“Philly Cheesesteak Grilled Cheese was absolutely amazing and the Mac N Cheese is GREAT! Highly recommend“

“We were on our way to another place in the area and got stopped by the charismatic owner. He sold us on the live music and menu items. That was all we needed to hear. The drinks were flowing (the bartenders pour to get you tipsy), the food was flavorful and the service was great. We enjoyed everything we ordered and we are tough critics! It was a really cool experience and we will be back for sure.“

“The best bar on H street. The staff is top notch and always ready to pour a frothy draft or a strong cocktail. Annie, behind the bar is a true gem and always friendly.

The menu from Little Miner tacos is also fantastic, try it all!“

“Awesome music venue, great food, relaxed vibe“

“Lecker - nur paar Gehminuten vom Capitol“

“We were absolutely thrilled to work with Jess at Moreland’s Tavern for our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks. Jess was fantastic from start to finish, helping us create the perfect event and menu while staying within our budget. The upstairs of the restaurant was set up beautifully for our party, complete with a photo slideshow of us playing on the TVs, which added a nice personal touch. The dinner was delicious, and our rehearsal dinner guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the roasted chicken was! After the sit-down dinner, Jess and her team seamlessly transitioned the space into a more casual area where the rest of our guests could mix and mingle, complete with an open bar and light snacks. The bartenders, Jess and Max, were absolute pros—our guests certainly kept them busy and they did an amazing job keeping us and everyone happy throughout the night. Jess and the team at Moreland’s Tavern made our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks unforgettable. As our neighbors up the street, we are so glad Moreland’s was a part of our wedding weekend as a favorite neighborhood spot we can revisit again and again. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great event venue with top-notch service!“

“I just really enjoyed the music. I'm an upcoming artist myself.. I can see me performing in there one day soon. But atmosphere was laid back. Real cool.. food smelled good but the kitchen was closed. I'll come early and eat. I really tryna to win that $100 gift card that's why I'm telling my experience..but on the real . I like it and I'll be back. Also be sure to follow me on my Instagram @officialsumnu“

“Stopped by Open Road Restaurant and Bar last Friday night with a group of friends and we had a fantastic time. The atmosphere is super lively and has a really cool, welcoming vibe the second you walk through the door. We started with some appetizers and drinks, and the bartender definitely knew what they were doing—the cocktails were mixed to perfection. For dinner, I ordered the burger and it was cooked just right, juicy and packed with flavor. Our server was attentive and friendly the entire evening, making sure our glasses were never empty even though the place was pretty packed. It can get a little loud inside when it's busy, but honestly, it just adds to the energetic social scene. Overall, it is a great spot for weekend hangouts, and I am definitely looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu.“

“The best bar in the city. Lovely bartenders, friendly staff, excellent customer service. And I absolutely LOVE Gi Gi, go and see her ASAP! I will come here again and recommend anyone who’s considering it to go ahead and give it a try.“

“muy buena atención, exelente comida ahora con los piques machos y variedad de piques del Chillamicito funcionando con la comida boliviana“

“Great pub for watching NFL, NCAA, Soccer any sport! Great staff bar tenders, for bar food not bad. The beer is cold! Watched several games here, always a good time, outside seating, and also has a TV.“

“friendly staff, great location and good parking“

“Great service and food was delicious. Bigger than expected portions.“

“Our server Elias was amazing—super friendly, funny, attentive, and genuinely helpful with his recommendations. He took the time to explain the menu, asked about allergies, and made sure everything we ordered was a good fit for us.💕

We tried the Acai Granola Bowl and the Billy House Hash, both of which Elias recommended, and they were delicious! We also tried the Summer in Georgetown drink on his suggestion, and it was the perfect choice. 🍹

Everything was delicious, but honestly, the service made the experience even better. Elias was personable, knowledgeable, and made us laugh throughout our meal. Definitely ask for him if you visit—you won’t regret it!

10/10 experience. ❤️“

“Wonderland Ballroom is probably my favorite bar / restaurant in DC.

A true neighborhood spot that somehow has multiple personalities. Need a casual weeknight dinner in Columbia Heights? Wonderland.

Looking for great weeknight food or drink specials? Wonderland.

Looking for brunch? The skillets are killer.

Looking for a safe, fun place to dance late at night? Wonderland has that covered.

The staff, and owners, who live in the neighborhood, are consistently kind, welcoming, and professional. That is a big part of why this place works so well.

And if you’ve never had the fried eggplant fries, fix that immediately.

One of the best bars in Washington, DC. One of the best spots in Columbia Heights for dinner, brunch, drinks, or a dance party.

Just one of those places that gets everything right.“

“The ingredients taste so fresh, and the presentation is well done. Wow! Very nice. I love quality, tasty food.First time ordering, would eat again. Pictured: 3 chicken tacos and a 4 piece chicken quesadilla (takeout) such a great combination.“

“Had a great time here! The place was clean, the hookah was great, and the atmosphere was really nice. Sammy was an awesome bartender and made the experience even better. It’s a great spot to watch the Finals, go on a date, celebrate with friends, or just hang out and have a good time. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“Stopped in here to try a rice bowl (with peri peri chicken) for lunch and will definitely be back. It was very good. Appreciated that they freshly cooked my chicken. Only downside is that I wish this area were more pleasant to walk/bike to. (Also, I appreciate that they gave me silverware, but I try to minimize my plastic trash so would prefer that they ask me, but I get that other customers may feel differently.)“

“Su servicio y su comida y la calidad humana“

“I went at noon and it was not crowded at all, and it was quiet, a big bonus for me these days. No loud music and people shouting in order to converse over it. The food was very good, very fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant for Asian fusion cuisine and sushi.“

“Beautiful Hotel and great location“

“A good time… All the time…“

“As an woman who loves Ethiopian music, nostalgia, and the comfort of familiar songs, it can be hard to find a place where you can go by yourself, enjoy live music, and still feel safe, welcomed, and at home. That is exactly where Mulushewa in Silver Spring stands out.

I became familiar with Mulushewa about a year and a half ago. I don’t remember exactly what my first show was, but I remember the feeling clearly: I walked in and felt at home. Over time, it has become more than just a restaurant or live music spot for me. It has become my go-to place, almost like family.

The live band, the singers, and the overall atmosphere bring so much warmth and joy. The music carries that special Ethiopian nostalgia — the kind that reminds you of home, memories, culture, and community. Mulushewa has also become a home for incredible Ethiopian artists, including Abegazu Shiota, Yohannes Tonha, Abdu Kiar and many other talented singers and musicians.

I highly recommend Mulushewa to any Ethiopian woman, or anyone who loves Ethiopian music, who wants to go out, enjoy live music, feel safe, and experience the beauty of our culture in a welcoming space. It is truly a special place in Silver Spring.“

“One of my favorite places to go. The food is very solid and service/atmosphere can't be beat. Prices don't feel like I'm being ripped off either like much of DC has gotten to. Management is super friendly and great to work with. Always look forward to spending time here with my friends!“

“If You want to have a good time with friends go to Haydees have some Margaritas or piña colada,tequila or favorite beer 🍺 and sing your music with their Karaoke 🎤“

“A great place to meet friends for drinks to pre-game or a night out. Depending on the night you maybe able to catch an open bar or drinks specials. Some nights they also have a DJ that plays various genres of music. Bar staff is friendly and place also has a neighborhood feel.“

“Fun karaoke time and good prices on food and drinks“
