26 Best Bar & Grill in Washington

“Came late night on a Wednesday just for drinks and this place did not disappoint! Drink menu by itself was creative well priced and expertly crafted. Tom was our Bartender who indulged all my cocktail questions and mods. Felt like I made a friend! Highly recommend.“

“I recommend GCDC… for the Mac & Cheese! It’s creamy and delicious. The toastiness of the sourdough options are spot on - not too toasty. Food comes out quick and hot!“

“We were absolutely thrilled to work with Jess at Moreland’s Tavern for our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks. Jess was fantastic from start to finish, helping us create the perfect event and menu while staying within our budget. The upstairs of the restaurant was set up beautifully for our party, complete with a photo slideshow of us playing on the TVs, which added a nice personal touch. The dinner was delicious, and our rehearsal dinner guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the roasted chicken was! After the sit-down dinner, Jess and her team seamlessly transitioned the space into a more casual area where the rest of our guests could mix and mingle, complete with an open bar and light snacks. The bartenders, Jess and Max, were absolute pros—our guests certainly kept them busy and they did an amazing job keeping us and everyone happy throughout the night. Jess and the team at Moreland’s Tavern made our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks unforgettable. As our neighbors up the street, we are so glad Moreland’s was a part of our wedding weekend as a favorite neighborhood spot we can revisit again and again. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great event venue with top-notch service!“

“In a dive bar where secrets are spun,
Where romances fade or begun,
Children conceived,
Mystique is achieved,
A haven for drinks and some fun.

A spot where the locals unite,
For a cheap drink that’s always just right.
A great place to be,
With fine company,
A community hub every night.“

“I love Grand Central! The vibes and energy are GREAT, the food is delicious, the music doesn’t miss and the service is fantastic!!! If you want to have a good time in AdMo you should definitely come to Grand Central— I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Fun karaoke time and good prices on food and drinks“

“Spent 5 nights in D.C. and found this as it was next door to my hotel. What a find. Friendliest bar staff in D.C., great atmosphere and good beer. Would really recommend if in the McPherson Square area.“

“Nice draft bar And good food“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“We went there 3 evenings in a row. Bar at the top, waiter on Wednesday at the top, waitress on Thursday at the top. On the other hand, the waitress on Friday evening, a STÉPHANIE H, no smile and not pleasant. Too bad for the bar. We will not return for 4 evenings.“

“Chill neighborhood bar. Great beers and an actually tasty pina colada…“

“Great pub for watching NFL, NCAA, Soccer any sport! Great staff bar tenders, for bar food not bad. The beer is cold! Watched several games here, always a good time, outside seating, and also has a TV.“

“Live nearby and happy to see what replaced our previous favorite Ethiopian (Nanas) was even better. Fantastic setup for a hookah bar, intimate lighting with full bar seating or couches. Extremely friendly and attentive service at a very competitive price. The vegetarian platter was enough to feed 3 of us and was one of best Ethiopian dishes we’ve had in DC, having tried many. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The owner make u feel like family member.“

“friendly staff, great location and good parking“

“The ladies here are ALWAYS on their game. Best fried chicken in DC; Tina is a phenom! Tomeka and Ratika are amazing drink slingers and the views just CAN'T be beat. The new enclosure will be a huge boon when the sun trades out for wetter weather.

Parking: Lots of spots!

Kid-friendliness: They have a good kids menu“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“Come see me every Wednesday and Thursday behind the bar !!! Happy hour is from 6-9pm !! #Askfor 202Angie !“

“If You want to have a good time with friends go to Haydees have some Margaritas or piña colada,tequila or favorite beer 🍺 and sing your music with their Karaoke 🎤“

“love stoneys please put fried pickles on the menu tho“

“Good local bar to eat and drink“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“This is a Bay Area sports bar in DC! The hubby & I visited while we were on vacation to watch the 49er season opener against the Jets & had a blast! The staff was wonderful, the owner Gracie ( we didn't know she was the owner until the end of the night) was rocking it, and the crowd was AWESOME! Being season ticket holders, the energy felt like we were at a game. Anytime we're in DC, we'll be back.... on a side note, we found out our niece had a blast here watching the 2014 Giants World Series.

If youre a sports lover, especially Bay Area sports, this is THE PLACE to be!“

“Canopy Central Café & Bar offers an exceptional brunch experience with their standout dish, the chicken and waffles. Without a doubt, it's the highlight of their menu. We also tried the tacos, but they couldn't hold a candle to the deliciousness of the chicken and waffles. The restaurant boasts spectacular views of the Warf, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to experience. The atmosphere is lovely and casual, perfect for a leisurely brunch. However, I felt that it could benefit from some background music to enhance the ambiance. What truly sets Canopy Central apart is their outstanding service. The server and hostess went above and beyond to accommodate our group, which unexpectedly grew from 5 to 8 people during brunch. The server was especially kind and even took special care of my little kid, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, we had an amazing time at Canopy Central Café & Bar, and we'll definitely be returning for the stellar service we received. If you're looking for a great meal with a fantastic view and top-notch service, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“The ping pong tables as well as all the other games!“
