Still a really strong place for dinner. I forgot to check if there was a Nats game, so it was pretty packed but since I had a reservation it actually wasn't much of a wait. I got the bluejacket double classic with fries and my fiancee got once lettuce wrapped. The pretzel for an appetizer was really good as was the beer. My favorite part of this place is that it's a re-invented space which was built in 1919 as a naval manufacturing plant for warships and other installations. I love spaces like this! read more

We almost walked back out. The hostess, Ashley was snappy and terribly put off. She needs to be retrained or bus dishes. We had a good meal and our waiter was excellent. But we were sweltering at our table that Ashly gave us.. When there were half a dozen tables open, she put us at an odd location, next to the entrance where you can feel the heat throw of theses sun facing window. We were literally sweating and wiping our faces and necks all through our meal. We were told that the AC has been on and off all day, get it fixed if you are charing $18 hamburgers. It was my partner's Birthday dinner and I was planning to buy a "First Class" membership for him... Alas I couldn't, after much waiting we were told by the management that memberships are handled through a 3rd party operation, no doubt to reduce operating cost and could only be purchased online, surprise! Segmented an decentralized, first eating establishment that does this. Honestly between the entitled hostess Ashely and not being able to purchase offerings realtime, it was kind of a bust for an establishment that is touted and priced to do better. Please retrain Ashley to understand and foster the basics of hospitality as a hostess. Her attitude is such a poor show and doesn't belong in a client facing position, maybe something back office... We look forward to improvements in our hostess Ashley and an operational AC, after all summer is just upon us and having just relocated across the Arsenal, we will be returning. Get into ship shape Blue Jacket! read more

Great beer and American food. Fried chicken, tatters the best handmade, pork snitzel okay too thin, thicker pork would be much better. Calamari was good. Cheesecake was not like cheesecake, not enough cream cheese. Not bad but not the best. read more

Love everything about eating here. It feels like an industrial log cabin inside (yes, I said that!) and is so cozy. The salads are fabulous! Little pricy but the ingredients are great and done well. I got the Cobb salad. The sun dried tomatoes and bacon were especially good, and the portion of the bowl was huge. read more

Jesus lord help these guys. Ordinarily a 5 star place has been decimated by terrible decisions. First of all This is a 5 star location, 4 star food, and 4-5 star beer. Someone made a decision to "fully Covid" the menu and you now have to order and pay for each beer one at a time ... tipping for each 7-8 dollar beer and food item as you order. As if this wasn't bad enough... when you order on this app and the beer is magically safe, it still comes out 20 minutes later, delivered by a human... If your going to tease me with a touch less process give me a shitty robot that brings my beer. Fix this Bluejacket... I can deal with the crowds you bring in for Nats games, I can deal with an actual person taking the order and bringing the food and beer to the table. And I'm not overly picky here ... I'm more than fair on other reviews but my experience here the other day (non nats home game) sucked. read more

We went during restaurant week and we're extremely underwhelmed. We felt rushed by the staff throughout the whole meal since you're required to order all courses at the beginning and food was coming out way too fast. Fish and chips were below average. Cool vibe inside and easy to get to. read more

Nice place to grab a quick bite after the game! You must try the loaded cheese fries! Definitely a guilty pleasure if your willing to cheat on your diet! I also have the French dip sandwich. The first batch was super heavy in Rosemary but wants it was pointed out they quickly addressed it and provided a second batch. And it was out of this world! The restaurant definitely provides laid-back Brewery vibes. Feel free to bring a deck of cards and hang out with friends after the game or on a weekend afternoon. read more

Came here a couple of weekends ago before our appointments with Navy Yard apartment buildings to explore the area a bit. Was very impressed with the place -- mostly for their ambiance, beer menu, and GREAT service -- not so much for the food. Our waiter, Justin, was awesome and spoke about the beer menu like he was the master of all beer. We were very impressed. We came here on a Saturday at 12pm thinking we would get brunch but they were only serving lunch because apparently brunch is only served on Sundays. May have picked a different place if we realized that but still very impressed with the service. When we first got there there were only a couple of other groups at tables there, but quickly it started to fill up. By the time we left the entire place was packed! The main thing I was disappointed about was the minimal amount of vegetarian options and almost no vegan options. I guess they play to their audience though. They had falafel to add to salads and a veggie sandwich (which was a bit pointless without the cheese). I went with the Mediterranean Salad without the cheese per Justin's suggestion. He gave me the option about adding the falafel but I opted not to. My boyfriend went for the veggie sandwich with fries and was pretty pleased. We also started with the tots -- which were hot but pretty good. I definitely want to come back someday and experience Bluejacket in the evening or during Happy Hour. read more

