    Eebee's, a short story. A time capsule from a simpler era. A place where you leave home just to arrive at your second home. It's everything that was special about the 90s - a wood grained bar, bartenders that feel like friends, an unpretentious menu & a music selection that ties everything together with a bow (the only thing that is missing is that slightly stale cigarette smell but maybe thats something we leave in an earlier era). In a world full of performativeness, Eebees is comfortingly authentic.

    This place definitely lives up to the hype. The mozzarella sticks and burger were great very tasty and flavorful. The mozzarella sticks are big and a lot for one person. They have great flavor and are fried well. Nice and crunchy and cheese is melted on the inside. The burger has great flavor from the dry aging that you can taste. It was perfectly cooked to medium rare. The chips that came with it were good and nicely fried. Service was nice and friendly I sat at the bar they are very busy with drink orders but were nice and checked throughout my meal if everything was good. It's a dive bar with great food. It's worth waiting in line for and you'll enjoy it.

    There's nothing better than a bar with good food (the kitchen is open until 1 am on the weekends). The bartenders and waiters are so genuine and attentive. I ordered onion rings and a shrimp cocktail, and it was surprisingly filling. I also have another friend who frequents this bar that adores the sandwich. The sauce that they use for the crackers is to die for. I like the theme of the bathrooms, but wish that there was more Black representation.

    Eebee's deserves every bit of hype it's getting. This location on the corner of 6th & FL has had its share of turnover over the years, but this finally feels like a restaurant that's here to stay. They don't take reservations, so plan ahead and expect a wait...we were quoted three hours and ended up waiting closer to 1.5! Pro tip: grab a drink nearby while you wait (Shaws, 600T, ECA, ...). The staff makes it easy, taking your name and number and texting when your table's ready. Inside, the vibe hits immediately: dark, moody, and effortlessly cool. It has that dive bar feel, but it's brand new, which somehow works perfectly. Casual, lively, and comfortable all at once. The menu is small, but in the best way. They're clearly focused on doing a few things really well. The Caesar salad was unreal, loaded with parmesan. The mozzarella sticks were massive and tasted homemade (because they are). And the burger? Worth the hype. Perfectly cooked, topped with a big crispy onion, smothered in cheese, and served with beef tallow fries. Unreal. I wish I had room for the banana split and the turkey club... guess I'll just have to come back. Service was excellent across the board. Even on a packed Friday night, we were checked on often, food came out quickly, and our server was friendly, helpful, and full of great recommendations. Bottom line: there are very few places I'd wait in the rain for: this is one of them.

    Huge shoutout to Maggie, Essence, & the whole team at Eebees! The staff are a huge reason to even go. They made this such a memorable experience. The food, especially burgers & banana split, never disappoint. From the dirty shirley cocktail to the caesar salad, the menu is unreal. Every single thing is a winner. Never met a place where they could put anything in front of me and I would be happy. I had the grilled cheese with bacon for the first time and lets just say after a few drinks its the best thing. Please please please never change Eebees!

    I've been sitting on this review for quite a long time, mostly because I feel it was going to be controversial or against the grain. I first off want to start and say it's so exciting to see a place get so much buzz and so much recognition all over all of the platforms. I think that in itself, is so impressive. I also think that because of all the hype, maybe my expectations were too high? We came in on a Saturday afternoon and were lucky to snag some seats in the back. We started with the mozzarella sticks. These were yummy and crispy and cheesy, but nothing out of this world if we are being honest. Still, it was a good start to our meal and I'm glad we tried them. Next, we each did the burger. I'm not a cheese gal so maybe that was my downfall here, but the burger for me was just fine. I feel like the concept is great in theory, but even as juicy as the meat is, I feel a special sauce might add a bit more flavor. My friend who ordered the burger with the cheese even felt something was missing. Again, the food was fine, but nothing out of this world. And that's okay! I just don't understand the hype, at the risk of sounding like a hater. Could it be the aesthetic and the vibe of a neighborhood bar? Perhaps?? But if we are being honest about the food, I think that's a separate conversation. I love a good bar menu and a good bar burger but this one just doesn't stand out to me. Again, I'm happy about its success - I think we need more places like this that give a no frills vibe, but this is still not a dive bar and the food is nothing to write home about, in my humble opinion.

