50 Best Bars near Greenbelt

“This was easy when staying at the Crown, nice atmosphere with happy hour until 6pm. Service is great and food is good for a small menu but great choices. I had grilled chicken thighs on rice with a side salad and it was very tasty. I’m back again but just with chicken Caesar salad, good beer and drink choices too.“

“Great live music venue - lovely community!“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“I've been here 3 times and this place is probably my current favorite bar in the city. The drinks, the food, the vibes, and the service are all impeccable. I keep bringing out of towners and everyone loves it.

I've had pretty much every drink and food item on the menu and they're each unique and worth trying. I particularly like the elevated papusas and michelada feels fancy yet somehow still authentic. However, the Ni de Aqui Ni de Alla drink perfectly summarizes the place and fits well with their current Top 50 Latin playlist in the background. You don't often hear Bad Bunny, Ozuna, and the latest Shakira in high-end cocktail bars. While anyone can feel at home here, it's a particular joy to those who've lived in Latin America.

Note that it's generally reservation only and quite intimate with just a bar area downstairs and about 3 small tables upstairs.“

“it's about time! Mocktails are my jam these days. Thanks so much for opening a cool bar I don't have to worry about a drunk fight or gun shots breaking out.“

“The burger was excellent—definitely the highlight of the meal. Everything else was solid and okay overall. The biggest issue was the service. Only one staff member was handling both the tables and the bar for the entire restaurant, so things moved really slowly. Despite that, they were friendly and doing their best under the circumstances. With better staffing, this place could be fantastic.“

“Great service, delicious food, and an amazing atmosphere!“

“My best friend and I stumbled upon Tap 99 and loved what we saw regarding the drink wall. The staff was great in explaining how it worked, gave excellent recommendations, and the food was off the charts! Lots of TVs with sports games. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Highly recommend!“

“The Ahi Tuna Wonton Nachos are life! The sushi was tasty and fresh and the bartenders were very attentive despite being VERY busy!“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Best bartenders in DC. I will not be explaining this, it is pure fact!“

“This place is intoxicating!! The decor is very Gatsbyesque! Totally cool private gin club speakeasy vibe. Went here for after dinner drinks with my girlfriends and it really hit the mark! The cocktails were gorgeous and delicious! I recommend the Gimlet. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable. It was a perfect ending to our girls trip and I can't wait to bring my husband for date night!!! Highly recommend!“

“I always just passed by this place in a hurry on the way to drop my kid off to school.
Today I decided to stop and try their Italian version of croissants.
Most of all , the service was amazing!
One of the people works there helped me was Maxwell.
He took a lot of time with smile to explain Italian pastries and coffee (They serve coffee from the oldest roaster in Italy!) He was such a jewel!
Thanks Maxwell! Your recommendation of apricots cornetto
It was excellent!“

“Not recommended at all! Never ever coming back worst service ever!!“

“The Haymaker is a great cocktail bar and has some of the best and hardest working bartenders in DC. When we arrived, the bar counter seats were almost full. Three cocktails in and the whole place was packed with 90/95% having cocktails, our refills still came quickly. Why only 4 star? They have changed the food menu and not for the better. The dumplings are still great. We also had the quesadilla. My wife liked it, I thought it was generic. We both thought the loaded tots were a major fail, the 'load', what little there was of it, had all fallen off and was in the bottom of the bowl. The draft beer choice is also weak, with Goose Island being their premium beer. I hope they change up their menu for the better.“

“It's a VIBE. The drinks are delicious, and everyone in the space is there to throw a party. Cocktail bars can be intimidating sometimes, but the people at Bar Betsie will make sure you're comfortable. I'm in love with the mirror on the back wall. The bar is in proximity to a lot of restaurants, both casual and upscale, which makes it super easy to make it there either before or after dinner.“

“My favorite neighborhood dive bar. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, impeccable barkeeps.“

“Dropped in to this cool neighborhood BAR for a cocktail on a chilly night. The friendly bartender “Chris” made me a delicious ‘Better, Better’ cocktail with Jamaican Doctorbird Rum. The food MENU is limited. 100% come for vibe, drinks, service, and atmosphere.“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Love the vibes here good cocktails good people great time.“

“Happy hour mini crab cakes were awesome!!!“

“Food was good, but the quantity was scarce. I didn’t get everything they offered though so that could be why. Didn’t notice much vegetarians or vegan options. Music was good, they tried to be inclusive. Bathroom was clean. The hostesses were attentive and prompt. There was a mixed crowd.“

“Hip bar with fun crowd, pool, and excellent cocktails“

“Got married on a Friday. We were doing brunch at one restaurant then College Football & more food at Last Call.

Gina the owner could not have been any more accommodating to our group. Needless to say they went above and beyond for us.

The drinks kept coming and the food was simple and great!