I ate at Bluejacket with my parents and boyfriend on a Friday night in June. The restaurant appeared almost entirely booked on Open Table, but when we got there, the place was not busy at all. If you ever run into a situation where the time slot you want is not available online, my advice would be to call the restaurant and have them set up your reservation. The menu was simple enough for my parents, who get thrown off my small-plate restaurants. The four entrees ordered were the scallops, two burgers, and the [whitefish]. We started with the mussels. All of the food came out very quickly and was super delicious. Our table also ordered a couple beers. My father, who doesn't drink much, even ordered one of the "tasting pours" to try. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere was great. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Navy Yard and certainly for folks who prefer entrees over share/small plates. read more

This past Friday I came to Bluejacket for the first time prior to the Nationals game. Bluejacket is located in the heart of The Yards next to the Washington Navy Yard. There is both inside and outside seating at this restaurant. Since it was a hot day I chose to sit inside. My waiter did a good job explaining both the menu and the in house brewery options. To start I tried a couple of the signature brews "for the company." It was on the lighter side, but had great flavor. For my meal I ordered the Mumbo chicken sandwich. The piece of chicken was huge! The mumbo sauce made it very messy, but gave it a ton of flavor. It also came with fries. Once I finished those I was stuffed. Before tip my bill came to just under $30. For the amount of food you get and for being in DC the prices are incredibly reasonable. The restaurant/brewery was clean and well taken care of. You can get here either by metro or if you are driving there is a small amount of street parking or you can park in any number of the paid lots in and around The Yards. I was very impressed. Keep up the good work Bluejacket. I hope to be back soon the next time I catch a Nationals game. read more

I rarely make it to this side of town but I was happy I did. Our server was great! The atmosphere is great for having drinks, dinner with the girls, a date or workplace functions. I was actually there for two out of three-dinner with the girls and drinks with colleagues. My cocktail was delicious-it was one of their specialties and we shared mussels. My bestie had cake that she said was delicious and judging from her consumption of the aforementioned cake, I would say it was delicious. read more

I'm really confused on this restaurant being labeled as brunch location. Very very small selection of breakfast items and the kitchen is not flexible!! Otherwise, service was ok and the drinks were ok. read more

This review is based mostly on the fact that information about this restaurant's service practices are not disclosed on the OpenTable reservation site. This is absolutely NOT a traditional, full-service restaurant. Patrons are seated (in a lackidasical manner), and required to scan a QR code to view the menu and select items. There is very little interaction with servers. The concept would work for more of a fast-casual type resturant, but for a place at this price point and type of menu, not having a server to explain items or request menu substitutions is frustrating. Also, one must add a tip at the time of payment, which is before service actually starts. There is no single, dedicated server for the table, which also complicates the tipping process. None of this information is provided on the reservation site, which is unfortunate. This definitely took away from the dining experience. If you're looking for a place that's convenient for pre-ordering while at a Nationals game, or walking around the Navy Yard area as a tourist, this is great. If you're looking for more of a traditional dining experience for a restaurant listed on OpenTable, this is likely not the place for you. read more

Came here without reservations for a late lunch on Father's Day. This restaurant is very spacious with high ceilings and an industrial feel. Our waiter, Connor was very attentive. We had a delicious brunch/lunch there. The fried chicken sandwich was delicious. The perfect pairing with coleslaw and sliced pickles. The piece of chicken was huge and slathered in a sweet and sour and a bit of spicy sauce. We also ordered the breakfast platter that had eggs, bacon, ham, sausage and toast. We shared the cinnamon buns and they were very tasty and freshly baked! I would definitely come back again! read more