    Walk into Eebee's Corner Bar and you'll feel the energy. It's not the crowded bar or the noise of people laughing and enjoying each other. What you feel is the energy of passion, the satisfaction of owner and Native Washingtonian Emily Brown living her dream, a dream that threads every detail behind D.C.'s newest favorite corner bar. Since it opened its doors in November 2025, Eebee's Corner Bar has gained the attention of local media and neighbors alike. The result is a busy flow of people every day they are open, which is Monday-Sunday. They don't take reservations, but the staff are friendly and will gladly add you to the waitlist and invite you to order a drink at one of two bars. My friend Keith and I walked in around 8:15 p.m. on a Thursday evening in February. The wait was supposed to be two hours, but after one hour, we got a table. The drink menu is simple. There's draft beer and even a North Carolina hard cider. The cocktails are classics like daiquiris and martinis. Keith enjoyed a negroni and I ordered two sours with amaretto. Each one was consistent, cold, and well balanced. For food, the menu is again simple. Their famous for their dry aged cheeseburger. The chef recommends it medium rare, but as a former vegetarian, I couldn't do it. I ordered mine medium and it was still tasty. The cheese wraps around most of the thick patty. It comes on a house-made sesame bun. The fries are unique and crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. If you love a lively gathering spot that's full of energy worth tapping into, wait out the line at Eebee's Corner Bar or go on a Sunday evening when it's a little less busy.

    Best burger, best vibe, great service! Not a bad thing on the menu and truly feels like home. You can tell everything was truly thought out and nothing was left to chance. Cannot recommend enough!

    Banana split

    Not sure how I missed when this spot first opened -- that's what I get for being too lazy to take that walk down Florida past my usual spots, haha. A friend had mentioned it to me and then I saw it and was like "oh, that's the place!" I was just casually exploring the neighborhood and decided to stop in, and I immediately loved the vibe of the place. I grabbed a seat at the bar and got an almost immediate greeting from the bartenders. I got a Rusty Nail, a classic cocktail that I've actually never had before... it's whiskey and drambuie. I loved it. I did want to continue my evening exploring so that was all I got, and then I was on my way. I heard I need to return for a burger, so that'll be happening soon. On my way out, I saw that they have a spacious back area... the place is definitely awesome. Can't wait to come back!

    This is definitely the hot spot, known as an elevated dive bar, it's the toughest place to get in. Your odds are the best if you show up a few minutes before the bar opens, even then there will be a line to get in. I love that they have 2 bars so plenty of room. The drinks were so crisp and perfect. The food menu is rather small. I wish they had a vegetarian option for the infamous burger.

    I truly cannot say enough great things about this perfection of a bar! Eebee's Corner Bar is what happens when you take the friendly, neighbourhood, at-home feel of a dive bar and mix it with good, old fashioned grub. First of all, one of the BEST dirty martinis I've had in the city, and only for $13! Second, me and my friend both got the burgers, and I loved it so much I only ate half so I could have the rest the next day for lunch. Finally, we topped it off with their banana split (the banana is brûléed!), and I can't imagine it getting any better than that. I'm already planning my next trip!

    We went on a Sunday and the wait was about an hour for two people, but we grabbed drinks at the bar and it flew by. The vibe inside is great -- lively but comfortable -- and the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. We ordered the club, cheeseburger, and Caesar salad. Everything was good, but if we had to recommend one thing, it would absolutely be the club. It was huge and so delicious. I've heard the lines can get long on weekends, but it's definitely worth it. We would absolutely go back.

