I want to love Boundary Stone because I live in the neighborhood, but I think it's just overhyped. Every time I've tried to go there to get a drink, I haven't stayed long. It's usually too packed and the narrow layout of the bar means standing is not an option unless you like being constantly jostled. I went there for brunch trying to keep an open mind, and got the french toast, which was more fried than toast and made me a bit nauseous. Maybe I've had bad luck, as others seem to love it, but I'm just not feeling it. read more

Neighborhood spot with great beer and service, and pretty good food. You won't be disappointed.

Nice place. Great food and atmosphere for 1st dates. Not too loud, there's actually parking if you're coming from outside DC. The food is great and the bartenders are awesome too read more

I appreciate the atmosphere here but I think the food is over hyped. It wasn't bad in any way but I wasn't wooed. The maple brussel sprouts were ok and crisped to perfection but I prefer my sprouts garlicky and with a bit of spice. I like their concept though. Drinks were ok, I wish they had more options. read more

One of favorite spots in Bloomingdale. Great local beer selection, good food, feel-good music, and a great staff. This is my go to bar for a chill night. read more

I ordered the B.E.L.T. and sat outside yesterday. The sandwich was forgettable, but the service was quite good.

Bar was limited in drinks, food wasn't good, horrible venue for events, management was not considerate of customer issues. Do not go.

Yelpers in the Bloomingdale area- if you haven't been here yet, I highly recommend it. It's probably been 2 years since I wrote a review of a place on this site so that shows a bit about my enthusiasm. This place is amazing, and the guys who own it are really great. We live in the neighborhood and have a ten month old daughter, and needless to say it's a bit of a challenge to find good sit down places in the area where we can take a baby and not feel totally out of place. Every time we've gone in there the owners have made a point of coming over and chatting with us, and have gone out of their way to make us and our daughter feel welcome. I know- you should get that level of service everywhere- but the truth is it's rare to walk into a DC restaurant and feel like a bit of a regular on your second or third visit. And the food....yummy. It gets better every time we go. I highly recommend the fish and chips, the beef stew, and the potato and leek soup. Great comfort food in a really nice atmosphere. This is the kind of neighborhood place we love to support and I hope they continue to be successful. read more

Encountered this place upon arriving in DC for pride weekend and the service was amazing. Our server Jessica was very attentive and helpful when it came to ordering and suggestions. I would totally recommend this place for great food, drinks, and music read more

This place is okay, compared to a couple of others of a similar style in the area, I am looking at you Right Proper Brew, this is a place I would go back to. It only cracks it for three stars as it is a bit more expensive than what I like, I mean the cheapest reasonable draft is a tenner including tip. I like to atleast have a seven or eight buck option. I dunno, maybe I am being a bit harsh and maybe it is just not my kind of place. read more

Was visiting D.C., and I had the falafel burger and house made potato chips! Absolutely delicious! Plenty of flavor in the falafel and the chips were some of the best homemade chips I've ever had! Really wish I could eat another right now! read more

I really like this place. Great neighborhood bar. Solid food. Brunch is delicious when you're looking for something more rustic, simple, and yet completely delicious. They have some TV's in here too, which is rare for a place in the Bloomingdale/Shaw area, so that's a bonus for coming on a Fall Saturday for some noon college football, a couple beers, and a sandwich. Highly recommend as a chill bar. Not a place you travel out of your way to go to, but a solid hangout when you're in the area. read more

I love this bar, just wish it was bigger! Due to their popularity (which is awesome) its often packed and hard to get a seat. I also wish they had a happy hour, but luckily their beer prices aren't TOO bad. Great place to hang out, love the bar seating facing the street- great for people watching! The staff is always friendly and the service is great. read more

