If I were to distill my love of this neighborhood, Lyman's encapsulates the spirit of so much of it. Chill but occasionally chaotic good, an actual sense of community facilitated by the friendliness & welcoming energy of its workers & regulars, a no-frills aesthetic & vibe that lends itself to being a true dive bar, & unapologetic in acting as a hub for radical organizing & leftist community events.

No frills dive bar. You'll get the very basics when it comes to a cocktail, but might be best to stick with a can of beer.

I was visiting dc and I love pinball, so I had to check this bar out. I had a great time here. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. So are the drinks. The bartenders were very friendly. The highlight was the pinball. There was a great selection of well maintained machines. If I lived in DC I would come here all the time.

I can't believe I just discovered this neighborhood dive bar. The sliders are amazing! My favorite is the Chili Cheese sliders (not spicy to me, but full of flavor), the bartender was kind and friendly. Brought the kids here to play pinball machines, they loved the food and the games. Definitely come back again!!

The server was weirdly aggressive, but everything else was fine. Good place to just play pinball and hang out

Couldn't ask for a better neighborhood dive bar. The sliders taste like heaven, the bartenders keep the glasses full, and the atmosphere caters to the neighbors like a European pubs do. My go to watering hole.
A cool dive bar with an exhaustive selection of beers in cans, bottles and on draft. I think the ambiance is fun with a bunch of pinball machines to play on as well as arcade games. Prices were reasonable and it had a laid back environment.

Can't remember the last bar I went to without any tvs, very refreshing. Great spot to grab a beer and chat. Place was busy and music wasn't too loud. Lots of jackalope decor and pinball machines. Min $10 credit card limit, so bring cash or open a tab (or buy rounds for your friends)!
