“What a great spot waitress was the best“

“My entire group loved the atmosphere and the food was awesome! The staff was excellent, prompt, kind and engaging! Will definitely be going back!“

“Stayed at the Holiday Inn so we ate here and were pleasantly surprised! The yuca fries and crab dip were so good! The fries are really crispy and the sauce is creamy and a little spicy. The house red on the happy hour menu was also good for $6. Wasn't busy at all on a Monday during happy hour, but the service was great and prompt.“

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

“We went to the restaurant down at the wharf….. To start, the hostess at the front was on her phone and not really paying any mind to the people walking in the door. Come to find out after that was the floor manager. Then we get sat and none of the workers talk about who is in charge of that section. We did. It get me is or silverware. The very nice bartender comes up, gets us some water and menus gets us started and finally the sever comes over to us. The server took our order and checked on us twice. When the food was brought to the table we still didn’t have silverware and had to ask the food runner. Our server had a a ten top when we arrived and she was checking on her the whole time not paying any mind to the other tables she has. It was to the point I had to go up to someone ask for water refill bc both our glasses were empty. We finish our meals that were very good and no one but the bartenders are on the floor. I see our sever walk over to the restroom, she comes out looks at us and sees that we are sitting doing nothing, then walks over to a new 10 top and disappears. It’s at thing point I now have to walk over to the bartender and get our check and they are the ones that cash us out. Thank you to the bartender that took care of us“

“I’m sitting here right now writing this review for Siobhan, and Lauren, it’s very busy here today and they’ve done amazing job. Other than I got a second chicken sandwich because I didn’t like the coleslaw lol. But your ranch is to die for. I just wanna bathe in it or take it home. I wish y’all could just like sell it by itself lol. Thank you so much for the wonderful service. I will definitely be back since I don’t live in DC. I live in Chesapeake Virginia. I will definitely be wanting to see Lauren and Siobhan again.“

“Drinks: The (definition of) neighborhood bar. See you there. Cocktails are great, supposedly... But so is beer and whiskey.

Food: The burgers are something else. Big and messy with arugula. Yes please. House chips are the best munchy one could ask for.

If you don't go to qht... They'll be fine... Will you though? No. You won't.“

“Awesome place!!! Great food and wonderful staff☘️☘️☘️“

“I genuinely can’t say enough good things about this place. I’m a local and for whatever reason hadn’t visited Queen Vic before yesterday, but a friend and I decided to drop in for a couple beers and a snack. Little did we know the level of hospitality we would receive. Matt is so kind and immediately treated us like family. The bar was busy but we felt taken care of and happy the entire time. Also doesn’t hurt that the food and drinks are amazing (do yourself a favor and order the donuts - you won’t regret it)! Going to be one of my new favorite spots 😊“

“They had a very large beer selection and lots of pumpkin flavored beers for the fall which was fun! Came here on a Thursday and they were also were having a free wine tasting. Plenty of food options and there were also some games available to play. Staff was friendly and quick!“

“First timer here but my children aren’t . They live in Arlington.“

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“YUM! Ultimate Ham sandwich, FRICKLES, Starburst Shooter, and getting while you can , the ELLEN cocktail!!!! Great neighborhood pub with great service! You feel welcomed!“

“Great bar with great vibes and even better employees. I truly cannot convey how grateful I am for the amazing employees at this bar! After fainting at the bottom of the stairs Friday night, the employees all immediately sprang into action, making sure that I was ok and asking questions while they called for paramedics. They even knew that I hadn’t been drinking, properly conveying that I was having a true medical issue. The first thing I remember is one of them telling me that I wasn’t alone and everything was going to be ok. Fainting episodes are always very disorienting and even painful for me, but everyone made me feel completely safe and comforted. They ensured no onlookers made me uncomfortable or laughed, really minimizing my immense embarrassment about the whole experience. They were so respectful, and one man in particular truly took care of me the entire time. Honestly, I’m sure they did even more than I was aware of, and I am so grateful for their assistance. This is an absolutely amazing bar that simply put my safety above all else. I have never been treated with such genuine care, thoughtfulness, and kindness during a fainting episode. My only regret is not getting any of their names to properly thank them for their help, so I really hope they see this! Your help meant the world to me, and I cannot wait to tell all of my friends to come to The Commodore!“

“My son and I were visiting DC and always looking for a good burger. The burgers were outstanding. One of the best I have ever had.“