Mine and the hubby's favorite place around town is Boundary Road, and one of our good couple friend's favorite place is Boundary Stone. Since we had taken them to our Road, it was time for us to go to their Stone....let the battle of the Boundaries begin. This was mine and G's first time at Boundary Stone and we went to celebrate our friend's birthday. We were informed they do not take reservations, which scares the crap of me...I like having reservations, but our friends said it should not be a problem. Me and G arrive and it is packed! And our birthday friend was waiting at the bar scoping the place out in order to try and snag a table. Using his ninja eyes, he spotted a group of 4 leaving a booth in the bar area, and we slid ourselves in the booth before anyone even knew what hit them. We were quickly greeted by our server who gave us the menus and asked if we knew what we wanted. We told her we needed a sec and she came back with waters for us. Since birthday guy's wife was stuck in traffic, we ordered our drinks and the wasabi deviled eggs and the hummus plate. It was very busy and very loud on a Thursday night, and the people standing/crowding around the bar, was more than often hovering around our booth and the servers had to squeeze by them. This must mean nothing but good things for the bar/restaurant...that means they are doing something right. The 4th person in our group finally arrived and we quickly ordered. Here is what we devoured. Two to the Dome = 3 Stars beer (so yummy..this was mine and the other wife's drink of choice) Corsair Whiskey (also super yummy) on the rocks Corruption = Beer from DC Brau Food: Wasabi Deviled Eggs= wonderful! Three Eggs, Not overly filled with the "filling", but instead had a perfect portion nesting inside the split egg with a tiny red chili pepper nesting on top of the mountain of wasabi/egg yolk mixture. You can definitely taste the wasabi, but it was not over powering. And if you DO like a ridiculous amount of yolk mixture in your eggs, they were nice enough to put a cut little circle portion under the eggs for you to enjoy/or not if you choose. Humms Dip with Pita Bread = Standard hummus platter, tasty, nothing that blew my mind...but alas a good appetizer. Chicken Lettuce Wraps= I ordered these and they were quite delicious. Instead of minced meat(typical in lettuce wraps) it was more like pulled chicken. Good flavors. The side sauce was on the sweet side, but good. I would have loved if they were a touch spicier. Three came with the order, which was a perfect amount. (I would order them again) DC Brau Chicken Sandwich = Not a fried sandwich, but a pulled chicken again. The husband said it was good, I didn't taste it, but I take his word for it. It came with the side of fries, and homemade ketchup. The fries were good, and everyone else at the table agreed that the homemade ketchup was not great...too sweet. Blue Burger (without the bun) and a side salad instead of fries. The blue cheese and carmalized onion burger without the bun....She devoured it...and has ordered it several times before. Falafel=The birthday boy ordered the falafel, he had never had it before. It came us a roll and honestly, I don't remember him saying anything about it...so it might have been good, might of not been...that was the only mystery dinner at the table. Sorry I couldn't help on that one. Our server, Nicole, was nice, but very busy. For the amount of time she had with us, she was very pleasant and friendly and put our orders in and brought them out with ease/not one hiccup. She always made sure we had what we wanted/needed and despite being extremely busy, always managed to make sure our waters were filled and if we needed more beer. Over all great experience. I think we would like to go back when it was less crowded, we like to hear each other when we talk. We will return. read more

I did a brunch with my grandmother,parents and lady friend.... This was a huge risk, because grandmother only seasons with salt and pepper, and parents aren't adventurous at all. Boundary road killed it. I had whatever their featured brunch was... And it was amazing. One of those places where everything on the plate is great... Nothing Mediocre. I'll be back for sure. read more

I wanted to loveee this place, who doesn't love a sliding barn door after all??? As we are adults we aren't allowed to act like children in most situations, i.e. scream and cry when we want something, jump up and down when we're excited, but heck if there is a barn door I can slide open?? BOY OH BOY!!!!! On the atmosphere, as my friends and I noted that it was quite masculine, (I counted nine men at the bar and one woman). The best part of our dinner was the dessert (butternut squash bread pudding) and the deviled eggs (lime and chili) although one of my friends was a bit struck by the un-smooth consistency. I gave this place 4 stars instead of 3 stars because they were very good about my allergy to garlic and the server was quite nice. The rest of the meal was mediocre, my salad had but a small 3 slice poached pear and onions on it and with some olive oil which was brought out because I couldn't eat their dressing (after being delivered greens with onion and a tiny poached pear with olive oil, I felt I may have been paying too much for what I was getting). And athough the menu said it would also come with cheese, there wasn't any on my salad...its as though the chef forgot and there was nothing mentioned about the cheese containing garlic! Although they did make our green bean appetizer without garlic, they substituted a bit too much salt for my liking as flavor....the food was good on the dessert side, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. The changing menu could mean more opportunities to spruce it up and enhance the food experience, and my meat eating friends were surprised with special accoutrements such as home made ketchup. read more

Pretty cool place. Food was good, if a bit small portioned. Good drink specials, and really good outdoor seating.

