43 Best Sports Bars in Washington

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“Great place for cocktails“

“For Rochester natives and upstate New York food enthusiasts who crave wings, beef on weck, garbage plates, and Zweigel's hots, and more. Sports & Social is nothing short of a holy grail. The news of Sports & Social opening in D.C. had us thrilled—and it delivers the authentic upstate New York food experience we hoped for. We had the wings which are nothing short of amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the medium heat sauce is fantastic. The beef on weck has the perfect weck roll, fresh and made daily in DC. The meat is from another of our D.C. favorites, 2Fifty Barbeque. One of the best weck sandwiches I've had. The vibe is welcoming, the service is fantastic, and the food is a game-changer. We will be returning this week.“

“Money well spent, waiters and staff were courteous. Food was delicious!“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“I loved the space and went with friends all the time so I’m leaving a 5 star review. Everyone is really great and accommodating. However, for my birthday my fiancé booked me a swing evaluation. I’m not that good at golf but usually swing around 105. I wanted to switch from my strong grip to weak grip but it just wasn’t clicking when I worked by myself. I worked with Gaza, a golf pro there. The first 15 minutes were great because he was telling me how to do everything with a weaker style grip. I honestly learned so much and am excited to take my knowledge to the range to fix my swing. However, during the lesson he became more and more upset that what he was telling me wasn’t clicking, and that I couldn’t hit the ball well. By the end of it, he was verbally frustrated and wouldn’t look me in the eye or acknowledge me in any way really. I’m surprised that me not picking it up immediately affected him so much but maybe I caught him on a bad day. Not sure I want to go back now after that experience he made me feel really bad about myself.“

“From the time we entered the establishment we were greeted by one of the Regional Managers which is rare at some establishments. He went out of his way to seat us and would naturally just come over and check in with myself and my sisters. We were there celebrating my 40th birthday. I will definitely eat here again whenever I travel to DC again.“

“Great open mic, great beer and awesome Frenchie burger!“

“Great place to grab a drink and meet new people and don’t forget the amazing brunch every Saturday and Sunday 11:00 and 1:00pm.“

“Had an excellent experience hosting a large birthday party at Grand Central on a busy Saturday night! The staff was communicative, accommodating and the bartenders even developed drink specials for our event. Thank you Jonathan and team for an unforgettable evening!“

“Mood Swings Food Hall is my new go-to spot in DC! Spearheaded by the city's youngest restauranteur, Taj Sohal, it's where the menu changes monthly, keeping our taste buds on their toes. Think global cuisine meets local vibe—perfect for us who love to mix up our dining scenes. Whether you're in for a work sesh with coffee or out for exotic flavors, this place has you covered. Plus, voting on next month's menu? Love being part of the buzz. It's the ultimate spot for us foodies in the city. Don't miss out!“

“Your go to for good wings and a cold one!

Amazing food and ambience, Moe took good care of us. This is by far the best wings I have had in while. Get the mango habanero and sweet & chili flavors

“Great location, good prices, laid back atmosphere. Full bar on on their 3rd night being open!“

“Good local bar to eat and drink“

“We visited Over Under Sportsbook in DC for the first time, and Reidun absolutely made our experience! Not only was she an awesome server and bartender, but she also gave us amazing recommendations for sightseeing and things to do around the city since it was our first time here. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Reidun truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in DC.“

“Great bar and really a must try for the area. Staff were amazing, drinks were great, and the music was awesome. Had so much fun dancing all night, and the bar itself has so many floors that you never get bored.

A standout has to be the videogame room. Was completely surprised when we stumbled across this, and it made our night.

Very cool bar, will absolutely go back.“

“This is where it’s at pregame DC defenders“

“Great bar , super perk for this Hampton Inn/Navy Yard!“

“I was rooming round in DC and saw this restaurant so we decided to go dine in, the very welcoming server made eye contact and showed us our table gave menu, come back to take our order also suggested that I should try sautéed Lamb onions, tomatoes and potato wedges with Engera or freshly backed bread I took the suggestion order Lamb. While waiting for my food I turned to see dine areas the atmosphere was great, the Lamb was cooked Beautifully and the portion was large so I asked to go parcel, definitely I would suggest this restaurant and when I go back DC I would love to visit the restaurant again.“

“We had a great dinner here! It wasn't too crowded, so the atmosphere was really chill and relaxed. The restaurant itself is comfortable and cool. Since the food is 100% fresh, it takes a little extra time to prepare, but it's totally worth it. Our server, Alex, was fantastic—so kind and gave us the best recommendations. He even helped us with our bags! You have to try the pork chop and the rigatoni. We'll definitely be back.“

“We love Astro Beer Hall! It’s a great spot for watching our local DC sports teams and far flung games like the NFL in Europe. There’s a wide variety of food on the menu - something for everyone! There’s an extensive draft beer selection and a speciality cocktail menu if you’re looking for something adventurous. The staff keeps us coming back.“

“I’m not a fan of Boston sports, but I am a fan of this bar. It’s like a little hidden secret.

I originally put a 1 for atmosphere based on the Boston thing, but then I partied here and it was amazing!

I changed my 4 star review to 5! Yall rule! Ella is the best bartender.“

“Johnny’s is the neighborhood gem you didn’t know you needed. It’s got dive bar charm with just enough flair to keep things interesting—think cold beers and a killer liquor list. The staff is friendly, the vibes are top-tier, and the bar food hits the spot. Whether you’re posting up for the game or popping in for a late-night drink, Johnny’s nails it. Fun, easy, and exactly the kind of spot you want in your regular rotation.“

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Fue la primera vez al visitar el restaurante pero la experiencia fue excelente lo podemos recomendar grandemente la atención fue excelente al igual que la comida y bebidas.“

“Big Mike’s Karaoke and what wings!!!!“

“We had a nice time ! Love the food ! Excellent service !😀👌👏👏😃🥰“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“Loved this place! Food was great….awesome service. Try the shrimp wrap or pull pork sandwich and a nice cold beer. Can’t go wrong…..we are from Louisiana and tough critics.“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“Have you met Ruth? I might be biased because she’s like a favorite person to many, professional & makes everyone feel welcome. Anyway, go find out for yourself & you can revert here & let me know if I know what I’m talking about.“

“Illusions is a must dine restaurant!!! I ordered shrimp and grits and catfish and grits!!!!!! After traveling to Pennsylvania and warming up my food……it was outstanding!! Being able to travel with seafood and grits for nearly 3hrs. This along with the flavor, portion size is just outstanding! My mom and I didn't want to finish it all so we saved half for the next day! And it was still sooooo good! The ONLY issue we only had a little bit left! So not only am I’m going back I’m going back asap!!! 5***** food!!!! So sorry I forgot to take pictures

Parking: Loads of accessible free parking!!! ladies you don’t have to walk far in ya heels! Well lit outdoor parking space.“

“My husband and I went here for food and a few drinks! It was a great experience with a wonderful atmosphere, fabulous food, fantastic staff and a wide variety of drink options! We loved it!“

“The ping pong tables as well as all the other games!“

“Had a great experience. The staff was helpful as my partner, Rufus, and I have never bet in person before and needed help. We got our bets placed with the staff's help and then walked right into the Nats game and our lizzles kept winning all night.
Will definitely go back before or after our next Nats game.“
