    This was a fantastic place to watch the Liverpool game! The bartender was fantastic about getting people water and serving a full house as quickly as he could. Would absolutely recommend! No idea about the food though lol

    Cherry Chouffe
    Keilon L.

    Some of the best beers in the world from the best beer manufacturing country in the world, Belgium, and food to go with it...Yes, please. The bartender was great. She actually knew her beers and wasn't just back there pouring without knowledge (nothing bothers me more from a bartender; see one of my previous, very brief bar reviews). She convinced me to branch out to find some new flavors aside from my Chouffe preferences and I appreciate that. I also went with the steak sandwich option as opposed to the burger that initially caught my eye. It was a solid, but messy choice as the bread used falls completely apart spilling the sandwich everywhere. A proper French baguette would have been ideal as opposed to a soggy-ing hoagie roll. I got a dessert also, but mostly because I was teetering on drunk and needed something else to soak up the libations--enter the Belgian waffle. It wasn't memorable. It reminded me of the ones you get from the vending machine in the metro stations in Paris but luckily with less added sugar so that was appreciated. This was a solid spot with a small ruelle (alleyway) in Brussels kind of feel. I'll come back before the impending tariffs make it too expensive to import European alcohol.

    Bouillabaisse mussels with seafood, saffron, garlic, tomato
    Calder S.

    Granville Moore's is a DC institution that I've been going to on and off since about 2011. They are one of the best places in DC to get Belgian beer, mussels, and frites. On my recent visit, I shared two mussels ($26 each) and one frites ($10) among three people. This was enough food, especially with the bread they include for the mussel broth (we got three baskets). We had a couple beers to go along with it. We had the Champignons mussels with crimini, oyster, shitake & button mushrooms in white wine cream sauce plus the Bouillabaisse mussels with seafood, saffron, garlic, tomato. I usually get the classic Mariniere (white wine, garlic, herbs). Both types were good. The bouillabaisse reminded me of the Mariniere in terms of broth flavor. I didn't get any tomato. It came with some shrimp and white fish pieces. The champignons came with a cream sauce that wasn't too thick. It was also good but I wish I had a bit stronger flavor. One of the downsides of mussels as a food is that they are served in broth, yet the broth doesn't really stick to them. Bread is necessary to mop up the sauce. The fries were excellent: thin, extra crispy, perfectly salted. They come with dipping sauces but I didn't need them. Our beers were all good as expected. We had a few from the happy hour menu. GM offers a good happy hour with food discounts but I wish they offered a slightly better beer happy hour. The beers with the better discount ($5 or $7 each) are are canned, not much to my liking, and don't really represent their Belgian beer menu. A few other beers on draft are discounted only $1 which makes them steep at $12-$14 each. When I visited, they were out of a couple, further reducing the selection. Service was friendly if a bit slow, because one bartender was serving all the tables and manning the bar on the first floor. I love GM's decor -- a really old school, wood and brick spot. It's unique in DC. I would recommend it on the decor alone.

    Granville Moore's is a hidden gem (?) in the H Street Corridor, with amazing drinks, food and ambiance. I'm not sure if it's a hidden gem, but nobody I knew really talked about it much. This place deserves way more praise!! The Belgian beers are delicious as always, and the menu is extensive. Reminds me a lot of Monk's Cafe in Philly, which is also fantastic. Service here is really fast and friendly! The bartenders work super hard as do the kitchen staff. You can tell they've been around for a while and know what they're doing. To eat, I had the mussels and fries. I had never had mussels before, and they set a pretty high bar here! They were super tasty, and I really enjoyed being able to dip the fries in the yummy sauces they provide. I love the vibe in here. It's very old school pub-like, and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area. Thank you Granville Moore's!

    This place is a gem located on H st , it resembles an Irish Pub, I bring all friends here and they love it. Food is excellent, happy hour is great and the dishes are pretty shareable. Great selection of yum beers, the service is pretty good as well. Make sure to try the mussels and the Brussels Sprouts.

    Beautiful historical building
    Brandis S.