The beer? 5 STARS. Bluejacket, hands down, my most favorite beers. The brewery, however, is separate from the restaurant - hence "Arsenal" at Bluejacket. The food? 5 STARS. Everything I've had here has been perfect, and the prices are actually not bad considering how expensive DC restaurants are. Whether I'm in the mood for small plates, a sandwich/burger and fries, or a nice dinner, Arsenal can fill that need. I had a beet poached salmon once that was perfectly cooked, a little raw in the middle just the way I like it. I also like that they have vegeterian/vegan options for my friends who need that stuff. Unfortunately the service takes the overall experience down. I'm sorry guys. I sat at the bar once and had no issues, but I've sat in the restaurant 3 times now and had bad experiences. They were all those types of outings where I would've ordered more (and spent more $$) but the invisible server was never there to order from. One time after my OpenTable reservation, I got an email from the manager asking how my experience was. I wrote a 500 word essay with fair and respectful complaint about the rude hostess and some mix-ups that happened. No response from the manager at all! LOL, so I guess they really didn't want to know how my experience was after all. I wouldn't recommend taking out of town guests or a date here. read more

I've been here a couple of times, but today I was very disappointed. I wanted the Rainbow Trout, but they were out of it at 1:30 PM (the lunch hour), so I settled for the Fish and Chips. The food was horrible. The cod fish was overcooked or re-cooked (hard). Nothing had any flavor! The fish was bland, the tartar sauce was bland, the coleslaw and even the fries were bland. How do you mess up fries!! I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I have been here 2 times now and they have a really good beer and food selection! I've liked just about every beer that I have tried and the food is decent as well. It is a nice atmosphere and is usually always super busy. My only complaint is that after my first experience of waiting 1.5 hours for a table, I made a reservation this time to ensure we'd get a table. We arrived for our reservation and still had to wait 20-30 minutes for our table. Other than that, it's definitely a go-to place in the Navy Yard area! read more

Great location to hit up after a Nationals game. Try the Mexican Radio....great flavor. Soft and silky Just make sure you pay attention to the time if you're doing a mid week baseball game....could be an expensive cab ride home. Plenty of TVs around the bar. Not a bad spot in the bar area. Decor is inviting read more

This is just my lunch salad experience only. The service was great (hence the 2 stars) but man was the salad terrible (negative stars). The Mediterranean chopped salad with pulled chicken was just a hot mess of mostly olives and chickpeas (gross). Finding the chicken was like looking for a needle in a haystack! Seriously folks, the "pulled chicken" consisted of three little crumbs, definitely less than 1 ounce of meat in there. All for a (not) bargain price of $19. After this so called meal, I immediately went to our office deli to get a proper lunch! P.S. There were two birds flying around the restaurant during my dining experience. Pretty disgusting and unsanitary. I swear I spied some bird shit trails on the side wall next to our table! read more

So I do judge a restaurant by its salad dressings. The ones here are good, I didn't ask but I would guess they are house made. Been here a few times, and I have really liked everything. First the ambience is cool. Industrial brewery look, garage doors open in summer. The beer is great, lots of interesting kinds and a couple rotating flavors. You can get small single pours of beer so you can try multiple kinds, their version of a flight. The food is excellent. The double burger is awesome, homemade version of Big Mac. The 1/2 pound burger is delicious too, with an onion ring and other stuff on it. Yummy. Beef cooked to order which is nice. The salads are great, dressings definitely good. The porchetta sandwich is delicious, but it needs more meat to round out the meat to bread ratio. Homemade tater tots-delicious, and the fries are really good too, I don't think they are previously frozen. They even have pierogies! They were excellent. Prices are ok, a meal could run $20-25 pp if you get beer, but they don't skimp on the portions. Servers are friendly, and will do separate checks which was extremely nice. read more

Loved it. In town for a couple of days of enjoying DC and we happened upon this place. We're so glad we did! They have an excellent selection of craft brews and the food was amazing. It's a bit loud (we were here for dinner before a Washington Nationals game, so a crowd was to be expected), but we really liked it. The vibe is pretty great with a lot of glass to let in natural light and an industrial fell to the decor. Some seating can be kind of close to your neighbor, but it was worth it for the food and beer. Service was excellent! We had both our server and a bar server as well along with a busboy that was there cleaning up as we went, but not in an annoying way. read more

