For $35 you get a massive burger, crispy fries, and full access to an all-you-can-eat salad and side bar. The Smash Burger and Chef's Secret Burger absolutely hit the spot. Come by to Thursday Burger Nights from 5 PM - 9 PM plus explore the rest of their menu throughout the rest of the week and weekend! I also heard their wings are the best in the city so if you beat me to it, definitely try it.

My friend hosted a happy hour there, and I love when events like that introduce you to new spots. The drink specials were honestly amazing with $6 drinks, which is hard to beat. The food specials ended at 7 while the drink specials continued until 8, so I was a little bummed to miss out on that. One thing to note if you're ordering food, the four cheese pizza comes with burrata, which I didn't realize ahead of time. I'd definitely come back to try more of the food, especially the flatbreads since they seem to have a lot of good options. That said, I don't think the staff was fully prepared for the size of our group. My friend brought around 60 people on a Friday night, and it was clear the servers were overwhelmed. At times, it took over 10 minutes just to place an order. I don't necessarily think that's the norm, so I'd be open to coming back during a regular happy hour to get a better feel for the service. Great size bar as well.

They are happy to recommend beer for your taste, and let you sample. It can be very busy and difficult to get a seat at the bar or get a table on a Friday or Saturday evening. We ordered food, and were expecting elevated bar food. The tater tots were a huge disappointment- they were very large squares , bland, and not crispy. The wings were okay. The cheeseburgers were the best- from the restaurant downstairs- mallard. Huge burger, done perfectly medium.

I visited as part of the full experience -- dinner downstairs at Birch & Barley, then up to Churchkey for drinks -- and honestly, it's one of the best evenings I've had in DC. Churchkey itself is everything a great bar should be. The beer selection is absolutely unreal -- hundreds of carefully curated labels spanning every style, region, and flavor profile you can imagine. What sets it apart is that the staff actually knows the menu. Our server walked us through a few options based on what we liked and landed us on perfect picks both times. That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft. The smash burger also deserves a mention: simple, well-executed, and hits the spot. The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming. Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender. This place has earned its reputation as one of the best beer bars on the East Coast -- and then some. Highly recommend making a full night of it with both floors. You won't regret it. Feel free to adjust the tone or add any personal details from your actual visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It feels like a friend's rich parent's fancy basement where you would get super wasted and play games with friends. Definitely come on a chill weeknight when it's quiet to avoid the chaos. The machines are pricier than other barcades, so we played more board games than pinball. It's more of a place to have a drink than to game for me. The bartender seemed unhappy when we walked in, and our group of 4 were the only customers so that was a bit awkward. The door guy was awesome though. We'd absolutely come back when in DC.

The music is always a great mix of 80s hits (Bee Gees, ABBA, MJ, etc.). The drinks are appropriately priced. If you're coming here to play billiards on the weekend, don't bother. It's almost impossible to get a table, unless you can beat the finance bros. Still super fun!

Runners just do that. Run around the restaurant throwing food down on tables and run back to the kitchen. Never checking on anyone to see if they need anything and how the food is. I ordered the SW Salad ($16.50) with a steak add on ($9.00) at medium temp. I also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder ($5.95) as an appetizer. Chowder came out pretty much right on top of my salad, but no big deal. Chowder was decent taste, but only found one clam. Ok whatever. Salad came out looking like a side salad on a large plate with five slices of rare, tough steak. It was so rare, that it was extremely hard to cut through, but again, who was I going to talk to about it. No wait staff would even look my way. I couldn't even get a refill on my water and there is no place in the app to order a glass of water...so that's that. Unfortunately it was just an extremely bad experience for $40. I'll be looking for dinner somewhere else tomorrow night.

There's a great variety, so whether you're into something light or want to try something more unique, you've got options. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for a laid-back night with good drinks and a cool, low-key atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

If you're not paying attention, you'll miss the door for this downstairs bar. With happy hour every day from 4-8pm, you can't really go wrong. There isn't food for purchase but you get a free basket of popcorn to munch on. The location is small, so it did get pretty packed / busy when we were there. Patience with the bartenders as they try to get everyone's drink orders. Super easy spot for a quick drink in general or before a show at CapOne.

As the name would suggest, the dynamic of this place caters to degenerates who are looking to bathe themselves in cheap beer, and whiskey, and of course chicken wings. It's like the business model of this place was designed for those who were torn between getting a case of beer and some take out and watching the game on their couch or going to a bar. Aesthetically and functionally it would be credible that bar stool sports owned this bar as well as the underlying ethos of how it conducts business. The beer Shot combos at this spot are frankly unsurpassable from a price and value point. Pro tip: leave your girlfriend at home, this place is not for her. She will resent you after learning that this place has replaced your incumbent place of worship as well as for observing the sheer joy on your face when you realize in earnest the simplicity of the business model and how much you love it: Criminally cheap beer as well as shot combos, greasy chicken wings, chicken tenders, french fries, Sports TVs. Thats it. If you wanna get torched with the lads, this is the spot. I would guess that roughly 70% of their bar patrons have money on the game at all time while the bartenders seem to reliably be some type of Shane Gillis adjacent white guy. A real Beauty

You ever been to a place that the moment you walked in the vibes were off? I found that at TallBoy…read moreimmediately. TallBoy is located on the side of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and the inside is small with only one bar. The atmosphere was loud but felt tired at the same time, similar to a rural dive bar. Service? One bartender who was slow at serving and also responsible for the food orders. Menu for food is wings, fires, a burger, and a few other items. Our whole table ordered wings, and they have good flavors that the table enjoyed. However, my order came out wrong from the start, I ordered boneless lemon pepper dry rub, and I didn't feel like arguing with them due to the uninspiring service up to that point. TallBoy is open very late, and for some that will be a major reason to stop in. Prices were high for the weak service and I would not return here.
