    Listen... I only come for the food!! I don't care what you order I've tried it all and it's fire! I mean you don't have to ask for anything the kitchen crew has you covered!!! I had to ask who is the mastermind in the kitchen and my hat goes off to my man Mike In the Kitchen!! Crab Cake it alllllll lump, wings and fries fries to perfection, burgers are made from SCRATCH and served on a buttery toasted bun!! The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was the turkey burger!! The lady owner has a bad attitude but usually stays off to the side so try to stand clear of her and you will have a fab night!

My husband and I were looking for a spot to…read morewatch the US v Australia game and our original pick was too packed, thankfully we found this spot on Yelp. We arrived about an hour before the game. We loved that it was still empty so we could get prime seating. The server who welcomed us was so friendly and kind. 5 stars to him! We were there during happy hour and ordered quite a few Mango Cart beers we enjoyed. Another friend joined us right before the game and we all enjoyed our food. I liked my shrimp taco and carne asada taco. My husband really liked his al pastor quesadilla. Our friend thought her steak bowl was fine. The chips we ordered at some point were decent too. The food came out really quickly at first. The server mentioned that it was part of a pop-up kitchen. The vibe of the place is a bit like an underground bar, but great for catching a World Cup game. They turned up the volume for the match and it thankfully wasn't too overcrowded.

We sat at the bar near the back and were immediately greeted. The bartenders were super kind and quick. They chatted with us, but didn't linger. It was a great mix. They also ensured our drinks, including our water, were always full. They also brought out some snacks (on the house) for us. Music was on, but not too loud. We stayed for awhile, and pretty soon we looked up and were like, oh my gosh, this place is packed! Pretty soon there were people everywhere and it was so loud. We decided at that point we wanted to head out, but the bartenders still made sure to say goodbye. We will definitely be back when we are back in DC. Great vibes, atmosphere, and service!

This was ON A TUESDAY (and that's relevant because I'm over 30 and it was a work-night lol). It wasn't necessarily my scene, but it may be yours, so I'll drop the bullet points so you can decide for yourself. -Small establishment with street parking (The outside is honestly a bit sketchy-looking.) -The crowd was mostly locals that really just wanted to have a good time. Many were dancing--which I always want when I go out. And the club started to fill up around midnight. It actually packed out!--Yes on a Tuesday! -The DJ played mostly hip hop & rap. -I didn't personally try the food, but friends thought the tacos (beef or chicken) were good except that the tortillas were falling apart. -There was a full bar & nice bartenders, but the drinks were strong--but NOT tasty. -Bottle girls? Um... -Single bathrooms that were clean -The turn-up? Real. --Oh and it was hella smoky. My throat was on fire when I left and the smell was all in my clothes and hair. I think that about covers everything. Happy hunting!

So, let's start with food. Once we were seated and greeted by Sara, we sat around and talked for a bit before deciding what we wanted. The drink menu is wild so I opted for a beer. After all, it is a brewery! I opted for an IPA, my friend also ordered a beer (Dark & Stormy, a dark beer), and the other ordered a drink. Although my beer was 11%, it wasn't bitter and tasted juicy! It was good. I got the fish & chips w/coleslaw, one friend ordered onion rings and the other ordered salmon. Those onion rings were banging! and the coleslaw was pretty good too. Who doesn't love some fish & chips. Sometimes you just want something crispy! Overall, the food was decent. But let's talk about the general store-----------WOW! It's stocked with EVERYTHING!! Mugs, puzzles, seasonings, socks, leggo's, books, anything you can imagine. It's wild! Then......they also have liquor and beer. I'm talking craft beer, good wine, etc. Oh, and let's throw in an ice cream shop. Yes, an ice cream shop. They have everything! Check it out for yourself!

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.

The actual restaurant/bar drinks and bathrooms is the issue needs to definitely be updated. So back to the good part of the review: the food. Now I love me some Birria tacos and usually they are the size of a small corn tortilla...but not these! When she brought me out these ginormous (3) tacos I couldn't believe my eyes! They were the size of my open hand past my wrist! Now my pictures don't do them any justice because it took me 2-3 days to finish them and the side of Mexican rice which was also so big! So be aware that you will have food to take home for lunch or to eat later as I'm a grazer myself...lol. Now the margaritas were not good at all and tasted premade which for an authentic Mexican a spot as this seems to be should be a no-no! I did like the salsa that tasted homemade and asked if I could take a side of it home! As usual I love finding a diamond in the rough and this is definitely it!

I really love the ambience of the restaurant where you have seating for both the bar (where you can enjoy music and pool) as well as the restaurant side where you can sit and dine or wait for a pick up order. The staff is great! I really enjoy the main hostess as they are very hospitable and accommodating. This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency! I will say that my only issue is that the bar does not have enough options for various types of drinks - were so being able to modify classic cocktails I definitely will be back and have been back to order carry out however eating and it's my preference.

We arrived to a line out the door on a Friday night but we only waited around 25 minutes for a table. The seating inside is plentiful and the atmosphere is loud but cozy and fun - family friendly and enjoyable. We enjoyed the most amazing food - Fontina Vodka Penne (with Shrimp), Kale & Romaine Caesar Salad, Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar Burger, 20oz Bone-in Ribeye. The steak and burger were cooked to perfection, the sauces were outstanding and the Caesar salad was by far the best out of all of this listed. The bar selection and beer selection were amazing - the menu clearly highlights the types of beer into each category which helps make a decision much faster. The Cider on tap was so good. The service was good- they were very busy so refills and checking in on us took a bit longer, but it was understandable and we didn't have any issues at all. Our server gave the best recommendations for top sellers and her favorites which is nice being from out of town!

The wait wasn't too bad considering how packed it was. We waited about 20ish minutes. The server was nice and very attentive. The bathrooms were located about like 3 flights of stairs up, which wasn't an issue for me but maybe for others, however they do have an elevator. I ordered the 4 cheese spinach dip which the dip itself was good however, there was a little too much parmesan on top of the chips which made them taste dry. I also got the carne asada tacos, the flavor was good but the meat was tough to chew. Every bite felt like a workout for my jaw.
