26 Best Bar & Grill in Washington

“Fantastic experience at the Tune Inn. Had the opportunity of meeting the owner who was so kind. The staff is incredible, food is just as good! Didn’t wait too long for food or drinks. Mozzarella sticks are the best I’ve ever had. 10/10 experience!“

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

“This is a Friendly establishment..the owners are welcoming“

“The best bar on H street. The staff is top notch and always ready to pour a frothy draft or a strong cocktail. Annie, behind the bar is a true gem and always friendly.

The menu from Little Miner tacos is also fantastic, try it all!“

“Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese was absolutely amazing and the Mac N Cheese is GREAT! Highly recommend“

“We were on our way to another place in the area and got stopped by the charismatic owner. He sold us on the live music and menu items. That was all we needed to hear. The drinks were flowing (the bartenders pour to get you tipsy), the food was flavorful and the service was great. We enjoyed everything we ordered and we are tough critics! It was a really cool experience and we will be back for sure.“

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

“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 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!“

“The best bar in the city. Lovely bartenders, friendly staff, excellent customer service. And I absolutely LOVE Gi Gi, go and see her ASAP! I will come here again and recommend anyone who’s considering it to go ahead and give it a try.“

“I just really enjoyed the music. I'm an upcoming artist myself.. I can see me performing in there one day soon. But atmosphere was laid back. Real cool.. food smelled good but the kitchen was closed. I'll come early and eat. I really tryna to win that $100 gift card that's why I'm telling my experience..but on the real . I like it and I'll be back. Also be sure to follow me on my Instagram @officialsumnu“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“friendly staff, great location and good parking“

“Our server Elias was amazing—super friendly, funny, attentive, and genuinely helpful with his recommendations. He took the time to explain the menu, asked about allergies, and made sure everything we ordered was a good fit for us.💕

We tried the Acai Granola Bowl and the Billy House Hash, both of which Elias recommended, and they were delicious! We also tried the Summer in Georgetown drink on his suggestion, and it was the perfect choice. 🍹

Everything was delicious, but honestly, the service made the experience even better. Elias was personable, knowledgeable, and made us laugh throughout our meal. Definitely ask for him if you visit—you won’t regret it!

10/10 experience. ❤️“

“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.“

“Beautiful Hotel and great location“

“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.“

“Had a great time here! The place was clean, the hookah was great, and the atmosphere was really nice. Sammy was an awesome bartender and made the experience even better. It’s a great spot to watch the Finals, go on a date, celebrate with friends, or just hang out and have a good time. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Wonderland Ballroom is probably my favorite bar / restaurant in DC.

A true neighborhood spot that somehow has multiple personalities. Need a casual weeknight dinner in Columbia Heights? Wonderland.

Looking for great weeknight food or drink specials? Wonderland.

Looking for brunch? The skillets are killer.

Looking for a safe, fun place to dance late at night? Wonderland has that covered.

The staff, and owners, who live in the neighborhood, are consistently kind, welcoming, and professional. That is a big part of why this place works so well.

And if you’ve never had the fried eggplant fries, fix that immediately.

One of the best bars in Washington, DC. One of the best spots in Columbia Heights for dinner, brunch, drinks, or a dance party.

Just one of those places that gets everything right.“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this spot for a quick bite recently. The vibe is super laid back, making it a great place to just relax and have a drink without a lot of fuss. The food was surprisingly tasty for such a casual setting, and I was genuinely happy with the quality of the meal. It is a perfect little hideaway if you are looking for a simple, friendly place to catch up with a friend, and I would definitely stop by again if I am in the neighborhood.“

“A great place to meet friends for drinks to pre-game or a night out. Depending on the night you maybe able to catch an open bar or drinks specials. Some nights they also have a DJ that plays various genres of music. Bar staff is friendly and place also has a neighborhood feel.“

“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 🎤“

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

“Loved everything ! Ambience , waitress made accommodations for best view ; great views of wharf, all staff were pleasant and attentive , salmon dish with beans was creative and delicious ; drinks weren't watered down : I was there with 2 sorority sisters with years to catch up on. We talked til closing and we never felt hurried !“

“Had a great time here! Was able to get a table quickly, atmosphere was pleasant and peaceful, and the food itself was actually quite good! A bit on the pricey side, but hey, when in DC, amiright? Overall though, had a great time and a lovely meal! Would come again.“