Ate here today! Cool environment and our server was great. Although she didnt ask and we failed to tell her how we liked it but the burger we ordered was totally pink on the middle and my 5 year old nephew couldn't eat the rest. Other than that we had the honey wings which were perfect and the dc chicken sandwich that was good minus the pickle.. And the fries were great.. Then we ordered the salted caramel brownie dessert which was just okay. Overall it was a great experience, the staff was very welcoming and hospitable. Will definitely go back in the evening to try the entrees that weren't available when we went and the beers! read more

Only ever been for drinks. I'd like to try the food. The bar was like most any other, nothing really special. Good vibe though. Kind of a hipstery crowd. read more

Every time I come to this pub I am always in awe. Great spirits, service and outstanding food. Katie was our server and she was awesome. So awesome to tip her $12 for her services. This visit I went on Saint Patrick's Day with my husband. I had Honey Hot Wings and Pan Seared Brussel Spouts and my husband had the Bacon Burger with fries. For dessert we had a Salted Chocolate with Dulce Leche Ice Cream. All of the food items came out quickly, hot and tasteful. Our beers never ran dry and we left happy full and satisfied. Thank you Katie we look forward to our next visit. read more

Been here a few times and love this place. If you like bourbon and don't feel the need to church it up too much, this is the place for you. Cool, knowledgable bartenders, friendly regulars, good food and an AMAZING selection of bourbon. I can't recommend this place enough. A bit on the small side though, but now that the weather is improving the outdoor seating should help with the crowd. read more

I like the ambiance of this place and appreciate that they have outdoor setting. The draft beer selection is pretty good. The food however, was a disappointment. The "award winning wings" were subpar. They weren't that flavorful, really. The "chicken lettuce wraps" were edible but not remarkable. If I come back, I may try a burger or may avoid the food all together. read more

Boundry Stone is like a great neighborhood bar. They are usually open during every natural event that has shut down the federal government. The food, steak frites, was pretty good but I come here for the selection of bourbon and the great atmospher. read more

Loved it..came in the summer time..had me a nice cocktail..wasnt crowded..waiter was nice and the food was delicious!! I had steak frites Mmm and then had there Devils eggs (cucumber) to die for!! read more

Came here for lunch after a long nite of drinking. Decided on the burger and husband got the hot chicken sandwich. Burger was okay, just your normal patty and wasn't a fan of the relish. The chicken sandwich was the way to go. Service was good. Wished the burger was up to par compared to the sandwich read more

Neat interior. Outdoor seating available. Interesting choices for beers, although whiskey is their thing. No minimum for credit cards. Good for small groups. read more

Went here before a show and grabbed a bunch of appetizers. Everything we ordered was really good; the deviled eggs, honey wings and salad with beets and goat cheese. Washed it all down with DC Brau, yum! read more

Great neighborhood bar with an excellent whiskey, bourbon and beer list. Service was friendly and there was never an empty glass waiting for a refill. The decor was rustic-sheik if that helps (exposed brick, repurposed wood, steel and dark tones). It's probably a good thing that I don't live near a place like this otherwise I would have some serious issues. Cheers. read more

Very loud in the bar area on a busy Saturday night, fine for drinking but for dinner and conversation, not so much. There were a lot of sports yuppies in there yelling at college football. The brussells sprouts sounded good but were simply burnt to a crisp. Arugula and beet salad had maybe 3 tiny bites of beet in the whole thing. Burger was delicious, if they had used a fresh bun it would have been excellent. The house-made ketchup is flat due to lack of vinegar. Ketchup is one of those things you just dont need to mess with, especially in a bar with televisions. Service was oustanding. Big ups for having a cheap canned beer option. read more

