    Cardiff Bluebird. It wasn't bad but not my fav (my husband really enjoyed it!)
    Katie V.

    While the downstairs was a bittoo loud for us, we were pleased to find the upstairs noise level much more acceptable. I had the burger with pork belly and chips. The chips (fries) were fantastic in flavor & texture. I really also enjoyed my burger (one meat patty was much more than enough for me too). My cocktail was ok - but I think it was a "live and learn" experience for me, nothing at fault from the restaurant or bartender.

    Pork Belly Poutine
    Arthur C.

    I ordered the pierogis and poutine on uber eats and there was a bit of a wait but the food was solid. It was my first time eating pierogis but it was flavorful. The poutine was good, maybe a little salty, but it did the job. I wish it was a bit cheaper (a little over $30 for the two items as appetizers) but overall a solid food option from a bar.

    Originally went here to satiate my english man fetish in what I believe is the only genuine attempt of an english pub in the entire dc downtown. The place gave the perfect piratey speakeasy feel, (the entire atmosphere and greenish hue is best encapsulated by this movie poster for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, or The Northman if you're looking at staff) but the returns started becoming less about pretending to be at hogwarts and more about the incomparable Andrew. The cook/owner (unclear) is equally not bad on the eyes, which was a great change of pace for NE/H St. I can't say I would ever go there for the food; I go there for the dream. English dishes/cuisine to be fair is apparently SUPPOSED to be a lot like prison food or stranded on an island, I only ordered a milk-steamed sesame sauce broth of perhaps chicken once and it was only bad because the English concept itself was bizarre. Rest of the menu looked a lot better, but rest assured the ambience, entire staff, and quirky dj/projector screen choices more than make up for. I've gone there 20-30 consecutive times refusing to drink anywhere else and pretty sure they think I got whacked because I moved cities without telling anyone and vanished without a trace. SUPERIOR BAR in DC AREA, GO, GO NOW

    Full English Breakfast

    Queen Vic is always a vibe, great place to catch a game and grab a beer. In spite of some occasional surly service (part of the charm) the true star of the show is their extensive pub fare menu. Comfort food UK style, it's an amazing place to grab a full English or a Sunday roast.

    Fish n churps and sheppie pie

    I loved spending time at the Queen Vic. A fried battered fish Was what I was seeking and they didn't disappoint. The green pea sauce was yummy too. I enjoyed the magners on tap. Come for the battered fish. Throw some lemon and boom. Also, the fish reheats well in the air fryer!

    Sticky Toffee Pudding

    Had the fish and chips and the sticky toffee pudding, and they were both great. I went on a Thursday at about 6:30 PM, sat upstairs, and was the only one there for probably about a half an hour. It was nice. Downstairs was busier, which is cool for them, but I wanted to have a little bit more relaxed environment, so I went upstairs. The bartender was awesome and helped me with the menu. Apparently they don't have the bone marrow anymore because people were too afraid to try it, lol, which is a bummer because I wanted to give it a shot! All in all, a great place for a bite to eat with a cool atmosphere. They had a pretty good assortment of NA beverages as well.

    Best bartender in DC!, Matt!

    If Iived inDC, I'd eat here all the time! The food is excellent, the bartender fun, atmosphere - excellent. Laid back, the perfect combo of energy yet we could still talk and enjoy the evening. Best things one the menu: Brussels sprouts, gnocchi, and goat cheese salad. SO yummy.highly recommend!

    Pork Schnitzel & Mashed Potatoes
    Jill C.

    I absolutely love the Queen Vic. Been coming here for years, back in the days of Trivia Night with Ryan and Joe (RIP) behind the bar. Came back tonight with longtime friends visiting "home" here in DC. Had the pork schnitzel special, which was delicious. Andrew the bartender was so personable and attentive. We really had a great night reminiscing. Thank you, Queen Vic and Andrew for a great night with friends.

    Clean bar
    Shari D.

    The Queen Vic has been on my list for several years! As a fan of British culture, it hit the nail on the head. Flags everywhere, beers on tap, decent portions and great/welcoming service. The bar was nice and clean, which made for a great experience!

    Meat pie ON mashed potatoes. This is NOT to be confused with Pie and mash. Not even close.
    Simon W.

    The closest thing to a "proper" English pub in the DC area, I have been going to this place on and off for years. They have a decent beer selection including Old Speckled Hen, Boddingtons and Bombardier so its worth it for that, assuming you like English beer. Which of course, I do! The food is ok. It has been better a while ago. It used to be better but sometimes a bit of a let down. So consistency is not there. Might want to check the website before you go as when there is a football/soccer match, the place will be very loud and very packed. I had the ground beef pie which was not the worst but certainly not the best. Not the best beef, but the shocker was that the pie came on a bed of mashed potatoes that tasted like it was made from a packet. Why not fries/chips, as in pie and chips?? and no peas. sigh. I am from London where "Pie and Mash" is a working class traditional cheap meal. That is made with actual potatoes and a green "liquor" made from parsely. The pies are freshly made each day and are fantastic. This pie was a million miles from that with dubious meat. That was more of an (hopefully) accidental travesty that annoyed me. I hope things turn around. I'm crossing my fingers...

Ive never been here on a weekend day. Its also great to support a business where the entire staff are deaf.

This time I had a JRA, which is a hoppy lager and very good. Mom had a fancy cola. It would be fun if they did a happy hour too.

I've been self-teaching myself sign language, and having the opportunity to come here and get some real one-on-one interaction and practice has been incredible. It's one thing to study on your own, but being able to engage in person in such a welcoming, supportive environment has been absolutely amazing. That kind of experience is rare -- and so appreciated. The atmosphere is relaxed, inclusive, and genuinely warm. The outdoor space is spacious and perfect for soaking up the sun, and we love that food trucks rotate through -- it makes every visit feel a little different. And Magnolia (our mini dachshund) is clearly a fan too. She was stretched out in the sunshine, completely relaxed, soaking it all in like she owned the place. Watching her sprawl out and enjoy herself just added to the whole experience. Great beer, great people, great vibes. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Since then, this place was renovated and it's nicely decorated in every section and the bathrooms are clean. They've added an ice cream section with lots to choose from. The menu is very impressive with a good selection for vegetarian and gluten free options and everything looks delicious. The group I went with this time was from my church and everyone loved what they ordered. The owner of the restaurant stopped by our table and introduced himself. He was very friendly and so was the waitress and the host. I ordered a Ruben, and Moroccan lamb sliders to go. Both were delicious! Then we went to the ice cream shop, quite a treat. The following day I went back with my grandson and had more time to browse around. I ordered the beet salad with goat cheese and my grandson had the confit duck leg with lentils, carrots with citrus demi glaze. We both really enjoyed our dinner. The shop had some very unique items and some hilarious objects. There's even a section where they sell wine and beer. This is definitely an unusual and fun place to visit. I highly recommend.

After eating, we went downstairs for some ice cream and I got the super chonk flavor (malted vanilla ice cream, fudge, peanut butter, brownie pieces).
