I made a last minute reservation pretty easily and it wasn't super busy, we came here on Sunday at 11:30 AM. We did have issues finding parking but it is street parking, not sure if there are any parking garages in the area. The reservation was made for the 1st floor but they didnt have issues moving us to the 2nd floor and it was so cute. There were string lights and good music. I ordered the Rubber Ducky cocktail which was super cute but not super tasty. We did ended up with getting the bottomless $28 cocktail/mimosa. My friend did the espresso martini but it seemed to missing something. The mimosas came with three different juices, orange, strawberry and peach, all delicious. For brunch, I ordered the Brunch Skillet which was delicious and had a very good spice kick. My friend got the 801 Breakfast Sandwich. It looked pretty good. Overall, we had a great time and they didn't rush us at all but the service was just a little slow, seemed like it was just 2 bartenders and I did wish they checked on us a little more but otherwise a good experience.

They are super nice. It's a cute space, and warm on this cold day They have a small downstairs and an even smaller space upstairs but they have two bars! The music was a little loud, but not too upsetting. I got the Cali Burger, it was pretty good, I ate it all.

The 801 Breakfast of Champions

We were here to grab brunch with our friends. We did not have reservations, so we got really lucky to get a nice table for 4. Hostess was very nice. We ordered bottomless mimosas for the table. They bring various juices for your mimosa and the Prosecco was great too. For food we ordered eggs with sausage and bacon. Food is mostly American with some Mexican blended into it. Huge portions as I couldn't finish mine. It was very delicious. Price was nominal compared to other brunch places. Ambiance was great. Parking can be hard to find in this area.

Stopped by last night for a few drinks and some food. Great location we sat at the rooftop they have amazing views of the city. Service and food were great. Definitely will stop by again.

Roasted Cauliflower

My friend and I came here before a 930 club show for dinner. They had good reviews, but I didn't take a good look at their menu. It's a bit of Mexican food for dinner, along with some other food, which was wonderful. My friend and I shared the roasted cauliflower and steak fajitas. They even provided extra tortillas for us, which came out hot. Everything was phenomenal and I would definitely come back here. The ambiance was great and they even had a rooftop I'll have to check out next time. I definitely suggest this place before a show at the 930 club or other clubs in the area.

This was my first time here at 801, and I must say I enjoyed myself. It wasn't busy because it was the holiday, so people probably assumed they were closed. My steak was good, just the way I like it medium rare. Scrambled with cheese, and they do charge extra for cheese. I could have had more, but it's all good. I wanted potatoes, but those fries hit the spot! The sauce on the side I poured some on my steak, which is oil and herbs. Mimosas... 3 different flavors OJ, peach, and I believe strawberry... don't quote me on that because I can't remember. It's definitely worth a visit, and all of my friends' food looked pretty good, too! Check it out!!!!

I haven't been to many rooftop spots. I'm changing that, & this spot is one of many to come!! With that being said I went to this rooftop spot on Florida avenue In N.W. D.C. Let's go... . Where I am: @801dc . Location Reviewed: 801 Florida Ave., N.W. Washington D.C. . Menu Includes: *See Website* https://www.801dc.com/ . Items Reviewed: Their 801 Rum Punch (Coconut rum, with a house punch $12). DECENT. More rum than flavor... Their Lemon Crush Mocktails (with lemonade, & a spritzer $7). PASS. One of the drinks had something floating in it, the other, unfortunately was too bitter. Their QuesaBirria Tacos (beef birria, with chihuahua cheese, inside a blue corn tortilla with consummé $18). DELICIOUS. Cheesy, meaty, & crunchy...with the consummé...good. Their Steak Tid Bits (chopped flank steak with sautéed peppers, onions, & horseradish sauce over a bed of fries $12). DELICIOUS. The steak was a tad too tough, but its seasoning was...good. Their Lobster Mac & Cheese Balls (chopped lobster, & deep fried mac n cheese beignets with a marinara sauce $13). DECENT. I needed more flavor, & lobster. Their Pomme Frites (fries with ketchup, & house dipping sauce $8). DECENT. They were ok fries, with a tangy mayo dip. Their Strawberry Salad (with spinach, goat cheese, walnuts, & a raspberry vinaigrette $12). PASS. The vinaigrette was overpowering, & the strawberries weren't fresh. Their Chili Salmon (with chili ancho, Chile guajillo, mashed sweet potato, & a mango pico de gallo $22). PASS. The salmon was old, & extremely fishy. This combination didn't blend well. Their Chicken Al Pipian (fried chicken with pipian Rojo, spinach, & rice $18). DELICIOUS. Well fried, the Rojo was...good. . Online Navigation: Easy . Customer Service: Decent. They spoke. But it just took a while for me & my company to get served. . Parking: ROUGH!! Uber, Bus, Subway, Lyft!! . Music: YouTube-Backyard Band Pocket . Recommendations: The fries. 5 Stars=STAMP 4 1/2 Stars=LIKE THAT 4 Stars=DELICIOUS 3 Stars=DECENT 2 Stars=PASS 1 Star=NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