“Best beers I've had in a long time! So many great and creative options of beers! Every one I sampled was OUTSTANDING! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Hats off to the brewer and the staff are SOOO friendly, professional and helpful! Great atmosphere and the outdoor patio is an added bonus on beautiful days!“

“I have chicken wings ring ring Chris Rock they would really really good I had a good time there“

“The best place to see new music from everywhere on earth“

“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“

“come on out, best dive bar ever!“

“My family and I enjoyed a great and fun lunch. The appetizer and entrees were delicious. The waitstaff and hostess were excellent and friendly. We will be back to dine again in the future.“

“The food was not good and service was subpar. Seemed like it was an okay place, but didn't have enough tables and was very small inside. Came late and on a few occasions when last call came, there were always 10 to 15 people still inside after the male bartender told everyone else to leave. He locked the door with always others left inside. I've observed this happening on a number of occasions. So last call, isn't apparently last call, and why were some staying when everyone else was told to leave?“

“Very affordable drinks, with variety. Better options for beer, not so much on wine. It's truly a pub above a whole foods, with an arcade and TVs where you can watch Thursday night football. Great atmosphere, that doesn't get too loud that you can't chat after work.“

“My bestie and I went to Union Pub for their bottomless mimosas and food. It was SPECTACULAR! The grits were DELICIOUS! I loved my poinsettias! We watched five games at once. I can’t wait to go back!“

“This continues to be the best little seminary pub in the world. The staff is excellent. The food is great. The people are all happy. I first told my wife I love her outside on what is now the patio. It's a very special place. If you're reading this you should go, have a blast, and tip lavishly.“

“One of a kind! Awesome selection of Korean and American snacks. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is upbeat with a lounge vibe. Highly recommend.

Only caveat is parking might be tough during peak hours. Be careful parking in Honey Pig and Rumba lots adjacent to 1943 Classic.“

“Great place for mussels!“

“This brewery stands out as one of Virginia's finest! JD and Jimmy made an effort to understand our beer preferences and offered thoughtful recommendations based on your taste. Every beer we tried was perfectly crafted and balanced. The entire space, from the taproom to the restrooms, is kept spotlessly clean. The genuine care they show for both their craft and their customers makes this place truly exceptional.“

“The last 2 years at Murphy’s on New Year’s Eve were really great. We were surprised at how delicious our meals were, steak so tender you cut cut it with a fork. Pohemia is such a fun and friendly band. The perfect place for NYE.“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Place should be shut down. Horrible service, horrible vibe, horrible hookah, no drinks, and they try to drug their customers. What a way to welcome people to the capitol“

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“We went there 3 evenings in a row. Bar at the top, waiter on Wednesday at the top, waitress on Thursday at the top. On the other hand, the waitress on Friday evening, a STÉPHANIE H, no smile and not pleasant. Too bad for the bar. We will not return for 4 evenings.“

“Please come out October the 29th for the Halloween Sip&Paint party the cost is $50.00 per adult“

“All I can say is the only thing better than the outstanding food is the incredible customer service. The next time we are on DC, I will go out if my way to visit one of the locations.“

“You won’t go wrong with anything 🦚❤️👍🏻“

“Chill neighborhood bar. Great beers and an actually tasty pina colada…“

“One of our all time favorites!“

“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.“

“Great food, atmosphere and service“

“Best Irish Pub in the US.“

“A 501(c)(3) non-profit bar, where you can drink for a good cause! Good Belgian beers. NO TV! Cell phones discouraged. Real live, face-to-face, human-to-human communication instead of screen-to-screen or screaming at television B.S. Live music. Open mics and jams. Good conversations.“

“ATP is always a favorite. Nearly all of their fried food is made gluten free l, which is especially accommodating to those with Celiac Disease. The staff is always very friendly and the restaurant is always a great place to watch a game!

Dietary restrictions: Great for those with Celiac Disease.“

“Once you go, you are family!“

“Supergezellige vibe. Er was een wijn promo (50% korting per fles!) en ze hebben lekker Belgisch bier. We hebben er niet gegeten, maar ik zou er zeker voor terugkomen. Er was op het moment dat wij er waren een jazzbandje dat speelde. Dit was een beetje luid, maar als je wilt babbelen kan je dat doen op het ruime terras“

“A little piece of Ireland in the heart of Cleveland Park.“

“the wangs are perfect. Being from Louisiana, it's hard finding good food when we travel. Brass tap gets 5 stars from Guccidem. I hate I couldn't meet the owners. Guccidem approves“
