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.
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!!
