Problem Child

The only thing good about this night was Thomas at the door....I've already given my review of how I came across the street from my house just to check out the karaoke, and there's a lot of biases and I asked the bartender to watch my stuff and white lady's over there spilling on her drink on my fur coat and the black guy with her wants to take the charge. And then the karaoke guy I tipped him $10 he said you could sing anytime. When I go back to sing he says no more singing tonight okay. Then I turn around and everybody else is singing.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE AND NOW I GOT TO LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND REMIND MYSELF OF THE WORST BIRTHDAY. I MEAN I LOVE ALL PEOPLE BUT ALL PEOPLE DON'T LOVE BLACK SKIN AND I WALKED IN THAT DOOR. SO GO AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU ARE INDIGENOUS A FREE BLACK AMERICAN.

Solid spot for cheap beer and actually good bar food. Bingo on Thursdays is fun.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting this to be awesome but it surely was. Hubby liked the draft beers. I liked the espresso martinis. We shared the nachos with chicken. Casual, fun, simple. My new Navy Yard go to spot.

Ok, so I WANT to love this bar. Good drinks, reasonable prices and dog friendly! The thing is, I really want it to have more of a neighborhood bar feel. Especially after I learned it was a recently affiliated Bills bar! (GO Bills)! But the Bills flag is tucked away in a corner near the kitchen so not many people know this. Recommendation to management: 1.) put a Bills flag out front to bring more fans in. 2.) deck the bar out in more Bills swag 3.) Add a few more drafts to the menu.

Will be back on a Sunday for a Bills game!

Made a reservation through Resy to watch the F1 race with friends only to learn that they weren’t accepting reservations when we arrived. This was surprising since I received a text prompting me to confirm the reservation too. Seems like new management pivoted this spot from a unique location to watch any big event with good food and drinks to just another bar

Once Duke's Groceries, Problem Child is a great rebrand for Navy Yard. A stone's throw from Nats Park and the Metro, Problem Child is a large space with a full bar of cocktails, beer on tap, hard cider, wine, and bar food. The owner is passionate about what he's built in D.C. for many years and knows his regulars well. One standout is that Problem Child often hosts neighborhood events like trivia and even Survivor watch parties on occasion. A highlight for me is their jello shot. So good!

Stopped by Problem Child before the Chris Brown concert recently and the food was so good. It came out quickly despite having many people in there and it was BINGO night too. Everyone was friendly and the vibe was great. Will definitely return if I'm in the area.

Went here before the Nats game and everything was great, crowded, but still had great service. After the game different story, they were not that busy, easily got a seat at the bar, but Bill the bartender was very rude and discourteous, there are way too many options in the neighborhood to be treated poorly when trying spend money.

As I appreciate you telling me nobody named Bill works there, I sent in a friend tonight who was told by the same short man this time that his name is Milt (probably another lie as well), either way, your unprofessional, lying employee has guaranteed I will never spend another dime in your establishment. Maybe it's busy on game days, but there are only 81 home games a year, maybe 20 of those are on a weekend if you're lucky, where you can really make some $$. I really wanted to like your place, but I'll spend my dollars elsewhere, and unlike the Nats, I'm in the neighborhood everyday.

Shoutout to the bartender ( can’t remember his name but he had a dope mustache 🤣) for making a non alcoholic shot for me to take with my friends taking shots. He said everyone should be included in a toast! That was above and beyond great service and I will definitely be back!

Best bar in Navy Yard by far. Incredible food, fantastic staff, and an unreal atmosphere, especially on their Friday night karaoke nights

After a long week of work I love coming to unwind at PC. Robin, Justin, Milk, and the rest of the crew always take great care of me and the other patrons. The drinks are good and at an amazing price point for Navy Yard. Don’t sleep on the food either.

We came here from a local recommendation. Great dive bar. Milk, the bartender was witty. We nerded out on books. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and sweet potato fries. It hit the spot. Great place to watch a game or grab drinks before the game. Highly recommend if your in the area.

This place stinks. Mgmt needs to get their act together. Went on a game day and there were only 2 bartenders handling everything. Took 5 minutes to get a menu, 15+ to order, and then food was subpar. Folks working there were trying but the way they have it setup is a recipe for disappointment.
