For $35 you get a massive burger, crispy fries, and full access to an all-you-can-eat salad and side bar. The Smash Burger and Chef's Secret Burger absolutely hit the spot. Come by to Thursday Burger Nights from 5 PM - 9 PM plus explore the rest of their menu throughout the rest of the week and weekend! I also heard their wings are the best in the city so if you beat me to it, definitely try it.

My friend hosted a happy hour there, and I love when events like that introduce you to new spots. The drink specials were honestly amazing with $6 drinks, which is hard to beat. The food specials ended at 7 while the drink specials continued until 8, so I was a little bummed to miss out on that. One thing to note if you're ordering food, the four cheese pizza comes with burrata, which I didn't realize ahead of time. I'd definitely come back to try more of the food, especially the flatbreads since they seem to have a lot of good options. That said, I don't think the staff was fully prepared for the size of our group. My friend brought around 60 people on a Friday night, and it was clear the servers were overwhelmed. At times, it took over 10 minutes just to place an order. I don't necessarily think that's the norm, so I'd be open to coming back during a regular happy hour to get a better feel for the service. Great size bar as well.

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 had a pretty disappointing first visit to this bar. I was curious about their crab rangoon pizza,…read morebut when it arrived it was basically just a dry circle of dough with crispy bits on top. I understand not really putting crab, since most crab rangoons skimp on that (although it's disappointing for the cost), but to not put more than a tiny smear of cream cheese and to have hardly any sauce too? It was so dry, it really made me sad. Neither of those ingredients are expensive enough to justify being stingy. The concept alone should have made this a home run, but it was like if you bit into a crab rangoon and it was empty. I hope this was an off night because the amount they charged for what was basically just a slice of bread was shocking. It's spacious and seems like a fun place to hang out but I am really hesitating to order food here again despite adoring Mallard downstairs. The food quality is like night and day.

It feels like a friend's rich parent's fancy basement where you would get super wasted and play games with friends. Definitely come on a chill weeknight when it's quiet to avoid the chaos. The machines are pricier than other barcades, so we played more board games than pinball. It's more of a place to have a drink than to game for me. The bartender seemed unhappy when we walked in, and our group of 4 were the only customers so that was a bit awkward. The door guy was awesome though. We'd absolutely come back when in DC.

Absolutely love this place! Be warned--it is super loud and very crowded on Friday and Saturday…read morenights. However, that's exactly what I'm looking for when I go out. The music is always a great mix of 80s hits (Bee Gees, ABBA, MJ, etc.). The drinks are appropriately priced. If you're coming here to play billiards on the weekend, don't bother. It's almost impossible to get a table, unless you can beat the finance bros. Still super fun!

Both reported, it was an outstanding choice. They enjoy the time before they took the Metro back home. There are no complaints about the service, and they didn't really mention what the place looks like. But it could not have been too bad. They did say, it was clean and nice in the 22-year-olds that's a compliment. They also said it was convenient to get to the metro from there.

Runners just do that. Run around the restaurant throwing food down on tables and run back to the kitchen. Never checking on anyone to see if they need anything and how the food is. I ordered the SW Salad ($16.50) with a steak add on ($9.00) at medium temp. I also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder ($5.95) as an appetizer. Chowder came out pretty much right on top of my salad, but no big deal. Chowder was decent taste, but only found one clam. Ok whatever. Salad came out looking like a side salad on a large plate with five slices of rare, tough steak. It was so rare, that it was extremely hard to cut through, but again, who was I going to talk to about it. No wait staff would even look my way. I couldn't even get a refill on my water and there is no place in the app to order a glass of water...so that's that. Unfortunately it was just an extremely bad experience for $40. I'll be looking for dinner somewhere else tomorrow night.

It feels tucked away in the best way, like a hidden gem. The service was solid--friendly, attentive without being overbearing. What stood out most was their beer selection. There's a great variety, so whether you're into something light or want to try something more unique, you've got options. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for a laid-back night with good drinks and a cool, low-key atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

It was an unlikely stop for me but left me pleasantly surprised. Check it off the list and share with a friend.

The food was great had the wings and fries while my family had burgers and fries, but that wasn't the best part it was the staff. I came with my autistic child who had an episode. I had excused myself to calm her outside in their eating area so I didn't get to eat right away. I forgot the gentle man's name but he was amazing, he came to check on me and my child to see if we were okay noticed I left my food untouched and that I asked for a to go. Offered to bring it, I said no but he brought it and said please enjoy it was okay and that we were no bother that he wanted me and my child to enjoy the food. Him and all of his staff continued to check on my child to make sure we were alright, refilled our water without me asking due to being busy with my child. That to me that small gesture mattered and meant a lot to me. I truly appreciated their kindness and service. I definitely recommend for anyone to come here. You come for the food but the staff is what makes it more amazing. Thank you to everyone here.

This was approved by the Hostess Hanna and confirmed by the manager. 2) a good amount of tv screens and they played the volume pretty loud which was great. 3) great atmosphere and live 4) birria egg rolls delicious and summer salad very refreshing 5) server can use some customer service skills (very disappointing). We had to flag the servers to get service, but expected during a busy time. However I did notice the servers carrying buckets of ice and putting ice packs on their shoulders. Could be overworked. 6) overall we made the best of our experience. I wouldn't be opposed to visiting again.

Nice dive bar that gives you exactly what you're looking for…read more I was there during happy hour so I was able to enjoy some specials on beer and select shooters. I appreciate their drinks offerings (particularly beers) and quick service behind the bar. It's a little small on the inside which is okay as long as you're not visiting with a large group of folks. This is a great location for groups four or below - they have 6-8 bar stools and 3-5 tall bar-top tables to call home. We didn't try the food, but it looked good coming out of the kitchen. Will have on my list to try next time. I'm a big fan of dive bars in general, and this one hit the mark!