Really solid neighborhood bar with an excellent selection of beer and spirits and above average bar food. I had the bleu burger, which was really tasty. This may sound odd, but the portions are close to perfect, which I think is pretty rare. I ate my burger and fries and was just at the point where I was comfortably full. My one complaint is that they didn't list the prices for beer on their specials menu. My cousin ordered a beer and we didn't learn the cost until the check came - $10! Not a huge problem, but it was way overpriced for a 12 oz. beer and he never would have ordered it if he'd known the price (perhaps why it wasn't listed). Still a great hangout and one of the few places to grab a decent bite on a Monday night. read more

Boundary stone is the quintessential neighborhood bar. Friendly bar staff from the door guys to the managers. Their whiskey selection is top notch and the food menu is almost always on point. The decor is clean and no frills. I've never witnessed a line but it gets just full enough to where you feel like you are in a hopping spot a lot of the time without being overwhelmed by a crowd. read more

If you are a fan of whiskey then you have found the right place. Whiskey of types can be found here. Honey hot wings is my go to dish. Also wash it down with a DC Brau Corruption. Enjoy. read more

Great neighborhood spot. They have a nice beer list with lots of local options. The staff is friendly and efficient. The menu and food quality has improved significantly. I do not like their homemade ketchup, but they keep Heinz in the back if you request it. read more

The lamb ragu and gnocchi with pecorino was totally delicious. Highly recommend it. Good selection of draft beers. Tried a barleywine that was on point. Server was still in training, so benefit of the doubt for any small mistakes and extra credit for having a training program. read more

I went to Boundary Stone with a group for brunch and we all got a variety of items. The fried chicken and french toast, the short rib hash, the honey hot chicken sandwich, and the breakfast BLT. I think all of us thought the food was good, but they were not great at refills of coffee or water. It was unclear if coffee should've been refilled. The most egregious thing that happened was that when we got there, they asked us to move tables so that the owner of the restaurant could sit at ours to watch the Eagles game (that didn't start for two hours). So we get up and walk to the new table, but we couldn't sit there either, so then they bring us back to the original table. The whole rest of the time, we got the feeling that we weren't really welcome. I don't know if that colored the food, but it ended up just not a great experience!! read more

I live absolutely nowhere near this place, but I enjoy meeting friends who do live nearby for drinks. The ownership did a pretty good job with the space, and although its not a very big space, the high ceilings in the bar make it feel a little bigger than it is. The beer offerings are pretty solid, and the service is always courteous. I always opt for the inside space, either at a booth or at the bar. I've tried a few selections on the menu, and have never been dissapointed, and I'm always a sucker for deviled eggs. They also have pickle backs, which I can never resist. I would also note that the bathrooms are much nicer than you would normally expect to find in a small spot like this. read more

My rec league soccer team usually comes here after our games (either reveling in victory or drowning our sorrows in defeat) to grab some beers and food. It's definitely become our go-to place in the Bloomingdale/Eckington neighborhoods. Great beer selection and good rotating taps. I haven't had a bad beer/meal here. Only suggestion would be to somehow find a way to put a TV in the entrance room. There are some football fans I know that would be oh-so appreciative! read more

I've been coming here since it opened. I love the Honey Hot Wings and the Bleu Burger (minus the pickled beets, I loathe beets). Anyhow, the atmosphere is a great and the staff is very welcoming. Lol, just be careful when ordering liquor. I made the mistake of getting an 18 year old Japanese whiskey multiple times. Let's just say that my bill was a lot more than I had anticipated. read more

Update: I still love this place. Why did I only give four stars before?? The bartenders and servers are the best. I love the seitan wings and the deviled eggs and all the specials. I love all the whiskey, and I'm happy with the recent updates to the whiskey menu. This is definitely my go-to spot. read more

I came here last night for some drinks and wings. While I didn't try anything else from their menu, all my neighbors' food looked and smelled delicious--I am looking forward to coming back and trying more from their menu. The service was great as were the wings. My two glasses of malbec were served in a water glass (kind of weird) but were therfore heavy pours. The dining area (not where the bar is located) is pretty cool and basically just looks like an extremely renovated alley with cool lighting. I'll be back! read more
