Stopped in this local bar to have something to eat and watch March Madness. The food was good, but the service was terrible! The manager could have cared less about being there as she sat at a table in the back of the restaurant. The bartender is ALWAYS unfriendly, so we decided to try a table this time. The gentleman that is usually there and is very efficient wasn't there. Needless to say, the service was also terrible with the exception of the runner. I think next time we'll just pass and spend our money somewhere where our business is appreciated. read more

Stoney's seems to be in a popular location, there were a lot of people out and about that evening. There was ample seating and lots of TVs. However, only one TV was dedicated to the NBA finals. That seemed rather odd. There is a second floor to Stoney's, but it wasn't open this night...and no one seemed to be able to tell us why. We had a group of 8 and had to leave to watch the finals elsewhere. I did try some food here. The menu boasts a list of items they are famous for, and none of those were recommended to me when I asked for input from our waitress. Another oddity if you ask me. If you're looking for a bar to just hang with friend, then Stoney's might work. I wouldn't go thinking you'd be able to find what yoy need on the TVs. read more

They serve the best grilled cheese ever. If you feel like being a fatass, order it and you won't regret it. This place is cheap, has a wide array of beers and the waitstaff is attentive and friendly. The place sticks out a bit on P Street because it has a dive bar feel without actually being a dive bar. I've never been to the upstairs part of this place, and I haven't even entertained the idea, because downstairs has a better vibe and feels like a hometown bar. read more

Descent food but they wouldn't turn the hockey game on, the football game is on every tv, one TV with hockey would be a problem why??? read more

Stoney's - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Every morning, I wake up and crave pork nachos. That is not an exaggeration. That is all.

I've gotta say that I've only been here once - late, on a Saturday night - and haven't actually come here for a meal. But, in my brief Stoney's encounter, I found: 1) great beer, 2) plenty of tables to be had, 3) cheap (for DC) prices, and 4) one mighty fine brownie sundae. It was a perfect place for a late-night pitstop with a group of friends. If I lived closer, this would be my neighborhood bar of choice. read more

I had flown into DC for a conference. My (almost 30yo) boy picked me up at DCA and, noting that I hadn't eaten, took me to Stoney near his place. We managed to get a 2-top i the window right away which was perfect for watching the Friday night scene off 14th street. I had a great burger with perfect fries and a green salad. Perfect bar food and good local beer choices. By the time we left (several pints later) the place was jammed. No complaints, I'm a fan. read more

Went to this bar on St. Paddy's Day - Despite all the incredibly drunk assholes (also known as me and my friends), this place was great. Didn't have any SPD specials, which I thought was odd, but their prices are pretty good anyway. Um, the food is ridiculous. Get the grilled cheese or a pizza. Awesome. read more

GRILLED CHEESE. Thick wad of American on lovely (buttery) toasted bread, complete with a side of fries and little bit of coleslaw. So good! The selection of beer is decent. The server was friendly and made sure to check up on us. We also came here for their trivia night, not enough space, very humid and crowded. Reasonably priced food and drinks. read more

By far my favorite place we have eaten at since being in DC. It's got a total dive bar feel with great food and quick service! You can tell this is a place the locals frequent read more

So, after receiving no service at Halo on Saturday night, we strolled next door to Stoney's to wait for our friend, who's a manager at the P Street Whole Foods, to get off work and stroll across the street. We got a bar table pretty quickly once the completely trashed people were finished making out on it. It's your average bar food and cold beer joint. Not a destination place for me, but somewhere I'd go to meet a friend for a beer if I lived close by. The lights were brighter than most places and they didn't dim them until about midnight (maybe to aid people's beer goggles). A lot of people were smoking in there but they had one of those really good smoke-e-teers, so it wasn't bothersome. I had ten thousand Red Hook beers (because the Hefeweizen was tapped) and an order of wet fries that are French fries with brown gravy that's like the sauce on a Salisbury steak frozen dinner. The waitress was pretty cool and the atmosphere was pretty diverse. I think it's their new location. I know they were about to go out of business over the summer but rallied back. The sauce that comes with Stoney Burger is supposed to be awesome, but I was having beer for dinner. Nothing brilliant. Nothing bad. Good neighborhood joint. read more

