42 Best Bar & Grill near College Park

“Great location, super nice staff and a super fun time!“

“During our visit to Washington, our family had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the atmosphere — the interior breathes history, with the establishment dating back to 1946. We spent quite some time admiring the vintage photographs and décor, which allowed us to truly feel the soul of the place.

An elderly gentleman who served us was incredibly kind and welcoming, patiently helping us choose from the menu. We ordered delicious pasta and mozzarella sticks — everything was full of flavor and very reasonably priced.

This restaurant is a true gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. A warm, authentic, and memorable experience.“

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

“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!“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“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“

“It's Kenyan style food so the curry among other dishes will not be what you are used to. However, I did enjoy the added spices that the African style brings. I recommend everyone giving this restaurant a try. They have pool tables too. Tell Lindsey I sent you. Bon Appetit“

“My friend and I were in town for this past weekend and ended up here multiple nights. They definitely treat you like family here. We met Marte, danced with Jamal and just had a great experience from the wings and fries was delicious, the orange mint vanilla hookah was amazing, drinks were great and fairly priced. We stayed at an air b&b up the road and we could walk to this spot. We were supposed to go back yesterday but we were too tired as we kicked it multiple days til the wee hours. The music varies depending upon their different nights! It’s an amazing establishment and woman owned! Please check it out if you’re in town. I wish I would’ve grabbed pictures.“

“friendly staff, great location and good parking“

“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.“

“Food is excellent service is very professional“

“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.)“

“A good time… All the time…“

“This is a solid spot. They also have a bar. The staff is amazing! They are way faster than I thought!Daisly and the front crew give family vibes and I Definitely appreciate that.Most importantly, they bless with the food and it's seasoned to perfection!I would recommend & I NEVER leave reviews ?“

“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.“

“Close, great food and dancing“

“💎This place was an unexpected surprise.😳 The food, the drinks,🔥 the atmosphere,🔥 the service,🔥 this place was firing on all cylinders.😁 They have a spacious outdoor patio with both covered and uncovered areas.

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

“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!“

“I went to this restaurant with my sister yesterday for lunch. The food was delicious and the waitress was very pleasant actually very very polite But, the guy at the bar was rude and plays music very loud @1pm. We had to change our seats away from the middle section. what a mixed experience.“

“ChiCha is one of my little hidden gems. The service is excellent, the food is good, the women are super pretty, and the music is FIYAH... and I mean FIYAH! I've caught DJs from all over the Black Diaspora here... everyone from DJ Lois Lane, to DJ Metanoia, to DJ Mambo... its a vibe.“

“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.“

“Close, great food and dancing“

“I recently spent a week in Washington, DC, with 38 colleagues from our agency. Each evening after work, many of us explored some great spots around the city, like Old Ebbitt, The Hamilton, Joe’s Seafood, Le Diplomate, and Off The Record. While those places were all impressive, I found myself returning every night to Capitano Restaurant at the Canopy Hilton on The Wharf.

The people, not just the food or atmosphere, were what kept me coming back. I enjoyed one of the friendliest and most welcoming vacation experiences, thanks to the people at Capitano. Every visit seemed more like hanging out with friends than just going out to eat, and every discussion felt genuine. Meeting new people and having deep conversations was also made easier by the laid-back atmosphere, which eliminated the bustle and commotion that are often present in crowded restaurants and bars.

Nights like that just show you that great service is all about the people. The crew over at Capitano was the main reason I couldn't wait to swing by every night. If you ever find yourself in DC looking for good food, a great vibe, and a staff that makes you feel totally at home, you seriously need to drop in.“

“Let me say this the food is great but the service was horrible. We waited almost 45 mins before we received our food. The waitress informed us there was a larger party on the other side of the restaurant, and that is why our food was taking so long. A paying customer is a paying customer whether the party is large or small. I would like to give one more chance before I decide not to patronize this Hyattsville location again.“
