There is plenty of bar seating as well as table seating. The staff and customers were both diverse, which my wife and I always appreciate. We were seated immediately, and our server was friendly and funny. It was a hot day, so aside from ice water, my wife had the I Street Punch and I had a cold beer. Of course, both hit the spot. For food, my wife had a burger and fries, I had a burger and tater tots, and everything was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. We also split a chocolate lava cake with whipped cream for dessert. I definitely ate too much, but no regrets. It was a great meal and a great experience overall.

Dear reader, The…read moreBottom Line has been one of our DC staples for nearly 10 years, and at this point, the staff genuinely feel more like friends. They are always so nice, fun, and welcoming, and that familiar atmosphere is a huge part of why we keep coming back. The downstairs space has a cool, classic DC bar vibe, with a popular bar to settle into and tons of TVs for watching games. The food is consistently great, the drinks are equally reliable, and it is particularly fantastic for Purdue games. When a big playoff or tournament game is happening, the place gets absolutely packed and lively, with everyone cheering together and having a brilliant time. It is organised chaos in precisely the way a proper sports bar should be. After nearly a decade of visits, The Bottom Line remains one of those places where we always know we are going to have fun. Great staff, great drinks, good food, and fantastic game-day energy. Boiler Up!

I enjoyed brunch on the patio on an 83-degree day, and the setup was surprisingly comfortable…read more There were fans throughout the patio, and I didn't break a sweat or even need to use my portable fan. Service was okay at times, and other times exceptional, though it seemed like there may have only been one waiter covering the entire patio. I did the bottomless brunch, which included orange juice or pomegranate. The orange juice was definitely the better option for me. The Champagne Sunrise also came with a drop of pomegranate. Shoutout to our waiter. I liked that the mimosas are not pre made and you can pour to your liking. For food, I had the Charley Burger with a sunny-side-up egg, and it was pretty good. I also tried the steak, which was decent. All of the food was good, but I was especially surprised by how much I enjoyed the potato cakes and gravy. I'd definitely recommend trying them. One thing to be aware of is that a wellness fee is automatically added to the bill. Overall, it was a nice spot especially if you can sit on the patio.

Everyone working here is nice and the service is quick. We started by splitting an order of the beignets, which I don't think are all that good. They're on the smaller side, which isn't a problem, but they weren't fluffy at all. They were crispy on the outside, but the inside was close to hollow, so you don't get the experience that you expect with a traditional beignet. I ordered the farm egg omelette and a pomegranate mimosa, both of which were solid. Nothing stood out, except for the potato cake, which was crispy and not as dense as I thought it would be.

Came here yesterday for the first time during happy hour at the recommendation of a friend. He said…read morethe burger was delicious and he was absolutely right. We sat outside on the patio. Lots of seating and pet friendly if that's your thing. The happy hour includes some beer, wine and rail drinks+mixer. Pretty affordable in today's economy. I will take a pic next visit because I will return. The burger and fries is not on happy hour but was a great price and portion at 18 dollars. I also had another mezcal based cocktail that was well made. Me and my friend enjoyed our drinks, food and service and will return.

First time stopping here! What a fun, local bar!…read more It was St Patrick's Day and I wanted a Reuben. Tune Inn was named a couple times, so I checked it out! Ordered through the Toast app. Easy to order and customize with type of bread and wither corned beef or turkey. Comes wit fries but I upgraded to onion rings for a $1 more. When I got there, it was hopping! What a fun, celebratory vibe for St Patrick's Day! Fun energy, green cups, and happy people! It's a smaller space, with the bar upfront and seating in the back half. I was helped quickly from one of the bartenders. She went to check on my order and while she was gone I had two other employees ask if I needed help - super friendly and willing to help! I happened to meet the owner, Lisa, who was awesome and introduced me to some of her team. It gave such a fun family feel with everyone there and how I wish I could have stayed for a beer! Next time for sure! The Reuben lived up to what I hoped it would be - balance of sauerkraut, corned beef, Swiss cheese, thousand island, and rye bread. Overall pretty lean meat, which is a huge plus for me. The onion rings - yum! Crispy but still thick onions for a good bite and a nice saltiness to bring out the flavor. There were 6 large onion rings. I'd absolutely order this again in the future! Excited to return there with friends in the future!

We were able to snag a table easily and went to the bar to order a beer and a cider and some cheese curds. The drinks we're nice and cold and tasty. The cheese curds were good with a nice tomato sauce to dip. We really like the vibe of the place. Very homey and welcoming. We went back to the bar to order more food. We really like their menu and it was hard to decide, but we ended up getting a pastrami sandwich with mac & cheese, and curry fries. The curry fries were heavenly! They were nice big steak fries with a delicious brown curry sauce. We licked up every drop of that sauce! You can actually order just the curry sauce to dip whatever you'd like into it The mac & cheese was very tasty. They used curly pasta, and the cheese sauce was wonderfully creamy. The pastrami sandwich was a little light on the pastrami, but very delicious. It came with pickles, sauerkraut, and cheese on it, on a marble brown bread. Definitely wanna give a shout out to the staff, which couldn't have been more professional or nicer. We never had to wait for service and our food and drinks came out quickly. The bartender was just the sweetest. Exiles is definitely going to go on our favorites list and we hope to go there again soon.

We heard this was a Bills backer bar so we came to watch the game. The bar was packed and the crowd was wild! The bartender, if I remember correctly, was from Ireland.

It's a shame because even in this culinary idiom, there's plenty of great possibilities for plant-based dishes. The salad was fine; quite pricey for a small portion but when you consider you're a block or two from the White House it's within expectations. Despite having a group reservation, I was misdirected to a private event room downstairs, which looked cool but had me wandering around cluelessly. The main dining area was quite loud and it wasn't a great setting to have a real conversation. Downtown DC is notorious for high-impact wheeling and dealing dinners, but I assume they happen in more private spaces. The service I ultimately received was smooth, and I wish the place no ill will, but it wasn't was I was looking for in a night out.

My only dislike is that the side dishes were served family style. This was probably chosen by the meeting host so not a dig to the restaurant. I don't like family style because you end up getting less than what you want so there's enough for the table. And many times there's never enough. My salmon was delicious. I loved the sauce. I wanted more potatoes but only got a dollop. . The salad was very fresh.
