The bar staff has always been knowledgeable on providing recommendations. For instance, they were the first place I tried the Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon. While it's not something I get frequently, since then I treat myself to it every full moon. They have selections from around the world and I have sent many friends here and they have been impressed. Also while their menu seems small-please know everything they offer that they do very well. The burger is delicious, the fries, the mac and cheese and wings are some of my favorite items. Go and enjoy!

The bartender was friendly and helpful, I'm not a whisky girl so I went with wine. My partner tried a whiskey that was recommended and then a whiskey based cocktail that were both really good. For food we tried the fat fries they were delicious, hot fresh and plentiful! My partner also ordered the chicken sliders, 3 fried chicken (thighs I believe) on biscuits with a drizzle of honey. The sliders were a bit dry for my liking and lacked any flavor/seasoning. Chill vibes and good service I would definitely return!

They specialize in beer and are one of the few places that allow doggies indoors. They also have an outdoor lot where they invite food trucks to come serve food! Parking is self parking on the street. The place was packed, but after waiting a few minutes we got a table. I liked the accents of wood everywhere and how people left notes written on napkins in the drawers of the antique furniture. For drinks, I tried the Love, Umma, which was a Korean beer that was developed by the owner, who is Korean and I loved the notes of ginseng and 누룽지 in it. It was light but also had a unique flavor.

The location right up against the Anacostia and across the road from Nats Park is really great. It's a breezy spot, with huge opened walls, which must be great when it's hot, but was dang chilly this evening. We ate just the pretzel and enjoyed the quality mustard and the very good beer cheese. The pretzel itself leaned a bit oily, but we scarfed it down and enjoyed it. Service was pretty good with friendly and helpful bartenders.

We ordered the Mac and cheese bites but they did not have any Mac.. it was just fried cut up mozzarella sticks. Which is great.. if that's what it was called on the menu. We also ordered a fried chicken sandwich and a pub burger. The chicken sandwich was fine. The pub burger was ... meh. The pretzel bun they brought out was over toasted and looked like it was pretty dry before that. Like it was HARD. No one came to check on us after the food arrived so I had to take my plate to the check out desk to address the issue. Cait took care of it right away; I asked for just a new bun - I don't mind swapping it out myself. But in the end the burger was still just meh. Almost forgot to mention the fries .. not great. They were salted well but the fries themselves were almost chewy. When we checked out, Cait said apologized and mentioned some staffing issues. She offered to get in touch with some sort of compensation but didn't offer to waive our one beer. We left paying full price for everything.
