“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“

“Megan gave us the single greatest experience I have ever had at a bar. Her service was more than amazing. It was phenomenal. It was astounding. It was superb. I asked for the moon and she provided the stars. It was beyond comprehension. She is the most impressive, outstanding, incomprehensibly amazing server I have ever had. If she ran for president, I would vote for her in a heartbeat. Since she's a few years away, running the business should be good enough for now. Promote Megan today. She has earned it.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. i love how they brew some of their own beer. My mac and cheese wasnt perfect… texture kind of off, but I still give five stars because of the great staff and atmosphere and I am sure the other food items are good.“

“One of our all time favorites!“

“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.“

“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?“

“Great selection of beer on tap, lots of wine and cocktail options, along with non-alcoholic beverages. I was welcome to bring food from downstairs and eat it at the bar while enjoying some brews. There are utensils, still and sparkling water, napkins etc“

“Amy recommended this through the DC by foot walking tour Facebook page… and it did not disappoint me! I had the BLTA… Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich… And it was awesome. I may not be able to go to it again this trip… But I’ll plan to add this to one of my favorites.“

“Once you go, you are family!“

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

“Came here at a random time after the zoo with kids and it has been a blast. I'm not sure if elementary school kids are their ideal demographic but they gave them free Shirley temples, off menu kids burgers and fries, and my kiddos are cheering for the soccer shown at the bar.

They have some interesting live music coming up, so I hope to come back (without kids) soon!“

“Food is delicious. Best crust in the DMV. Great salads. Service is reliably wonderful. My husband and I are regulars. My husband says the beer is good. My whine is about the wine, which in all categories is mediocre, expensive for what it is, and almost never changes, no matter how many nice requests we've made to the staff. PLEASE up your wine game!“

“Yummy yummy pie flight!!!“