Place is great nice crowd very laid back, and the design of the inside if the building is like your eating in the heart of a Brewery.... I enjoyed the Mexican Radio beet it's very dark and has a very unique taste it's kinda like an espresso but it's really good. The Ragged Sailor was pretty good, and the food was amazing had the Blue jacket her get with SOME OF THE BEST TATER TO I'VE EVERYDAY HAD! also with a side of the Warm Beer Pretzels that was good I didn't real like it the sauce but it was something different. . And I like establishments that are creative with food.. Overall this is a go to spot, it's a hidden Secret read more

I was really disappointed. Disclaimer, we came for a late lunch/brunch on a Sunday. It was just so hit or miss depending on who's food you chose to critique. First, the service was nice, but definitely had that "oh god, why do I have to work on Sunday" feel to it. I don't blame them and have been there myself. Overall, attentive enough and accommodating. The food, having the knowledge that these are Birch and Barley folks, was surprisingly bland on average. Some great ideas with poor execution or bored kitchen at the afternoon change of service? Not sure. My niece's breakfast platter had cold eggs and warmed through bland sausages. Everything was lukewarm, including the share plates of fries, cinnamon rolls and complementary tots (which were really good, still). I got the rare roast beef sandwich which was on the verge of good, but the sparse meat topping was disappointing. The potato chips were phenomenal, though. The clear winner at the table was the fried chicken sandwich which hit it out of the park. Paired with a nicely dressed arugula salad, it was top notch. My nephews lox on pretzel bagel was pretty good, but just that. The location is awesome as is the physical dining room. Spacious and modern but unpretentious. Great atmosphere. The beers were very good though I like mine slightly colder (knowing that a Trippel isn't supposed to be frozen, but still...). I'd like to come back for the dinner menu and when it is busier and possibly a sharper kitchen. read more

What a delicious meal! I enjoyed the wedge salad and a side of cauliflower. I have never had such amazing cauliflower--I can't get it out of my head. Delicious meal, one of the best I had during my time in DC. read more

amazing space, great location near the National stadium and perfect for after game drinks....if only they weren't jerks. Perhaps it was the inundation of fans...who knows. I realize they are new but they should cool it with the attitude. Patrons waiting to be seated or make a wait list at 5pm were told that they could "go get themselves a drink at the bar and wait" in a go f yourself and get a drink because we don't want to seat you manner. And the patrons who had 4:45 reservations were told they wouldn't be seated until 5 because that when they open for dining. A few too many kinks...and I didn't have the patience. There's a Nando's next door that doesn't have issues. Not impressed. At least the bouncers checking ID's were nice. read more

Awesome place to stop before the Nationals game for beer and snacks. Didn't get to sample the food but did try a few different of their brews. Love that they have a sample size for their beers so that you can try multiple flavors! read more

AMBIANCE Unsurprisingly, not packed on a weekday during the afternoon. On par with general trendy hipster/modern interior. FOOD was okay. Got a grilled cheese and soda for lunch. The sandwich was hearty and piled with cheese. There are cheese boutiques around that cut their "artisanal" grilled cheeses with cheaper cheeses. The flavor of the cheese didn't have any notable depth I was expecting or hoping for but at least I could tell it wasn't cheap/process cheese. They drop the ball with sides-- Halfway through the sandwich I realized the last side I'd wanted would be greasy, carb-y potato chips. I'd already ordered so picked at them, but I checked the menu-- I didn't even see an option to sub a side salad (which is what a heavier sandwich needs) or even a cup of tomato soup (goes with grilled cheese like PB&J...!). This is the only thing I've tried from their menu. SERVICE was a major ouch. I was initially greeted fairly quickly, downhill from there. He reappeared shortly later and, I guess because I still hadn't decided on food yet and was alone, he surmised I wasn't worth much focus. Managed to stop him to place an order later, and before I'd really gotten into the food, he checked on me once then homeboy went GHOST. Not disappeared, but he might as well have. He would not look at me or acknowledge me. Out of judging me or deciding bigger parties were the only ones worth the service, he acted like I did not exist. I wanted to take some food home and he never even stopped to ask that, even after I'd pushed my plate away in different directions, played with placement of napkin and fork, desperately waiting for this man to notice the exceedingly obvious signs I was done. He walked right past me, served the people right next to me, wouldn't look at me. Halfway through my meal the busboy starts showing up to refill my water. Eventually I appeal to the busboy for a to-go box. This busboy asks me which size-- I don't know how big their boxes are. Whatever fits it, I tell him. He says, "So a small one?" As long as it fits, I respond. He re-emerges with what seems to be an obviously too-small box and walks off. I give it a shot. Nope, top flap ripped when trying to close it. When the busboy comes back and I tell him it's too small and would like another.... He uses his hands and tries to literally smash and squish my food so it fits into the back. Are you serious? I don't want broken potato chips or a smashed sandwich. Initially shocked, I recover and ask him to stop. He looks confused and irritated and, apparently since he doesn't get that this isn't cool, I tell him I'm walking so need it to close. "Oh, you're walking, okay then," then actually goes to get me a bigger one. Is this real life??? After an hour of being there, the waiter has finally processed my check and moves on, clearly not caring less about me. I leave a bigger tip than I should have and leave with my smashed food, and I don't think I'll be back. read more