Stoney's is a solid neighborhood pub that does a good job with standard pub food at pub food prices. There's no pretense here -- just friendly service, quality burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches and a host of accompaniments to clog your arteries, like chili cheese fries, wet fries (with gravy) and fried calamari. I think you can get bacon on just about anything, too. The buns are particularly good -- buttery, light and fluffy. They have a diverse selection of beers on tap, and the prices are very reasonable. read more

It's refreshing to see a restaurant that serves just plain old buffalo wings - just buffalo wings, no mild/honey/hot/atomic/XXX or boneless varieties. And they're good wings, too, flavorful and spicy, but not so spicy that you taste buds are numbed. The reuben is pretty good, as are the cheesesteak and the burgers. The fries are great - again, they're your standard french fries, but they're just crispy enough and just the right cut. It would be better if they had a better craft beer selection, but as long as they keep Founders Centennial IPA and Kona Fire Rock Pale Ale on tap, I'll be satisfied. All in all, a great neighborhood place, which was part of the neighborhood long before Logan Circle became what it is today. read more

Wandered into this place around noon to grab brunch on a whim. Sat at the bar with the very absent bartender; he was at the bar, just not paying attention to the bar patrons. The place got packed rather quickly (by 12:30 pm, there were few tables left). Beer selection was surprisingly ok, based on the small number of taps, but they do have the macros, too, so this is not a destination bar. I enjoyed a Bells Porter and my husband had a Breckenridge IPA. I ordered the Greek omelet (spinach, feta, tomatoes). I think they used canned tomatoes, since my plate was had a decent amount of liquid below the omelet. The potatoes are cooked in peppers and onions, and they helped sop up the tomato juice after I was done my omelet. The husband ordered the Pastrami Delight. He loved it; it's the kind of sandwich you order in a bar like Stoney's. It had great flavor. FYI: Menu states clearly: NO SUBSTITUTIONS. We got the check rather quickly and had to wait about 10 minutes before the bartender even looked our way to take our credit card. The place is a good greasy spoon/dive bar. Bonus: It was nice to see one of the guys in the kitchen with a Phillies hat on. read more

I don't frequent the Logan Circle area often, so I've always heard of the infamous grilled cheese sandwiches at Stoney's, but only recently was able to experience it in person. The thick slices bread with ooey gooey melted cheese in between was delicious. Grilled cheese aren't difficult to make, but they mastered it at Stoney's. The draft beer list was also pretty decent. The crowd was really laid back and our waiter came to check on us often enough that we rarely had an empty pint glass in front of us. I will definitely make return trips to Stoneys in the future! read more

Good little spot for beers/bar food in an area that lacks that kind of outlet. Great Reuben...classic sandwhich done right. Texas Burger is dope, covered in BBQ sauce and coleslaw. And there's always the Super Grilled cheese, with bacon/onion/tomato on HUGE greasy texas toast. Draft beers are good/clean lines. Oh, almost forgot, my fiancee LOVES the bloody mary....really spicy and freshly made. Lot of garlic!! read more

Service was fine. Wished the refills of soda came a little faster. But - for a Sunday at 2pm - we got to sit right away and were fed pretty quickly. The grilled cheese was awesome. I highly recommend it. Perfectly toasted bread - not too greasy - a great hangover cure. read more

I like this place. Good selection of beers and the best place my neighborhood to get pub food - especially love the grilled cheese. I like sit in the high tables near front windows or if lucky get one of the 4 sidewalk tables. Jason is a great waiter. read more

