Outstanding in every respect. One of our go-to places when in DC. Superb ambiance, exceptional servers.

Hamilton never really disappoints me. Dropped by for a quick bite to eat with friends after an event that was downtown. The environment is always busy, and fun. The servers are kind and attentive, despite the busyness of the place. I usually order the spicy crab roll, but I ordered the wings with mumbo sauce because I didn't feel like waiting an hour for happy hour to start at 2pm. My friend ordered a sushi roll before happy hour started, but she didn't receive her food until after 2pm, so the waiter comped her meal. The wings were great, and the mumbo sauce was really good (although it had more of a bbq sauce consistency). Garden salad is always a hit for me as well. The dressing is paired perfectly with fresh tomatoes, carrots, etc. Hamilton is metro accessible via the red line, and can be a quick stop for food that appeals to even the pickiest eater. Definitely drop by if you're in the area. read more

We were at a conference near this restaurant and it was recommended by a local. It's a small business that actually looks closed at the end of the road. Once inside it was really nice full of personality, and there was even a crowd. They had a bar and inside/outside seating, we were seated immediately and given ice cold water. The menu was simple but we saw someone near eating a burger so we chose the burgers me with Swiss cheese and my mom with American cheese, it was served with a sliver of lettuce, onions and tomato. They had mustard and ketchup on the table so we had to ask for mayo. The burger was thick and juicy but no flavor not sure if it's because it was closing time. The food was hot and freshly made. We also got kids meal tenders very hot but she ate it all. read more

Had dinner here while staying nearby in DC. A little tricky to find as it's tucked away on a back street. Sat at the bar, very dark. Had a Caesar Salad w/ grilled chicken. Chicken was tender, and the salad was pretty good. read more

Solid spot for dinner/drinks, especially if you're a packers fan. The cheese curds are AMAZING - I'd come back for those alone, haha. But the side salad and wings were also good. I'd come back! read more

My chicken tenders salad was flavorful! I liked it a lot. Our waiter hasn't come by much, though, for drinks or with the check. Ambiance is your typical sports bar. What irked me a lot was the infomercial channel playing the whole time. read more

It's a fun place to watch a game at. It's your typical dive bar. Grab a beer, cider or cocktail and a plate of wings & relaxxxxx. They get your food out QUICK. read more

So good! I'm not sure why this place has bad reviews. Great service, great food, great environment.

The bartender was incredibly rude when I was trying to order food and drinks and I literally was scared to say what I was going to order next because he was condescendingly interrupting me to ask questions. He then also didn't give me my drink which I had to ask another bartender who was much nicer. Never felt like this where I was basically being condemned to order food and drinks, such bad vibes. read more

Great place to grab a beer and kill some time. Staff are friendly and attentive. All the food smells delicious. read more

Great atmosphere and attentive service. Lots of variety in the menu. I had the tuna and a side of Brussels sprouts- both were very good. My dinner companions had seafood also and both liked their dishes. Would definitely come back. read more

We happened upon this place and were glad that we did! Great food and the service was excellent!

We walked into Hamiltoms about 3 on 4th of July. The place was pretty full. We got one of the last tables. The bartender was also our server. All the staff was working hard. My boyfriend had the Hamilton burger. It was great. (I may have had a bite of it) it was nice and juicy. I had the French dip. It had a delicious horseradish sauce on it. Dipping in the aujus just made it even tastier. I'm kinda sad I had a salad. The boyfriend had the tots....they were perfectly crisp. read more

Best atmosphere, service and crab cakes in DC. It's a must whenever we're visiting the area.

I have frequented Hamilton's the past two years I have been in DC and this is a great place in for a beer, food, and especially the pretzels! Prices are fair and reasonable and the staff is awesome. Scott Hamilton answers email ASAP and runs a great place. I will always come here when I'm DC and recommend it to everyone I know! See you guys again soon from Oklahoma! read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars. The staff was incredibly rude, possibly the worst experience I've ever had with customer service. The man at the front taking our order was aggressive and condescending. I was going to get a water cup and he screamed at me that I couldn't get water in that area and then offered no solution. To make matters worse, the food was mediocre. Do not give this place your money. read more

This place is tucked away off of Constitution Ave NW, on Second St NW. If you're in the area of Capitol Hill and become thirsty, this is a nice little watering hole. The service is good, staff members are kind and attentive. I would describe Hamiltons as a "dive bar" (these are some of my favorite bars), with cold beer and decent finger foods. Next time you're in the area, take a load off, and grab a beer. read more

Servers are Rude and gave Terrible service. Probably because they are Understaffed. Wouldn't sit us outside.

