Neighborhood pub with a friendly crowd. The bartenders are pretty good, but the food options are very limited. It is small and dimly lit. There was a funky smell when I visited. I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I would give it a solid 3.5 stars. Street parking is plentiful (for DC). read more

Great bar to watch some sports and hangout. They have a good group for football on Sundays and saturdays. They can turn any TV to a sport you want to watch as long as it's on direct TV. I came here to watch the ATP tennis finals and it was no issue to watch the match. The bartender was super friendly and attentive, especially since he was the only one working the day I came. They do not have a kitchen any more but there is a Vietnamese restaurant, pizza place, French restaurant and a few other spots right by the bar and you can bring in food. read more

I came in during happy hour where the house cocktails were $6 and select appetizers were $6. I ordered the house bourbon mule, which was pretty refreshing. There was only 1 bartender and doubled as the server when I was there. He did keep up pretty well with taking care of everyone. It's a decent establishment with several tvs and gives a nice dive bar feel. I ordered the grilled cheese and added bacon with fries. About 15 minutes or so, I got my food. I was pretty impressed with the generous portion of bacon on the grilled cheese. The fries were nice and crispy. I ordered another cocktail since it was still happy hour. I had nice conversations with other customers are the bar. It was a good time and left full. I recommend stopping in for a small town feel in the big city. read more

Good pub atmosphere and tasty bar food. I tried the chicken strips and fries. Not bad. Good barside service with several TVs to choose from. In a very crowded neighborhood, this is a solid 3* option. read more

Went in for a quick drink and the restaurant had an unpleasant smell. Seemed to have a good community of regulars enjoying a soccer game. Service was fast and kind. read more

Fish and chips were great. Good place for live music or to watch a sports game. The staff was very nice too.

The food was really good and the servers were fantastic. Everyone was nice, the overall atmosphere was calm. It's a small place but it's really good. If you're ever in the area I would definitely suggest trying it out! read more

Stumbled upon this place after a failed attempt to the Boardroom lol. The place was quiet, but sports game were playing on low. The restaurant made accommodations for a party of 10 as walk-ins. We arrived maybe around 9PM. We were told the kitchen was closed, but we were able to order desserts along with regular drinks. Street parking. Maybe a 5-8 min walk to the nearest Metro read more

We made reservations this past Saturday to watch West Ham play. It was bumping. As it was our first time there, we didn't realize you had to go to the bar to order and wish it was something mentioned to us as we sat down. If I was rating just the food it would be closer to a 2; it was just okay. Inconsistent bacon-some overcooked, some barely cooked. Eggs not fully done. BUT, we genuinely didn't come here for the food. We came for the great drink specials during the game. Our friends were super happy with the experience and it was a lot of fun! read more

I was in the area for a work trip, and after a long day, we stopped by Across the Pond for a drink and some apps. They have a huge selection of drinks. The staff is super knowledgeable and happy to guide you to find the right thing for you, especially if it's something you don't often get (I'm rarely drink beer, and the bartender helped me find the perfect beer to try)! It's a fun pub, welcoming and not too loud. The food was very good, we were just kind of snacking. The mozzarella sticks were fantastic. read more

I stopped by Across the Pond on a Saturday evening around 8 with a group of friends; what a great spot for a quick hydration break. The bar was pretty empty, so we had our choice of seating at the bar area; we chose a couple of high bar tables and made ourselves at home. The decor and environment is exactly what you'd expect for a pub -- lots of TVs around the bar area playing a variety of games and friendly bar patrons. We got a variety of drinks and everyone was pleased - standard rails were $7ish bucks and other cocktails started at around $9. Of course they have a large variety of beers on tap too. The bartender made a special flavored margarita for a couple of the ladies in our group that they really enjoyed! The food was solid - I had the fried pickle spears and a quick taste of the corned beef sandwich. Fried pickles are tough to get right, but these are done really well; the breading was seasoned well and crispy. I'm not the biggest fan of corned beef but the sandwich was solid, personal bias aside. They have lots of options of standard bar fare. Overall, great place to come in and get a round or 3, would definitely stop by again. read more

A great place to watch a game or enjoy a happy hour. The food is good and very reasonably priced. Has great deals on beer and cocktails. I have eaten the breakfast burrito and brunch burger. Both were good brunch burger is my favorite. Its well seasoned and pretty filling. The burrito is good but tastes a little too buttery. I have gone here a few times to watch the premiere league and gets pretty packed for most games. But is a good atmosphere. read more

No food. No kitchen. No good. Don't believe the claim they have food. What a waste of time.

