FAQs

Do I need a reservation? Do you take walk-ins?

You can make table reservations for up to 20 guests on Resy, but we also welcome walk-ins (we’ve got plenty of space, for up to 1000) so just come on up!

If you are looking to book a large-party reservation or private event, please submit an inquiry here.

What are your seating options like?

We have an expansive rooftop space with seating available at picnic tables, bistro and high-top tables, and ample room to bring a blanket and spread out on the lawn. 

Are children allowed?

Yes! We also host family-friendly Weekday Recess and Weekend Playdate happy hours 7 days a week!

Though on Fridays & Saturdays, we are 21+ after 7pm.

Due to safety concerns, all children must always be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Please keep in mind that Hi Lawn is a bar & restaurant and should be treated as such.

What about dog-friendly?

We’re all dog owners/lovers ourselves, but unfortunately, the building doesn’t allow pets on the rooftop.

Can I bring up food from Union Market downstairs, or outside food?

You are welcome to bring outside food specifically from Union Market vendors downstairs, or can bring outside cakes/cupcakes for special celebrations. But all outside alcohol is strictly prohibited.

Can I bring my own blanket/lawn chairs?

Of course! BYO picnic blanket, lawn chairs, whatever you’d like to bring the picnic vibes to life! Keep in mind, this only applies if you are being seated on the lawn. Our decking has plenty of furniture to accommodate most parties.

Do you allow smoking?

No. No smoking or vaping allowed.

Is your space covered and/or heated?

Our space is not covered/tented or heated. We encourage guests to dress for the weather, and bring their own picnic blankets for the lawn to bring the picnic vibes to life!

Please see our Instagram @hilawndc for weather and event schedule updates.

Are there any activities on the roof?

We host free weekly events including Wednesday Bingo, with live music, movie nights and trivia coming soon. We also offer a selection of lawn games, including Cornhole, Jenga, Giant Yahtzee & Connect Four year-round.

How do I place an order?

You can order directly at the bar, and we also offer contactless QR code ordering for convenience.

How do I get up to the roof?

Guests can access Hi-Lawn through the dedicated rooftop staircase at the front-east entrance to Union Market, adjacent to Suburbia. There is also an ADA access elevator.
