Popped in here with friends to watch football and grab dinner. It's a narrow space under Tiki on 18th with TVs covering almost every wall. We were all pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was, since we were just expecting standard sports bar fare! We shared four items: lumpiang Shanghai, mumbo salmon lettuce rolls, spicy pork sisig, and the jojo pansit. Everything was incredible. I loved how crispy the lumpiang was and the mango chili dipping sauce was great. The sauce on the lettuce rolls was SO good. We wanted to get the beef pares but they were out, so hope to try that again in the future. I'm glad I didn't know it was associated with Tiki on 18th before because I would have missed out on some delicious food. I stopped going to Tiki on 18th because they are predatory with the 20% included gratuity, by only showing you a final total on the card reader and automatically prompting for additional 20% tip. All that to say, I'll make an exception for The Game because the waitress reminded us about the included 20% which I appreciated and the service was excellent.

They have the best sisig in DC! I've never dined in the place. I've only picked up food or got it delivered.

They add service charge and don’t tell you. Beware.

Everytime I come here, I am impressed. The food is authentic and delicious. Anyone at the bar will attest to it. The sound system is perfectly balanced so you can still talk to people while enjoying an event. Upstairs has all the cocktails you need and the deck is beautiful. But the late night kitchen is the cherry on top!Vegetarian options: They have multiple vegetarian options. Great variety, easy options.

Best sports bar in DC. And they have karaoke on Friday!!! Best ever

We were in town visiting and looking for a bar that was showing the UFC PPV. This was the perfect spot, they have TV's everywhere, extremely friendly workers, and tasty food and drinks - we had the lumpia, sisig, and way too many drinks :). As somebody who loves a good dive bar, I'll be sure to come back next time I'm in DC.

Given the area it's located, I was expecting a better ambiance and drink quality. Save your time and money but finding another spot
Maria G.
Came to this spot after a disappointing dinner elsewhere and the atmosphere was great and so was our bartender. Will def be making this a regular spot when we visit
HALO-HALO tastes just like my moms, I loved it. The upstairs is the tiki bar and the downstairs is more chill and laid back. They're popular here for their sigsig but I didn't try (pescat

Happy hour and drinks and dinner and karaoke with my running crew. We accidentally became the majority of the participants for karaoke. I really like that you can get both tiki drinks/food from upstairs and beers/burgers and such from the basement bar. Friendly, chill service, big portions of nachos, fries.
Austin Harrison
Decent food, and they put on the game we wanted to watch. But service was horrible (not a single waiter came to our table in over 30 minutes) and there was a 20% gratiuty included, regardless of group size. Not a great experience.
Alexander Silano
Great food and very friendly staff. I will definitely be returning.

We decided to try The Game for football Sunday given they advertised having many TV's. What is great is that they put the game you want to watch on the TV by your table so no worries on if you will be able to see your chosen game. For drinks, we got the shareable drink called "Blood of the Kapu Tiki, Tiki Objects, Bosky Hrnjak." It was a good balance of juice and alcohol, and can serve 2-3 people. If your party is larger you will need more of the shareables. For food, we got mild wings, plain wings, spam sliders, pork belly nachos, chicken and buttermilk waffles, and shrimp lumpia. I would definitely recommend the spam sliders, and would love if the pork belly could be sold separately (maybe they do but we didn't see that as a menu option). If you are looking for a more laidback vibe I definitely recommend this place. There is a bit of wait for food/drinks to come out, so if you are in a rush then this might not be the place for you.