Place is reasonably priced and the food is decent but they are run a bit weird. For example they said they were out of salad but acknowledged they had all the necessary components to make salads. Fries are thick and not very good. Staff was nice and being an Irish pub they had Irish sports on TV which was kind of cool. Overall decent place to grab some food. read more

Came for trivia night and was bitterly disappointed, which was especially bad because I brought friends from out of town as well. There was only one waiter working for the entire restaurant (+ bartender) so service was incredibly slow. We ordered when the tables were only about 1/4th full and our food took a full 55 minutes to arrive. And during that time no one ever came to check on our drinks or anything and was not concerned about the wait. The food itself was some of the worst food I've had in a long time- most of us couldn't even finish (stale bread, fishy chicken, weirdly sweet mac and cheese?). 20% tip is required on any 'special' nights, which normally I don't mind, but this time kind of stung since I was looking like a chump for bringing guests to such poor service and food. The trivia itself went alright- they had a huge TV and projector but didn't use it at all, we just played from our phones. No theme in advance and things were disorganized at the start but it worked out. The host was on his phone a lot so the timing was weird, but so it goes. IDK if it was just a bad night or what was going on but I definitely won't be returning. Maybe it's better to just come for drinks? Definitely avoid for dinner. read more

Went for the trivia with a group of friends, and it was great. A little cramped but nothing you can really do about that and a testament to how popular the spot is! I got the happy hour sliders and ordered late, 5 minutes before it ended (that's on me). The sliders were all that were left but still came out a reasonable and the waiter was friendly, serving both myself and my friends drinks and food. It was so good, my pal went to snatch a bite from a Reuben of another friend! Highly recommend, especially if you like trivia! read more

Good beer, solid pub food, great service. If you want a good pub, this is it. We've been a number of times and it's always excellent.

English Pub to it's core. Unpretentious pub that is cozy and lively. Highly recommend the chili with sour cream or cheese. Sliders are good. The onion rings (so yummy) have an amazing gluten free crust. Didn't try pickles but was told they use same crust. This is the place to watch DC United away games! read more

Went here to watch the euro cup games. Small bar with small TVs and subpar service. Didn't love the ambiance in the establishment or the vibes coming from the staff. After ordering, we waited over 30 minutes for our 3 beers. They never came and eventually we had to just go to the bar to get it ourselves. When we got to the bar my credit card was just sitting on the counter unattended. Never received an apology or acknowledgement of what happened, so we just drank our beers, waited for half time, then left. read more

Really nice pub in DuPont circle! Friendly staff and great happy hour deals. Tried their mint Moscow mule which was delicious and also had their brownie from the dessert menu. Came here with some friends after dinner to chat and it was a great atmosphere to do so. Lots of TVs and tables to sit at as well. Definitely want to come back to try their food! read more

Great find! Awesome pub food- perfect for when you're not in the mood for cheffy-small plates, but want a large serving of tasty comfort food at a fair price. Note: I ordered delivery and everything was well packaged and traveled well. Had the fish and chips, which reminded me of what I had in Ireland. Fish was solid (bonus points for Cod) and the chips were done well. They gave me blue cheese instead of tartar sauce, presumably a mistake, but made up for it by including malt vinegar, a thoughtful touch. Wouldn't have expected ATP to have a good dessert but the bread pudding was delicious. Came with a fantastic blueberry sauce that tasted of real berries, not the typical overly sugary and sweet sauce commonly found. Outstanding value for huge portions of fish and chips and bread pudding- total came to under $20 before tip. Highly recommended. read more

Decent little pub, but no food. All postings show a full British menu. They send you next door for pizza!

Across the Pond probably has the best all day / week long happy hour around this area. They have solid drink specials and I would highly recommend it for a quick beer or to catch a game. I would say that their rail drinks are a little on the weaker side but then again, they're happy hour drinks. No for the food! Taco Tuesday specials are solid and you can't beat the price! Great straightforward tacos (4/5). I would also say that the Chicken Pot Pie (4/5) is not bad either. It's plated as if it could be shared and I think it's a solid meal too. read more

I made a reservation for dinner only... the kitchen is currently closed. When I called and asked after reading another Yelp review, they confirmed. When I asked why I would be allowed to make a dinner reservation without any dinner being served, they man, though kind, said they probably just needed to take reservations offline. That would be of first importance so you don't have a bunch of people showing up to eat only to leave hungry. read more

Came for a Thursday night happy hour with several others. It was pretty busy but service was still really slow (I think they may have just been short staffed). Waiting for the server to come take our drink order, then bring drinks to table and take our food orders took at least 25 min. However once the food was ordered it came out surprisingly fast, and the food itself was great! Definitely one of the better fish and chips I have ever had. If I came back I would just try to see if they were better staffed before sitting down, especially if I didn't have all night. read more