I had a chance to stop by Stoney's this past Thursday around happy hour and I came here more for the eats than anything else. Overall I was very satisfied. Stoney's is known for their Grilled cheese sammiches but I was not in a G.C. mode so I ordered the grilled chicken and my goodness was that thing hitting. Most of their sandwiches on their menu comes with fries so you get that nice 2 for 1 thing going on. My sandwich was nice and tender along with a couple strips of bacon so you know I was pleased. Also besides their sandwiches Stoney's does have a nice selection of beers, I wouldn't describe it as outstanding on any level but they do have a hodgepodge of liquid courage. My visit was not complete until I tried as a lovely yelper called it their "amazing cornbread". The very nice bartender explained to me I must try it even though it usually comes with chili and on this day it was about 90 degrees out. Homey hooked me up with a slice and it was good, it had the consistency of cake than the cornbread you see in the movie "Life". It really made my day and I left there happy, so thanks for the advice and I will try the ham grilled cheese on texas toast, damn that sounds like fire! I'm only taking a point off for parking, meters in the area are good for an hour tops, next time I will park at the Whole Foods across the street, there it is free 99. read more

Great spot for reasonably priced food and drinks. Their grilled cheese is, of course, superb. You can get various toppings on your grilled cheese (bacon, tomato, etc.). It's made with thick bread toasted to perfection. I've also had the grilled tuna sandwich, and it was quite good. The tuna filet was very high quality, so I was glad I opted to have it prepared medium rare. Very flavorful and came with lettuce, tomato, and tarter sauce. They have great happy hour specials, and their drink prices in general are much cheaper than many of the bars nearby. read more

Stoney's is pub-away-from-home. The bartenders are wonderful and beer experts who make the effort to introduce new and great taps. The wait-staff are attentive and friendly, and the regulars make this place feel like there is a real community but not exclusive of others. The newly opened upstairs bar has addressed the occasional overcrowding, and has a wider selection of bottles to go along with the additional taps (as well as pool and shuffleboard). The kitchen is exceptional. First, they're open until 1:30 and there is not a better place to get food that late anywhere in the Dupont-Logan corridor. Second, the effort has always been made to make quality food: the Super Grilled Cheese raved about, their pizza use home-made dough which is almost sourdough in it flavor and texture, the Texas Burger (bacon, smoked cheddar, grilled onions, bbq sauce, cloe slaw) is as overwhelmingly wonderful, and the rest of the menu is just as solid. For my time & money, there is no better pub in DC. read more

If you love comfort food, Stoney's is the place for you! Their sandwiches are delicious. Their grilled cheese sandwiches are by far the best in the city. Served with really crispy fries and on buttered toast, these sandwiches ooze with cheese. I'm a fan of the regular grilled cheese and my boyfriend loves the Super grilled cheese, with bacon, tomato, and onions added. They also have a great selection of draft beers. Nothing like a grilled cheese and a Hoegaarden to wash it down :) Stoney's is great for a quick bite and a good draft that won't hurt your wallet. read more

Went recently with a friend for a random Saturday bite. The bar service was excellent, and the crab cake was one of the best I've had this season in The District. read more

Stoney's - Crab cake appetizer. - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

After some friends decided to make this the bar of choice to celebrate their birthdays, I decided to come early before the drinking began to have a taste of what was in store. A friend and I split a decently priced pitcher, I ordered a burger with the special Stoney's sauce and my friend ordered a greek salad. The burger was outstanding, and the sauce was great too, a mix of fabulous flavors, leaving no need for ketchup or mustard. The french fries were the thinly cut, good, but not fabulous. Of course, I had to have a try of the greek salad my friend ordered. It was pretty good. It was a big serving of fresh ingredients and just the right amount of dressing. The night ended in the upstairs bar, with good beers and a nice atmosphere. Great bar for cheap good food and beer. Now I wish I had only tried the grilled cheese sandwich! read more

This review is specific to the upstairs for a wedding event that I attended (not my wedding). The bartender poured a proper Guinness. The review could end there and the place would be solid, but, in addition, I never felt like I was competing for attention and I was able to talk, without too much noise, with other guests, and they set out a huge selection of pub food (sliders, chicken strips, fries, onion rings, vegetable platter) that was satisfying. Even more additionally, there's a good amount of bar seating and they were able to play the World Series game on a number of well located TVs. Struggling to think of a negative for it as a venue, only issue is you might blow past the stairs going up, but you'll eventually find your way. read more

