The place is dirty and the food is horrible.

Highly recommended if you want to surround yourself with friends and actually talk to them over some excellent (and unique!) beers.

This is a genuine artifact of old Washington— here is this small cozy bar that has connections to the rest of the world thanks to the owners’ charitable venture to build schools around the world. When the live music is going (especially when Stefan is playing the piano with Kevin on the drums) and you are meeting folks from all walks of life, you say this is, this where I want to be every night.

Great beer selection, and I really like the no TV vibe to encourage actual discussions. Also really appreciate that they've given so much support to so many schools over the years.

Only stopped for a beer, but wow! What a fantastic place. Next time I'm definitely saving room for food from the kitchen.

Great, quiet, neighborhood spot for eclectic moonshine and beer selections and bar food. Operates as a nonprofit and assists with building schools across the world. Been a couple times and just enjoy the atmosphere of the place.

Unique concept and great cause knowing that ownership is committed to building schools and improving others lives. Very fun spot and great live music. Couldn't recommend

I always wanted to stop in ,and I did because I needed something quick to grab before work. I wanted soup because that's pretty fast but they didn't have to go containers for soup. So ordered a Reuben sandwich that comes with fries. Grabbed and left, but once I opened the to go container, which was the standard sized, 3 portioned containers, sandwich was in the largest spot, and they put like 8 fries in one small section, and put a small piece of lettuce, and a sliced flat piece of pickle (like u put in a burger) in that section. For $16, it was laughable! Uhhh, I won't be back.

AVOID AVOID AVOID The bartender with long hair yelled at my friend, who called him and asked for a drink. He then gave us a table and acted like he never yelled and was rude and came every 15 min to ask if we wanted something else. This is the rudest behavior I've seen in DC. Definitely not coming back. I am not going to be harassed and pay for it. The other bartender were rude too, telling us we can't stand we need to sit.

One of the only non-profit bars that I'm aware of. Piano night is a great time. What a vibrant welcoming community this place is!

This is a strange place but I like it. Nice people and the selection of drinks is odd but tasty. If you like it, you like it. Give it a try.