I am so grateful to have a decent beer bar that's in walking distance of the south side of Capitol Hill! We eat here all the time. The food at the Arsenal is consistently good, but only very occasionally exceptional. I'm giving the place a 5 star rating all the same, because it's much better than most of the joints on or near Capitol Hill, and it's not very expensive. The menu is composed of a lot of small plates that are very tasty, as well as a handful of "mains," so it's a good choice if you like to eat tapas style. The lamb and beef burger is also especially tasty. The beer, surprisingly enough, is pretty mediocre. It's a lot better than Budweiser, of course, but by craft standards, only a few of their offerings really stand out: Forbidden Planet and Mexican Radio (which are always available) and the Macaroon (which is likely to rotate out). The wait staff is friendly and I love the lighting. It's faux-antique industrial: very cool. read more

Great beers of course! Their pickle pot - now it's a pickle board - is good. Gets pretty busy before baseball games. But normally frees up once game starts. read more

LOVED Arsenal! I came here about a month ago with a couple of friends and I am SO glad they introduced me to this place. First of all, the interior is so cool. It's this enormous old warehouse that's been completely renovated with huge beer tanks on the upper levels that can be seen from the seating area. Very industrial chic. But, the restaurant area is incredibly intimate with great lighting. Love love love the aesthetic. Our waiter was also phenomenal. Unfortunately I've forgotten his name at this point, but he was super patient and understanding as we waited for our perpetually late friends to show up. He was very willing to explain their (slightly overwhelming) beer list and offered suggestions which we took up. I do wish their menu was a bit more extensive. I get that food isn't their main angle, but the stuff that we had was so good, I just want to try more of it. For starters, we had the hot charcuterie plate, which was delicious. Then I had this delicious pasta dish with beef cheek ragu, I think? They've changed the menu since then, so I'm having a hard time remembering. We had the brussels sprouts and potatoes on the side, which were also fantastic. For beers, I think I had the Mothra and the Swallowtail? I know I also tried one of their cask ales that isn't on the current menu right now which was also fantastic. The general consensus from the table was that all of the food and beer was fantastic and there wasn't a single aspect we would've changed. read more

Hang out at the bar for great beers, food, and conversations with the amazing bartenders. There are a good variety of beers to choose from and the food menu is sophisticated.

Highlight: The shishito app - cooked to perfection and that peanut-chickpea combo paired very well. read more

I think the Arsenal is great. Great beer, food, and decor. What's not to love? Yes, the menu is a bit pricey, and, yes, the place gets swamped when the Nats are in town, but there's nothing else like it in the Capitol Riverfront/Navy Yard area. Roughly 20 unique beers on tap and cask at any given time, and the options rotate on a weekly basis. Not everyone is a hit, but the tasters are very cheap, so it's easy to sift through the options to find something that's right for you. I've been here a number of times and have always found the staff to be courteous and well-trained, and the food to be consistently well made. read more