I went here to enjoy a brew with my buddy to watch the NCAA Championship. It looks like they have a good beer selection and I did enjoy a couple nice honey wheat beers. The ambiance feels like a good bar. It's a place I would like to frequent more often if I lived closer. The bartender was cool and gave me sample to check out. People were also eating pizzas and appz that looked pretty good. I liked Stoney's because it wasn't pretentious and was a good ambiance for watching sports. read more

I just started working in the area and this has been a favorite go-to place for lunch! The times that we have been there, it hasn't been very crowded, but it can take awhile to get the check after you are finished. You pretty much have to flag down the server for it. Not that I mind sitting in a bar all afternoon though! The food is delish! The grilled cheese is definitely one of the best that I have had! It's a decent sized sandwich with a decent amount of cheese...think ooey gooey melting out the sides of the bread! There is enough cheese on it too, that when you get to the crust, you still have cheese left on your sandwich. The fries are decent too! The kind of remind me of fast food fries, but nonetheless are yummy! I have heard from my coworkers that the prices recently up, but I think I will still be coming here pretty regularly. read more

We checked into our hotel near Scott Circle and needed to find a place for lunch. All we really wanted was something simple and a few beers. A quick Yelp search that said they had local beers, sent us to Stoney's. Our bartender was very nice. (Though when we asked what brews were local he told us the Stoney's Amber was but the tapper clearly states it's really Michelob Amber with the Stoney's name on it.) My crab cake sandwich was very good. My wife very much enjoyed her chicken reuben. For a pub lunch with decent beers, good food and fair prices, it definitely met our expectations! read more

Stoney's had a great happy hour deal ($4 amber ale) and the cheeseburger I had was fantastic! The service was quick and friendly which was appreciated. read more

After hearing so much about Stoney's, I finally made my way over to find that this place is nothing special. On a Saturday night it is crowded and the service is just OK. The beer selection is definitely nothing to write home about, and the crowd isn't either. It has a laid back vibe, with giant TVs, but seemingly no one watching them. It is not quite a dive bar and not quite a sports bar. For a neighborhood bar, Stoney's is a nice place, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to get there. read more

I think I'm going to start a Thursday winter ritual of going here specifically for a grilled cheese and soup. It's the little things in life. I was super hungry after work and it's cold out and it occurred to me that I've lived in DC far too long to not have been to Stoney's before when they are rumored to have the some of the best grilled cheese in the district. It's a standard bar and has everything a standard bar should. Service was great. Staff were amicable and on point. I was in and out fairly quickly. They have a reasonable happy hour but prices are fine to begin with. The reviews on the grilled cheese are pretty on point too and man did their tomato soup/grilled cheese combo hit the spot. I love that they have several kinds so I opted for the multigrain with swiss, arugula and cherry tomatoes. YUM! read more

I am actually quite impressed by the menu at Stoney's, which is lengthy in a Chinese-restaurant kind of way, but well-diversified (as in, there aren't eight different ways they serve spicy beef). Typical American-bistro/pub style food, but the quality and prices are good. I was charmed by the special of the evening, which was a rockfish sandwich. It was a very sizable portion of fish (5 or 6 ounces), but quite fishy-smelling. I do not have a problem with this, but others may. Just saying. If you're a fan of cole slaw, the slaw here is top-notch. Thin and crunchy, more vinegar-y than most other places. This is not slaw that's been swimming in mayo under a heat lamp. Solid beers on tap, but nothing too crazy or unique. The upstairs lounge is nice when you need to get away from the crowds downstairs (and it can get pretty loud and busy on the weekends). The service is never surly or brusque, but it is quick and to-the-point. No idle chit chat here, which you may find either efficient or rude, YMMV. The only reason I don't give more stars is because I inevitably wind up here after I've already been out for a while. It's the tiredness and alcohol that makes things start to sag, not Stoney's itself. read more

