't pay any attention to who was there first, nor indicate where the line is. It seems like it's kind of at each end of the bar and people in the middle are in no man's land. The older male bartender seems more dedicated to taking care of folks and hustles about the place. The other one, not so much.

I'm still here finishing my pilsner. The bartender is fantastic, the clam chowder is surprisingly good for basically a hotel bar, my fiancé hasn't said a word while eating his burger which means he likes it... All in all very worth it especially for dinner on a workday evening if you're nearby.

Nice lounge with decent music. Quite lively in the evenings. Only had breakfast here which had good service. Food was pretty standard.

Me and my colleagues had a great evening thanks to the bar head David. He gave us some lux VIP experience by making special drinks which were specially made by him. He made our trip.

COVID update: They’re open again! Fantastic service and great to go for a chill night out. Not super crowded but better than your typical hotel bar. The drink menu is small but the bartenders are super nice and willing to make a custom drink! They also have half off wings Wednesday for now!

Was trying to find a cozy bar near me, and this place came up. I thought it would be a great place to grab a drink and relax from a long and hard week from being a parent, working, etc. I was truly disappointed when I realized the place was full of kids 8 and younger, including a baby as well. I really don't mind kids, I have them myself, but this really ruin the vibe of trying to mentally (and physically) run away from the real world and enjoy the drink without the everyday reality. The service was truly amazing, the food and drinks were too, and the ambiance was beyond relaxing (if it weren't for the kids). I think this is due to a hotel above, but still. If it is called a lounge and people would choose it based on that, then the hotel really needs to try to separate the two. I felt as if I came to have a martini on a daycare playground. I will recommend if kids don't really ruin your vibe, but I don't think I'll be back myself. Amazing place, truly, really checked off every I was looking for, except the screaming, running, crying bunch of kids, though.
