About 9lb Hammer

Nine Pound Hammer is a dive bar located in Georgetown with a fun and chill atmosphere, known for its affordable drinks and a regular crowd. The bartenders are friendly and welcoming, making it a great place to hang out with friends, play pool, and listen to music. The decor is quirky and a little gritty, fitting the laid-back vibe. The drinks are solid, with plenty of local beers on tap and cocktails that do the job without breaking the bank. The food menu is straightforward, featuring items like the Reuben Sandwich, which is served with fresh, hand-sliced corned beef brisket cooked in-house and placed on crisp, true Rye bread. The sandwich is topped with melted Swiss cheese, well-rinsed sauerkraut, and a good amount of Russian/Thousand Island dressing, making it nearly perfect. Customers have enjoyed the cheese curds with honey sriracha dipping sauce, describing them as a standout. While the food is decent, some reviews mention that the fries can be a bit inconsistent, sometimes serving leftovers from previous nights. Parking can be a challenge in the area, but prices are reasonable compared to other places, and the arcade games add extra entertainment. The crowd is diverse, from artists to locals unwinding after work, and staff are attentive and kind. The atmosphere can be quite dark and loud, requiring close proximity to hear conversations, but overall, it’s a great spot for a low-key night out without any drama.