I have heard the "wonders of Stoney's grilled cheeses" but my oh my, the tales are TRUE! On a rainy monday night, a friend and I sought refuge at the bar. Bartender was very nice and hit all points of service. We ordered a round of beers, salad app and I went for the classic grilled cheese with added tomato that made Stoney's #famous. Shortly after our order, out came our salads and grilled cheese with fries. Salad was great and refreshing with fresh crunchy vegetables and a tasty dressing. Grilled cheese sandwich comes on THICK garlic roasted texas toast with oozing cheese and tomato. Delish! Fries were thick cut and great with salt. Bar is chill and laidback attracting many locals watching games on tvs everywhere you looked. Great service, amazing grilled cheese/late night eats, and tvs all around. For a laidback vibe, I'm a fan! read more

Great place, small, friendly, seemed clean. Came at 12:45 and kitchen was closed. Hours aren't accurate.

Its Sunday, late night, gotta catch the last Metro train, hungry, where to go for take out? Did a yelp search and found Stoney's. I am so happy I did. The grilled cheese was soooooo good. I am looking at the reviews on the side panel as I am writing this and they ALL mention how good the grilled cheese is. I had no idea what they had when I came here. I was just hungry. It looks like I ordered the right item. Also, the fries arent too shabby either. As I was waiting for my food I realized I miscalculated the time of the last train. Since it looked like I would be taking a taxi home I figured I would hang out for awhile and sat at the bar to eat my food and had a couple of beers. Plus they had Shark Week on the TV. How awesome is that! The bar tender Phil was super down to earth and overall a nice guy. Were both in grad school, fairly new to DC and he's been all over the world so we had alot to chat about. A very cool guy. The overall vibe of the bar was cool too. No attitudes, no pretentious folk,and not overrun with hipsters. Just a good variety of "normal" chill people hanging out. If I lived in the area this would definitely be my go to chill spot. read more

Definitely my "go-to" bar in DC. The fact that I live a few blocks away was the factor that originally got me in the door, but I continue to go for the food, cheap beer, and overall (as close to dive you can get in Logan) atmosphere. It always feels welcoming, whether at 6pm on a Wednesday or 1am Saturday. Service is ehh, but that clearly doesn't seem to be a priority and at the same time nobody really seems to care anyway. I have only eaten one thing on the menu here, and I never will try anything else. If I am coming to Stoney's, I am coming for the grilled cheese. Unlike some of those fancy grilled cheese places that have opened up over the years, this sticks to the basics. Thick cut bread, simple american cheese, and butter. Lots of cheese and lots of butter. The best day to come is half-priced Thursday, where I can gorge myself on grilled cheese, french fries, and lots and lots of pickles. Heaven. Buttery, oozy, cheesy. Seriously, what's not to love? read more

Nice place in Dupont Circle area. Cuban sandwich was substantial and flavorful. These DC restaurants are going to seem expensive for non urban tourists, but cheap for here. read more

A total gem! After having no luck at restaurants near the 9:30 Club before a concert, we ventured out to the area and stumbled upon Stoney's. A little divey, it would be easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. I got the pulled pork grilled cheese which was AMAZING and my husband, a Native Texan, said it might have been the best burger he has ever had. We will make it a point to go back! read more

Stoney's is solid. Reasonably good selection of beers, decent bar food - burgers, grilled cheese (mmmmm), onion rings, fries, etc. It's your basic college dive bar, but add 10 years to the average age of its patrons. It's not too noisy, not too quiet, not too dirty, but also not that clean. read more

Good neighborhood spot for conversation over bar food and beer. Pros: Good pizza, not loud, close to my apt, clean. Cons: I wish they had some more domestics on tap and the waitress that I seem to always get stuck with has a major attitude. Oh and the bar stools are not very comfortable. read more
