    I was really searching for a Happy Hour on a Monday afternoon. Google search results says this place opens at 4, but when I walked past and saw it was actually opened around 310p. Happy Hour time also Music was dreadfully loud. I was the only person at the bar at the time. They have HH prices for food too, but that is not mentioned on any menu or billboards. I did get the wings to go ($10) and a pepperoni pizza ($10) and Beer ($5) during happy hour. You'll be mislead, they have a whole list of DRAFT beers on their menu but they only actually have like 5 beers on Draft/tap. A couple who came in like 15 mins after me, got their food way before me. The wings even came out long before my pepperoni pizza did Pizza was fine. I couldn't get the bartender's attention for a fork/knife tho The wings I actually gave to a homeless person so don't know how they were The draft beer is super warm, so ask for a cold glass The service for the bartender was a bit slow. She was giving a story about how her computer crashed & her 1K word essay paper for school was lost and due the next day. Word to all - back up all of your data. then have a back up for that, then another backup for your back up! Gratuity is automatically added. I asked the bartender if gratuity was automatically added and she said "yes, everywhere you go in DC". Honestly, I don't think this to be true. So be cautious when you get your bill to check for gratuity. The receipt does say you can lower the gratuity or give more, she brought out the check with the gratuity already added. So when I gave my card to swipe, she swiped it for the full amount. I didn't want to fight it, was ready to go Would likely not return

    Had a bar with great drink selections and happy hour options. Cozy atmosphere with great music taste. Has a separate area on the second level for large guests to reserve. Very friendly bartenders. Will come again.

    Was in DC for Pride weekend and my friend and I went to Bulldog, which was one of the events' locations. It was three levels of fun and partying! Went to Bulldog for a brunch party event that looked like the food, which was buffet-style, was possibly catered by another business. The staff at Bulldog, including the general manager that was there, were beyond nice! I would come back to Bulldog to dine in because the service was very good!

    DWTS!

    Hot girls love Bulldog!! We love coming here to watch Dancing with the Stars and drink some mojitos. It is such a comfortable vibe and the drinks are great! Plus, my friend totally has a flirtation with the bartender (they might get married) - 10/10 recommend!

    No wonder why this establishment is empty. Automatic inclusion of service charge on top of excessivly priced drinks.

    Placed an order online for wings. Service was quick. The wings were good. Kind of through me off that the ranch that typically comes on the side was on the wings, while the wing sauce was in a container on the side. Even though it was different I enjoyed the wings and the amount of hot honey they offered. The wings were a good size, not super tiny or scary big. I'd definitely grab some more wings!!

    So Good!!!! The service was great and I love the ambiance…read more Checked out the "Burger Night in America" only on Thursdays by the way, special at Sports & Social, featuring Chef Mark Bucher. 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.

    Great local bar with large rotating craft beer selection. Highly recommend for any beer…read moreenthusiast. They have wine and cocktails 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!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Both reported, it was an outstanding choice. They enjoy the time before they took the Metro back home.

They did say, it was clean and nice in the 22-year-olds that's a compliment. They also said it was convenient to get to the metro from there.

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.