This place was great. It's a bar (full of men) on one side, and the next room had tables and chairs. There was no room at the bar so we grabbed some drinks from the bartender and then a table in the next room. The man working that day could not have been nicer. We were not forgotten about once even though at one point we were the only two on that side. I had the crab cake sandwich and substituted a salad for the fries. It was so good!! The bread was soft so I was able to mush it down and get it all in my mouth. My friend loved her corned beef and cabbage too. She didn't even share... hrmph. We eventually moved to the bar and we ordered dessert. I got the brownie with ice-cream. The brownie was more cakey than brownie so it wasn't my fav, but didn't stop me from eating it all. Overall - great food, fun pub feel and friendly service! read more

Great gluten free bar food. Ordered the fish and chips, onion rings, fried pickles and chicken strips to share. Had enough left over for lunch for 2 the next day. It's hard to find gluten free fried food so I really appreciated being able to comfortably share with my gluten intolerant dining partner! read more

Store front with tables in the window right on Connecticut Ave. Less than a 5 minute walk from the DuPont Metro station. The usual fare you'd expect across the pond. As is my custom I had an order of fish and chips to go with my cider. Fish was good crispy and well seasoned. Wait staff was attentive, the bartender brought me a water as soon as I walked in. I came in my Friday off in the middle of the day and although there were a few other customers it wasn't too busy. I'd love to come back in the summer when I imagine the picture windows will be wide open. I'd love to try a few of the other things on the menu like the bangers and mash. Lots of different happy hour specials on offer and this place shows English premier league soccer for all the other fans out there. read more

I'm sure this is an ok place to sit at the bar and drink but the food was atrocious. The chicken tenders were flat as paper and tasted like fish. The cheese fries were beyond dry. Like they had been sitting out all day. The only thing that was ok was the honey mustard and ranch. The Diet Coke was flat. Just overall I will not be eating there again. But the servers were attentive. read more

Came here for lunch and pretty much had the place to ourselves. The food was very good and filling with both British and American bar food. We chose the British dishes, fish and ships and beef stew. Properly fried the fish was flaky and tender. Bite tender, the beef was perfect. The serving sizes were right for lunch. read more

I come here to watch Everton matches. While our team is shit, watching the game at Across the Pond weekend mornings is still a highlight of my week. The vibe is great, especially if you are a soccer fan! And the best part is that it's CHEAP! I can get day drunk with a full breakfast for under $20! This is a win for everyone. read more

Boyfriend and I ordered draft beers which were delicious! Sam Adam's Octoberfest. Ordered mozzarella sticks, fish & chips, and the bourbon burger. It was all hot and fresh and flavorful! Bartender was fantastic and he was on it. Great evening! read more

Hope you like rugby! Service was good. Place was crowded but fun. I felt like I had been whisked away across the pond for lunch!

So I ventured into the city for happy hour after a too long hiatus. This place is very walkable from the DuPont metro (North exit). I met my friends and a fellow Yelper for some happy hour libations. My friends were really digging their $4 gin and tonics, which seemed to get more potent as the night went on (or maybe they were just getting more tipsy). I had a pale ale and a veggie quesadilla for just $8.50. They have select appetizers half-off at happy hour, so you might have to splurge and get their $13 crab balls, which were really good according to my pal. It was crowded or loud in the bar area during happy hour which lasts until 8PM FTW. There are enough long tables to accommodate large groups. The bartenders were great and kept our drinks flowing. I'll have to come back and try their fish & chips, my test to determine if a British pub is truly authentic. (I did see them bring malt vinegar to someone in our group.) Suggestion: Maybe serve a mini version of fish and chips for $6 during happy hour. Cheerio. read more

Went for Trivia Night which was fantastic -- it is one of the few places in DC where the trivia is not near-impossible or fully centered around current events, so it was refreshing to see different types of questions! The food was classic bar food; we got fried pickles, French fries, mozz sticks and the Turkey sandwich. The French fries were the favorite of the table! read more

Came to watch a caps game and have dinner. I wanted to go to a bar that actually served good food, and yelp led me here! First, we arrived just before the start of the game at 8 and were able to take advantage of the end of happy hour. We both ordered pints of Guinness blonde for $5. We both wanted fish and chips for our dinner so we decided to split that and try the Mac and cheese with corned beef as well. The food came out piping hot, and were good portions. The fish was definitely the star. Great breading and seasoning, and crispy. The fries were delicious as well, but the cole slaw was meh. Too drenched in mayo. As for the Mac and cheese, that was good for some bites but I wouldn't get that as my only dish. There was just a sprinkling of corner beef. The Thursday night special included a free dessert with purchase of 2 entrees so we tried the apple pie a la mode. Delicious! Very cinnamony. Overall, good food and good selection of draft beer. Friendly staff too. Will return for some of their other nightly specials and when in need of a happy hour that extends past 7. read more

Went to try the fish and chips during the middle of the day. This is definitely a sports bar with food on the side. The fish tasted over cooked in old oil. Yuck. Go to drink, not eat. Maybe the food tastes better after 5-6 pints. read more