Happy hour special

I normally come for brunch. The service is always a 5/5. They offer bottomless espresso martinis, rum punches, and mimosas. The food is good and there's ample street parking. There's a rooftop. The happy hour is pretty good as well

Chicken Al Pipian ($18)
Calder S.

801 was pretty good. It has a pretty normal, crowd pleasing menu and reasonable prices. You aren't going to be wowed but you aren't going to be disappointed, either. Many of the reviews on here are for brunch, but I visited for dinner on a Saturday. It was pretty quite at ~6 PM. I sat on the first floor, which was a friendly if somewhat plain space. The menu is mostly Tex Mex and American, with dishes like tacos and burritos but also burgers and salmon. To drink, we had beer: Right Proper Raised by Wolves ($8) and Modelo ($7). Then we had the Quesabirria Tacos which had two large birria tacos with consomme ($18). And the Chicken Al Pipian, which was two pieces of fried chicken with pipian rojo, spinach, and rice. Pipian sauce was new to me -- it's a Mexican sauce made with pumpkin seeds and dried red chilies. Both entrees were solid. The pipian sauce wasn't spicy, but had a nice, slightly spiced, savory flavor. The rice reminded me of butter rice when I was a kid, which I liked. The fry on the chicken was very good, although the chicken itself could have used some more flavor, either from a brine or from some spices in the fry. The tacos were pretty standard -- beef, melted cheese, a little bit of burnt cheese flavor, and broth. Service was friendly and timely. Again, pretty good but also pretty average.

Solid brunch that never disappoints me or my friends when we need an easy brunch situation. The staff is friendly and professional. The spot is clean and stays busy regardless of when you stop by. It is essentially on U street so it's not too quiet. But everyone usually is there having a great time especially when it warms up outside.

The 801 Breakfast of Champions (5 stars)
Rebecca F.

Highly recommend brunch on the second floor! There are a variety of seating options, we chose the bar. Both Tago and Kevin were welcoming and attentive. As I explained that day, I found the spot on Yelp that morning and wanted to try the food! The Breakfast of Champions dish was EVERYTHING! (5 stars) It was filling and had lots of all ingredients! My friend ordered the chorizo tacos which she liked but vowed to try the dish I ordered the next time. The Bottomless Mimosas were lovely; especially because you're given the juice on the side. I ordered strawberry and my friend ordered grapefruit. They also offer a good deal with cocktails as well! The only part I didn't like was the $4 charge for one slice of toast. I think I've found my new Sunday brunch spot!

Great local bar with large rotating craft beer selection. Highly recommend for any beer…read moreenthusiast. They have wine and cocktails as well. They are happy to recommend beer for your taste, and let you sample. It can be very busy and difficult to get a seat at the bar or get a table on a Friday or Saturday evening. We ordered food, and were expecting elevated bar food. The tater tots were a huge disappointment- they were very large squares , bland, and not crispy. The wings were okay. The cheeseburgers were the best- from the restaurant downstairs- mallard. Huge burger, done perfectly medium.

I visited as part of the full experience -- dinner downstairs at Birch & Barley, then up to Churchkey for drinks -- and honestly, it's one of the best evenings I've had in DC. Churchkey itself is everything a great bar should be. The beer selection is absolutely unreal -- hundreds of carefully curated labels spanning every style, region, and flavor profile you can imagine. What sets it apart is that the staff actually knows the menu. Our server walked us through a few options based on what we liked and landed us on perfect picks both times. That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft. The smash burger also deserves a mention: simple, well-executed, and hits the spot. The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming. Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender. This place has earned its reputation as one of the best beer bars on the East Coast -- and then some. Highly recommend making a full night of it with both floors. You won't regret it. Feel free to adjust the tone or add any personal details from your actual visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have you ever been to a high end place and ordered a burger? You get that look like ordering steak…read moreat a great seafood place. Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places. The prices are basically the same now. On a few trips to Capital Grille I did go with the burger and so I decided to check out its affiliate Capital Burger. Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.
