28 Best Pubs in Washington

“Great pub, great Guinness, great staff. Owner can be a bit of a prick.“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“Megan gave us the single greatest experience I have ever had at a bar. Her service was more than amazing. It was phenomenal. It was astounding. It was superb. I asked for the moon and she provided the stars. It was beyond comprehension. She is the most impressive, outstanding, incomprehensibly amazing server I have ever had. If she ran for president, I would vote for her in a heartbeat. Since she's a few years away, running the business should be good enough for now. Promote Megan today. She has earned it.“

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“Fantastic bar with great service and food. It was like stepping back in time to how bars used to be, but in the best possible way. The bar staff were fantastic, engaging and didn't let our glasses run dry once. The atmosphere during a Fifa soccer game was amazing! The food was classic bar fare, but nicely made and yummy.“

“Great place for mussels!“

“Great bar with great vibes and even better employees. I truly cannot convey how grateful I am for the amazing employees at this bar! After fainting at the bottom of the stairs Friday night, the employees all immediately sprang into action, making sure that I was ok and asking questions while they called for paramedics. They even knew that I hadn’t been drinking, properly conveying that I was having a true medical issue. The first thing I remember is one of them telling me that I wasn’t alone and everything was going to be ok. Fainting episodes are always very disorienting and even painful for me, but everyone made me feel completely safe and comforted. They ensured no onlookers made me uncomfortable or laughed, really minimizing my immense embarrassment about the whole experience. They were so respectful, and one man in particular truly took care of me the entire time. Honestly, I’m sure they did even more than I was aware of, and I am so grateful for their assistance. This is an absolutely amazing bar that simply put my safety above all else. I have never been treated with such genuine care, thoughtfulness, and kindness during a fainting episode. My only regret is not getting any of their names to properly thank them for their help, so I really hope they see this! Your help meant the world to me, and I cannot wait to tell all of my friends to come to The Commodore!“

“Nadi is amazing. Been going to Queens for 20 years 🙂‍↕️🫶🏽“

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

“Amy recommended this through the DC by foot walking tour Facebook page… and it did not disappoint me! I had the BLTA… Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich… And it was awesome. I may not be able to go to it again this trip… But I’ll plan to add this to one of my favorites.“

“A 501(c)(3) non-profit bar, where you can drink for a good cause! Good Belgian beers. NO TV! Cell phones discouraged. Real live, face-to-face, human-to-human communication instead of screen-to-screen or screaming at television B.S. Live music. Open mics and jams. Good conversations.“

“Once you go, you are family!“

“A little piece of Ireland in the heart of Cleveland Park.“

“Came here at a random time after the zoo with kids and it has been a blast. I'm not sure if elementary school kids are their ideal demographic but they gave them free Shirley temples, off menu kids burgers and fries, and my kiddos are cheering for the soccer shown at the bar.

They have some interesting live music coming up, so I hope to come back (without kids) soon!“

“Food is delicious. Best crust in the DMV. Great salads. Service is reliably wonderful. My husband and I are regulars. My husband says the beer is good. My whine is about the wine, which in all categories is mediocre, expensive for what it is, and almost never changes, no matter how many nice requests we've made to the staff. PLEASE up your wine game!“

“Yummy yummy pie flight!!!“

“This is an underground night club which can get packed since it’s a snug space. We were there with DJ Bizzy who killed it with house, R&B, today’s hits and even Latin beat. We elevated our experience by getting a table for 7 and it was WELL worth it to have the space to spread out, make drinks and dance with your group without being crushed in the crowd. Thank you to Robert for hooking us up with a seamless reservation, the staff for continuously filling our mixers and ice and our personal favorite THANK YOU AUGUSTINE for keeping the women’s bathroom safe and kicking the wandering “lost” men out the minute they entered! You are a real one for that! Over all it was a great experience for an Intimate club experience and it is what you make of it. Great club for beginners or medium groups with excellent music and service/security.“
