This is one of my old and reliable go to spots in this area of the city and although it has been a while since I visited LBG it did not disappoint. The vibe was great, drinks were excellent and the food was quite tasty. I would definitely be back soon!

Every time I come to DC, I try to stop through. Good food, good folks and a nice vibe. And that's whether a game is on or I just want a nice conversation and listen to music

The best thing overall is the atmosphere and the drinks … I arrived directly at opening time to a closed business and when someone did arrive I had to wait several more minutes for them to open, which I extended much grace about but what really irritated me was waiting patiently to only have access to the bar and no food due to the kitchen not opening until 5? Sucks because I wanted the whole experience and not just drinks. Additionally as a first timer , there is no set cocktail menu as advertised online… I looked before I came specifically to avoid the frustrations I experienced here and nothing was as everyone said in previous reviews on here unfortunately , if you come here be prepared to explain what you like to drink or what drink you want specifically!

Food takes 30min+ for anything and might be spoiled depending on the week, there are rats, there used to be roaches, the owner is a cheapskate who doesn't pay employees on time. Slum-lord bar, where 1/2 the appliances don't work, and top management doesn't care about the workers at all. The only redeeming quality is the employees. Oh and it's in a super unsafe neighborhood. Almost forgot to mention it's overpriced as heck. The bar is so bad the staff has to bring in their own friends sometimes so SOMEONE will be in the bar. It really is a checklist for what not to do.

This tiny little bar that could.Years ago, the very enthusiastic family run bar was the place to be. Time and apathy have taken its toll.But the neighborhood won't allow this bar to close.Pored drinks are excellent depending on the one bartender mix drink knowledge fade fast. The kitchen had closed for the day but has a tradition of great food.