    Ebees is exactly what you want in a neighborhood bar. It has that easy, welcoming feel the second you walk in, no pretension, just good vibes and great people. The bartenders are super friendly and make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time there. The Ebees Light deal is hard to beat, and the beers are always ice cold. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for a few rounds without overthinking it. Great spot to catch a game or just hang out and actually talk with friends (without screaming over club music). The burger is surprisingly solid too, not overcomplicated, just really good bar food done right. Definitely looking forward to going back. Feels like one of those spots you want to keep in your regular rotation.

    A Wonderful Sunday Brunch at CR NoMa!…read more I visited CR NoMa for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed my experience! CR NoMa is a Moroccan-Israeli scratch kitchen featuring Middle Eastern and North African flavors. I love that it feels like a relaxed neighborhood spot while still being stylish and sophisticated. FOOD: I ordered the Traffic Jam Breakfast, which comes with scrambled cheesy eggs, a hash brown, and cornmeal-crusted French toast with maple syrup and raspberry glaze. Since I don't eat pork, I swapped the bacon for crispy lamb, and everything was delicious! The French toast was definitely a highlight, especially with that raspberry glaze. I do wish they offered another traditional breakfast meat that isn't pork, like chicken or turkey sausage. The crispy lamb was a great substitute, but having another non-pork breakfast option would be nice. DRINKS: I did the $24 Bottomless "Make Your Own Mimosas," which I thought was a great deal! Instead of constantly waiting for someone to refill your mimosa, they bring bottomless bottles of sparkling wine with a selection of juices, so you can make your mimosa exactly how you like it. They also offer a $45 Deluxe Bottomless option that includes the make-your-own mimosas plus CR Bloody Marys, Micheladas, draft cocktails, and Old Time Lager. An entrée is required for either bottomless option, and food is purchased separately. SERVICE: Our server was wonderful! She was attentive, kind, and accommodating. I explained my dietary needs, and she had no problem allowing me to substitute the bacon for crispy lamb. I really appreciated how easy she made it. ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is surprisingly spacious! You really can't tell how big it is from the outside. I loved the modern rustic décor, beautiful natural lighting, and relaxed but sophisticated feel. It works perfectly as a casual neighborhood brunch spot but also feels like somewhere that could easily transition into a lively dinner and drinks destination. The broader menu features Middle Eastern and North African flavors, including fresh brick-oven pita and house-made hummus, plus craft cocktails. They also offer happy hour and weekend brunch, so there's plenty for me to come back and try! PRICE: The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. You get a good amount of food without brunch feeling unnecessarily expensive. And $24 for bottomless sparkling wine and juices in DC? I'll take it! Overall, CR NoMa delivered a wonderful Sunday brunch experience. Delicious food, attentive service, a beautiful space, good portions, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu!

For $45 per person, the all-you-can-eat experience feels like a really solid deal considering how many protein options and side dishes you get. They start you off with a variety of banchan (side dishes), including a salad with this super tasty dressing that had the perfect little spicy kick. For the BBQ, we kicked things off with the spicy bulgogi and butter garlic shrimp, while the others tried the pork belly (I don't eat pork). Later we ordered the steak, spicy brisket, and grilled squid, which were all delicious. The spicy brisket especially was a standout for me. The guys also ordered two rounds of fried dumplings that looked amazing, but since they contain pork, I had to sit those out. I'd love to see Chadol add a veggie dumpling option to the menu! As for the sides, the kimchi and cold glass noodles were both hits at our table, and of course we all added white rice. The "mashed potatoes" though? Definitely more like potato salad and unfortunately very bland. On the other hand, the cheese corn costs extra but is 1000% worth adding. For drinks, the guys enjoyed the Woody Old Fashioned while I had a mezcal margarita-style cocktail that was smoky and refreshing. We also ordered one of the chicken options but never received it and eventually just gave up on it. One of the coolest parts of the experience is the ordering system. Most meats are ordered directly from a machine at your table, and the food comes out quickly on this conveyor belt-style setup which was honestly so fun. Drinks and side dishes are ordered through the servers. The atmosphere was lively and energetic without feeling overwhelming. The restaurant is actually much larger inside than I expected, with a modern setup that works well for smaller groups. That said, I didn't really notice tables for larger parties, so I'm not sure how they accommodate groups bigger than 6 people. Service started off a little rough because our server wasn't very attentive, but after I called it out, he definitely stepped it up and things improved. Overall, Chadol was a really good experience and absolutely worth the price. The 1.5-hour seating limit makes sense too, both to keep things moving and give others a chance to enjoy the experience. I'd definitely go back!