The Arsenal At Bluejacket - Scallops were awesome! - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Always too busy, the food is semi-gourmet-bar-food (triple hyphenate points) and the staff always seems over worked but cheerful... but let's be real. None of these are the reasons you are here. Either, you are headed to a ball game and wanted to grab some beers before you head out or you are just here for the amazing beer. Either way, congratulations, you win. The beer here has not been universally excellent during the time they have been open but there have always been some amazing brews to quaff. That being said, in the last year they have really matured and seem to be pouring hit after hit. Love this place, going to miss so much now that I am leaving DC. Someone take my seat at the bar. read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday night for dinner. We made reservations via their website that afternoon and had no problems getting a table, but the restaurant quickly filled up while we were there and we saw multiple walk-in parties get turned away or quoted a 1-2 hour wait--so make a reservation before you go! The atmosphere on Saturday night was relaxed and casual. The bar area was crowded with people watching basketball, while the restaurant area was a little calmer, with couples, families, and small groups of friends just hanging out. The interior has a cool industrial-steampunk vibe, lots of glass and iron and a warehouse-y feel, but it does get pretty loud inside and it can be hard to hear people sitting across from you. Maybe not the best place for a super intimate date. Our meal was great--our server was incredibly friendly and made great recommendations on what beers we should try based on our preferences. I had the small pours of the Mexican Radio (cask) which was really good--sweet, creamy, low-carbonation; very easy to drink--and the Lotus-Eaters, which was an interesting lemon/persimmon gose--it had a really sweet, citrus-y perfume-y taste with a wheat-y aftertaste that was really interesting. My boyfriend had small pours of Lost Weekend (hoppy, grapefruit-y IPA), Blue Monday (coffee stout, 12% abv, yummy!), and Killing Moon (double IPA, hoppy). For food, we had the smothered french fries to start with, which were SO GOOD. They use a cheese that's cheddar, but with something else that just gives it a really good sharp zing. The ham on top was pretty generous as well. He had the wurst sandwich and I had the burger--both were excellent! We were both pretty hungry to start with, but between the beer, fries, and the burger/sandwich, we were stuffed. He barely managed to finish his sandwich and I left half my burger (delicious as it was!). With five small pours, fries, and two entrees, our total came to ~$70. read more

Hunger. It's grips at you like a frozen hand on a metal pole in the winter. Thirst. It seizes one like the travels of the Sahara in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Where to go? Now, THAT'S the question! And D.C. is full of up and coming places...jump in the car...blah, blah, blah H Streeeeeeet...blah, blah, blah...NO, I'm not standing in a 3 hr wait line in 20 degree temps! Wait a minute...didn't The Yards just add some pretty nice spots? Let's head down there! And head there we did....right into Bluejacket! The ambiance? Rocks. The food? Awesomeness ensued! The price? Just right! And all of this on a night when hunger and thirst was the theme. I had the Bluejacket Double w/fries...enough to make you wanna swim in mayo but smack gramma at the burst of flavor! O, did I mention the good fries too? Yeah...those. My wife had the Simple Salad w/roasted chicken. Awesomeness! But, the biggest surprise I had was the in-house brewery they have. For ANYONE that is a beer "affecion"ado, thine must show up in need of spirits of the bubbly kind...seek and thou shalt find...in Bluejacket and brew by the name of ..."Lux"...as in "luxurious' hops and taste? Yowsa! I'm going back to get me some bottles of this for my stash. The crowd was cool, everyone was there for a great time, and it showed. One the way back, I started thinking: "Wow, I really found a winner with this place!" Thanks to my Mini Cooper for sniffing this place out because I didn't know WHERE I was going this night! And it paid off! Recommend this place to anyone looking read more

Blargh. Pretty decent place once you sit down, but otherwise, it's hard to feel comfortable in this place. It's like being at a nightclub for some reason. Must be that warehouse neighborhood effect. Food is mediocre-to-okay and quite expensive (most of us got some variation of burger as that was the cheapest thing on the menu.) Some of the beer is nice, but most of it is just way too heavy and not sessionable (i.e. pick the wrong one and the rest of your drinks for the night feel off / excessive.) If money's no limit, you would have a great time here. But our group consisted mostly of people with student loans. :( read more