Came here for lunch with a group of friends. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich ($15) which overall tasted good, but the chicken itself was small. Tater tots are amazing and are a must. Service is pretty standard. read more

I got to my hotel at 12pm and my hotel room was not ready yet , so I walked over to get a few. Beers . And watch sports . The place looked out of place as it was across from the Capitol and surrounded by new office buildings . Once inside it had character and Green Bay packers banner . The bartender was busy pouring beer and taking food orders . Great location to start the capitol tour . read more

Bar room and there is more seating elsewhere Better than average pub. My server was definitely on top of everything so the service was excellent. This is the first time I've been here. This being said, the Rodeo burger was VERY good! It exceeded my expectations. read more

I'm always a sucker for a rodeo burger, no matter where it might be offered. When I see it on a menu I already know what I am going to order, even if I still read over the menu. I think I might be getting ahead of myself here, so let me go back a bit. Wanting to not have to walk very far from our hotel we decided to dine as nearby as we could. This spot was the closest thing we had on a Sunday that didn't include having to walk to Union Station. It was a short walk for us and we were lucky that when we showed up there wasn't much going on in here, making for a good time to get some food. When we walked in we were seated and had menus in hand. We then were greeted by our server. At first I thought he was a bit arrogant and off putting, almost like he was annoyed by us showing up. As the night progressed I realized that was just his way of dealing with everything. He loosened up with us and was great to talk to by the end of the night. He also knew his stuff when it came to beer and was able to make suggestions on which would be good based on taste. Back to the food. As I said, I had the Rodeo Burger. Even though there are many of these rodeo burgers out there, each place seems to have their own take on it with barbecue sauce being the common denominator. The burger is topped with cheddar cheese while it sits on a nice spread of barbecue sauce. Then you get a nice serving of onion straws on top of it all. And of course you cannot forget the bacon. The burger was big and you tasted everything the burger had in every bite. You get your choice of side with this. I seem to have been on a tot kick while here. Of course I went with those. They were nice a crispy and hit the spot. This place was great for a bite to eat and I am told by other colleagues a great place to get some work done. read more

We stopped here to grab a quick bite and cool off from the blazing heat. We were quickly seated by staff which was nice because he also immediately brought over a cup of water. We ordered a couple of beers, the flamethrower burger and a patty melt both with tater tots. The flamethrower had good flavor but was disappointing in that it didn't have standard toppings. No lettuce tomato nothing, just a ton of sliced jalapeños under the burger patty covered with pepper jack cheese. The patty melt was over cooked but still delicious. Tater tots were under seasoned but came out perfectly cooked and you can't beat that. The bar itself is super cute has a good chill vibe to it aside from all the gross Green Bay stuff on the walls :-). read more

Lovely lunch! Small place with fast & friendly service. Several tvs so you can watch the game. Swiss & mushroom burger was good. Blue cheese burger was good - balsamic onions were delicious Cheese curd appetizer was good. Ranch dressing was good. Turkey club was ok - bread seemed stale & dry. read more

Great pub food. Excellent hamburger and cheese curds. The bartender was my server and was super nice, quick, and attentive.

Perfect gem hidden amongst the business of downtown D.C. Put it in your GPS because it's tucked away if you're not from the area. Menu is straight forward but food was really good and well priced. Full bar with draft beer options. Friendly and chill staff with good local recommendations. Outdoor seating available. Overall great spot if you like a laid back ambience and simple tasty food. read more

What a fabulous happy hour and just a great local bar to visit. The bar is the place to be but there was plenty of seating available both indoors and out. Our bartender Steve was super nice and attentive. Great conversations with a few locals. Don't miss this place! read more

So it was my first time in DC and this was close to our hotel. Food-AMAZING I got the buffalo chicken sandwich and it was awesome. Great cheese curds too! Service- Our waiter was always paying attention and the food came out in a reasonable time. Ambiance- As a chicagoan, the packers stuff was interesting but nonetheless it was great HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Needed to find a place quick and pulled this spot up on Yelp. Never would have seen this place as it is tucked way back in at the back of 2nd. Glad Yelp found it for us. The inside is great but on a November evening with temps in the 70s we opted for the great outdoor seating. We were waited on and received our drinks and food quickly. Wife had the burger with blue cheese, bacon and pickled onions. She loved it. I had the Caesar salad with chicken. Nothing unique about it but everything was fresh and the chicken was tender. Would definitely stop again. read more

The food was great, and bartenders were awesome! It was empty because they had a water issue and had to close, but we got our order in and received our food before they decided to close. It gives the show Cheers vibes read more

We loved this restaurant! The bar was very nice. There was lots of beautiful woodwork. The service was great. The burgers were great. Overall, it was just what we needed after a day on the mall. read more

Definitely a bar place. I got the French dip and it was awesome. Juicy, flavorful, and done right. The tots were crispy. The server was friendly and came out to invite us in, helped us all the way start to finish. The atmosphere was great for the restaurant. read more

Stopped by here to watch the Olympics and have a late lunch. Overall it was just okay. The food was decent; we had wings, cheese curds, and split a grilled chicken sandwich. The cheese curds was the best thing of all three by far. Service was good, the staff worked hard and did a nice job accommodating the patrons wanting ti watch different events on tv. read more

Tough to find it on a side street but one of the closets sit down places near the national mall. Definitely would consider it a dive bar but the actual bar was surprisingly small. Service took awhile to seat us and take our orders and it didn't look busy. Went with the turkey club which was average but not as good as you would get at a diner. Cheeseburger was good but again not going to knock your socks off. read more

Generic pub food for a decent price in a great location. In basically every way this place is standard: you will get exactly what you expect from a sports bar in terms of price and quality and service. The notable exception is location, since it is quite close to the capitol building and the National mall. That makes it a great choice for a day spent exploring that area. read more