    The Alchemist is exactly the kind of cocktail bar I love discovering in DC because they understand…read morethat a great cocktail experience is about more than putting something pretty in a glass. There's smoke, fire, color transformations, unexpected vessels, house infusions, and plenty of moments that make you stop and ask, "Wait...what are they about to do?" The concept carries throughout the entire menu but what impressed me most is that the presentation didn't feel like a replacement for the actual cocktails. The flavors still showed up! I tried a few drinks and each gave me a completely different experience. The Banana Bread Rum Old Fashioned was probably my biggest surprise. I don't usually gravitate toward Old Fashioneds because they can be a little spirit-forward for my taste, but the banana, coconut, and walnut notes made this one incredibly approachable. It genuinely reminded me of banana bread while still drinking like a cocktail. Killer Sally was another standout... Gin and I have a complicated relationship, so I wasn't expecting this to be one of my favorites. The lavender, lemon, and rhubarb balanced the gin beautifully, and the flaming garnish was a perfect show! Give Me Butterflies was playful, bright, and citrusy... another gin cocktail I surprisingly enjoyed. It's made with house-infused butterfly pea gin and lemon. Served in a beaker with a beautiful color-changing element. It The atmosphere was intimate, dark, and perfect for the concept, and sitting there watching cocktails smoke, glow, change color, and catch fire makes the bar genuinely fun to experience. If you love creative cocktails but still care about what's happening inside the glass, The Alchemist is absolutely worth adding to your DC cocktail list. I already know I'll be back because there are way too many things on that menu I still need to try.

    We visited The Alchemist in DC and ordered the Banana Bread Rum Old Fashioned and a Fireplace…read morethemed cocktail with chocolate and cherry notes. Both were disappointing. The drinks tasted watered down and unbalanced. The banana flavor in mine was dull and overripe rather than fresh and vibrant. The smoke and fire presentation was nice, but the actual cocktails did not justify the $25 price point. The restroom was unacceptable. There was urine on the floor, a strong foul odor, and the surface was slippery. For a speakeasy positioning itself as upscale, this was a major miss. The space is very small and service was just okay. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution did not meet expectations. I will not be returning.

Chef James personally brought out so many amazing things for me and my best friend to try out. Definitely a memorable experience we will be back. Those chicken wings were phenomenal.

    I've been eyeing this bar for several weeks now, and the other day, I finally decided it was time…read moreto give them a try. I know reservations are probably highly recommended, but we were fortunate to walk in at just the right moment and snag a seat. The seating is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. The atmosphere is just my style, an elegant, dark, grown and sexy vibe that really sets the mood. The decor is striking, with thoughtful touches that create an inviting space to unwind. While it leans a bit on the pricier side, the exceptional service more than justifies the cost. Jordan and the team were incredibly knowledgeable about both the drinks and food menu, offering suggestions that perfectly matched our tastes. We tried two standout drinks that I can't recommend enough: the Attractive Nuisance and El Tiburon, (which is an Old Fashioned made with gin). The bartenders here clearly know what they're doing, each drink was crafted with care and precision. The good music in the background added to the overall ambiance, making it a delightful spot to spend an evening.