    I stumbled upon this adorable restaurant/bar as an escape from the rain after a disappointing ramen meal. I was still hungry and was excited to find a Belgian restaurant, as there aren't any in the city where I live. I'm so glad I found Granville Moore's and I will definitely be back! I ordered the mussels mariniere and they were fantastic!! Incredibly flavorful, cooked perfectly, and served with delicious fresh bread to mop up the buttery garlic heaven left over in the bowl. The beer selection was extensive, but I didn't dive in during this visit. Service was quick and very friendly. The building itself has a tremendous amount of history, although I'm not sure what the story is as the historic sign was outside and it was raining when I visited. It was beautiful and created a unique atmosphere for a fun night out. I will definitely be back!

    Mariniere Mussels
    Matthew S.

    This was delicious. The mussels are said to be famous here and boy was that true! There was a generous portion in the bowl and it was sauced to perfection. The service was kind even with the room being a little cramped. I loved the Belgian atmosphere, like it was old Brussels! Recommend.

The cheese puffs and artichokes were mediocre, and the macarons were fine but nothing memorable. The tarte flambée was slightly below average. It tasted mostly like cheese and fat, with none of the depth or balance I expected. The biggest disappointment was the steak au poivre. We ordered it medium rare, which our server specifically said was also the chef's recommendation, but it arrived somewhere between medium and medium well. More surprisingly, it was one of the toughest steaks I have ever eaten. At $49, that is unacceptable. The mashed potatoes were equally disappointing: bland, not buttery, and nothing like the rich French pommes purée I expected. We also ordered the carrots, but they never arrived. At least we were not charged for them. The crème brûlée was good, but a good crème brûlée could not redeem the meal. The service was attentive and polished. The restaurant was also nearly empty at 5 p.m. on a Friday, with only one other table occupied inside and a few people outside, which in hindsight may have been a warning sign. Beautiful room, decent service, deeply disappointing food. I would not return.

    We happened upon this place when we were in the area after dinner. It was a Saturday night and it…read morewas surprisingly pretty quiet when we arrived, which I think was around 9pm. We sat at the bar near the back and were immediately greeted. The bartenders were super kind and quick. They chatted with us, but didn't linger. It was a great mix. They also ensured our drinks, including our water, were always full. They also brought out some snacks (on the house) for us. Music was on, but not too loud. We stayed for awhile, and pretty soon we looked up and were like, oh my gosh, this place is packed! Pretty soon there were people everywhere and it was so loud. We decided at that point we wanted to head out, but the bartenders still made sure to say goodbye. We will definitely be back when we are back in DC. Great vibes, atmosphere, and service!

I had passed…read morethis place before but had never actually gone in, so we decided to stop in and check out the happy hour situation. Drink-wise, we had the frozen mango margarita, which was very tasty, and my lady had the pisco sour, which was also really good and refreshing. For food, they team up with Little Miner Taco. We started with a small order of beef nachos. The flavor was definitely there, but my only complaint was that the toppings were a little underwhelming portion-wise. I would've liked a little more meat and toppings spread throughout the nachos. We also ordered the three-taco meal and went with the steak tacos. Those were absolutely amazing. Great flavor and definitely something I would order again. My only issue with the tacos is how the ordering works. With the three-taco meal, all three tacos have to be the same flavor. Since it was our first time trying the food, I would've really liked the option to mix and match three different tacos. They do sell tacos individually, but at around $7.50-$8 each, buying three singles ends up costing considerably more than the three-taco meal, which was around $20. They also offer a larger variety pack, but you can't substitute any of the taco choices in that either. I think allowing customers to mix and match would make it much easier to try different things, especially on a first visit. Atmosphere-wise, it was cool and laid-back. We went pretty early, around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Our bartender, who I believe was V, was very helpful, attentive, and provided great customer service. Overall, I definitely enjoyed The Haymaker and would go back. There were a few other things on the menu that caught my eye that I'd like to try next time. Aside from wanting a few more toppings on the nachos and a little more flexibility with the taco options, everything was solid. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 for me.