10/10....would definitely recommend having a gathering there!!!!“

“Amazing place ,definitely going back“

“Always love stopping by this place when in the area The art is catch and staff friendly“

“Good beer, fantastic service, Nice environment“

“We hosted a team building event here and it was amazing! Tracia and her team were so friendly and fun. Our team members had a blast. The food was good, music hyped everyone up, and the staff were attentive and provided excellent service. I highly recommend Kick Axe Throwing and Throw Social for any memorable event or just a great night out.“

“What a cute concept! I’ve heard about Metrobar but finally went recently. During the cooler evenings, there are heaters for the outside seatings, and inside the car is just as toasty.

Ordering is a little weird. You can order drinks from the bar or scan the QR code. However, when using the QR code, the drinks come from outside, not made by the bartender in the metro car.

There’s also food on side where you can go outside and order or you can scan the food QR code. However, ordering from the QR code, you have to pick up the food a little ways down from the bar.

Now that the concept is more understood, it’ll be easier for me to order more appropriately.“

“Great place to come hang out and have a drink Awesome bartenders!!“

“I had a 30 year high school reunion on May 3, 2024 at 3 pm. Everyone had a great time meeting with old friends again. The restaurant is quite spacious and accommodating for our needs.“

“Cool place with live music outdoors!“

“Trusty’s is the kind of neighborhood dive bar everyone wishes they had nearby. It’s relaxed, unpretentious, and always delivers a good time. The staff is friendly, the drinks are affordable, and the crowd is a fun mix of locals and regulars.

The coolest part is the old-school bus upstairs — a quirky, unexpected space that makes the bar feel uniquely DC. It’s the perfect spot for grabbing drinks with friends, posting up for a casual night out, or just enjoying a no-frills, welcoming atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a comfortable bar with character (and zero pretense), Trusty’s is the place. A reliable favorite!“

“Shelter is a beer lover's paradise. With its wide selection of craft beers, it offers a diverse range of flavors to satisfy every palate. The relaxed and inviting atmosphere provides the perfect setting to enjoy a pint or two. The added advantage of being connected to a food court allows patrons to explore a variety of culinary options, ensuring there's something for everyone. The knowledgeable staff is always ready to provide recommendations and help navigate the extensive beer menu. Whether you're a beer aficionado or just looking for a casual spot to unwind, Shelter offers a fantastic beer bar experience with the added convenience of easy access to a delicious food court.“

“This place is soooo cozy and feels just like home. Their food is always delicious. I had veggie beyaynetu, and you could tell it was made fresh and was absolutely delicious.
They have incredibly sweet and welcoming hosts, esp Maraki. She really makes you feel cared for.
On two different occasions, they treated me to Buna on the house which was prepared in a traditional way, with frankincense and all 🤭 I just love it so much! I wish I lived in the DMV area so I could come here all the time.“

“Free 3 hr parking, the best service and the lounge at the lobby bar is fabulous!“

“Ok, so I WANT to love this bar. Good drinks, reasonable prices and dog friendly! The thing is, I really want it to have more of a neighborhood bar feel. Especially after I learned it was a recently affiliated Bills bar! (GO Bills)! But the Bills flag is tucked away in a corner near the kitchen so not many people know this. Recommendation to management: 1.) put a Bills flag out front to bring more fans in. 2.) deck the bar out in more Bills swag 3.) Add a few more drafts to the menu.

Will be back on a Sunday for a Bills game!“

“You had me at Back Alley!! Great craft cocktails. Cool spot.“

“The food and drinks were great and so was our bartender. I didn’t get her name but she was a beautiful blonde. Thanks sweetie!“

“good people, good food, plenty of pool tables.“

“I always have a good time when I go to Baystreet. I love the bartenders TG and Erica...and DJ Jealousy is the man! And of course Yani's smiling face when you get your wristband. Security is always cool too. Overall, nice, chill spot, no trouble, just grown folks having fun.“

“I love to come here for a cocktail with colleagues and clients. It's upscale, has a great view, and the bartenders are always on top of their game. I haven't loved the small plates and apps available to accompany drinks, if their menu improved it would be difficult to go anywhere else in Navy Yard. We had old fashioneds that were great, don't recommend the tuna appetizer.“

“Beautiful Hotel and great location“

“Great food, friendly service, lovely atmosphere“

“I've been to District Alley on H St and District Alley on U St. The three owners Nate, Danielle and Marq are very hospitable and kind. The atmosphere is very welcoming. They have notable DJ's who spin at both spots, the drinks are on point and so is the food. I highly recommend you check them out.“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“Great place to either pregame or hang out at in the shade during a hot summer game. Plenty of space plus standing-room-only tables. To get here you can walk up the stairs from the Brewhouse below, or take the escalators up to the second level of the stadium and then walk across the concourse behind the scoreboard.“

“The Upper Crust Bakery is the best bakery I have ever been too. When I was patronizing Upper Crust it was located in Silver Spring. We now live in Upper Marlboro, but I continued to come all the way from Upper Marlboro to Silver Spring just to come to Upper Crust. It's such a wonderful place to shop for all your sweets and breads. I'm still waiting to find out if there is one near me. I love your UPPER CRUST!!!! ********** <3“
