    First, I'd love to shoutout the owner Kelly for being an amazing visionary! This place is so unique and cozy and thoughtfulness of the design details speaks to the heart of the owner. Staff: amazingly friendly and very hospitable! Thank you to everyone who worked the bar, prepared the food, seated guests, or even bus tables-the work came with a smile and that a rare restaurant find. Decor: allow me to elaborate on the decor because it's a time capsule adorned with vintage pieces. The booths, the bar, the dining area-AH! I love it! But, let's acknowledge the restrooms...honey! One restroom is dedicated to THE Queen Bey and get this, when you open the doors, you'll immediately hear a Bey classic playing on the speakers inside. And if that wasn't enough to make you fangirl, I went over to the other restroom and the material girl herself, Madonna, can be heard in the speakers and seen on the wall decor. Both restrooms have so much personality! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Drinks: baby these bartenders didn't come to play! They are mixologist and take their craft seriously. Let's acknowledge that I originally had a reposado tequila cocktail with pineapple juice (not pictured) and it was DELICIOUS! But the star up to contend against the rest is their espresso martini...ooowee this drink didn't come to play around and I'd love to see it go up against some of the others in the District because I can see it coming out on top...it's just that good! Signed: a dedicated espresso martini drinker! Pictured but not sampled: Kelly was playing around with a few drinks and the Betty White Cosmo was a golden girl approach to a cute evening! Ask for it! Food: I ordered their wings fried hard with a side of ranch and BBQ sauce. These wings were seasoned to perfection and fried perfectly! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (pauses as my mouth waters again) they were delectable to the bone! Is this place good for groups? ABSOLUTELY! Grab the crew and visit their happy hour which ends at 7pm. Is there parking nearby? Parking is tight but you wouldn't want to drive here anyway because the drinks are worth having a few-take a cab! Would I return? Honey, I'm planning a return as I type! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For reaffirming that I am HER!

    Cute milkshake!

    Thank you David, for great service! Food was very good, atmosphere is very cute, and had a really great time out! Try the milkshake!

    Perfect location and well needed for the area. DC didn't have a queer restraunt open before they opened. We came on "NYE Eve" and it was absolutely packed. (Love that for them). The one turn off I would say is, when we walked up and asked for a table of 2, we were met with "we don't have seating for 2 but you can sit at the bar". Thankfully there were 2 spots open (and no more). So we sat there. The hostesss was within ear shot and we continued to hear that throughout our dining experience. They apparently don't have a wait list or didn't offer it to anyone which would be a huge recommendation. The bartender was nice and the drinks were strong. They did not have top shelf liquor which made it hard to order. For example, their vodka options were stoli and sobieski and whisky options was Jim Beam and not sure the others. As for the food, they have a decent variety. We went with the chicken tendies and chicken quesadilla. Quesadilla you can't make wrong and was good. The tendies had good breading but desperately needed salt. Overall a good place to meet up with Friends.

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.

Happy hour (3-7) offers beers ranging $1-3, wine $4-6, $7 margs, and I think a few other drink specials, but those options were good enough for me and I went with the wine. Service was a little slow at first, but the one bartender working was friendly and cheerful and doing her best to keep up with everyone until another two eventually showed up or came back from break. Atmosphere was really chill. I liked the dim lighting, everyone was casual and relaxed with a dj setting up in the corner, some hip hop and classic 00s rap bumping, and a steady flow of young-ish friend groups coming in for cheap beer around 5pm. I tried not to evesdrop on the couple next to me at the bar arguing, but their fight sort of added to the entertainment and general vibe. On the other side of me was an adorable couple unsuspectedly ordering fruity drinks and laughing. Totally will be back whenever the end of my work day brings me to this area.

    Great spot to watch World Cup games if you've been looking around for options!…read more The space is fairly massive with plenty of screens, so even for popular games you'll likely be able to find a space to perch. I was concerned that for a highly anticipated match it might just be standing room only. But even with a 9pm start and a 9:30pm arrival, my friend and I both were able to find some seats. The bartenders were attentive while appearing to be laid back and kind. Even the food people ordered looked pretty good as well! If there is a good game on with highs and lows, the energy of the crowd really matches the energy of the game. Since there is so much space, those celebratory moments just feel joyful instead of overwhelming. Overall, nice lil vibe and I wouldn't hesitate to return!

Today for the Norway / England quarter finals game the line was wrapped around the building over an hour before the game. We were in line at 3:45pm. It said on their flyer they would begin letting people in to watch the game at 4pm (game started at 5pm). I've been to Franklin hall before I know how big it is and it's even bigger if they open up the second space. I didn't think we would have any problem getting in. 4:45pm comes around and we start hearing from other people that they're at capacity. My husband went up and they were giving very unclear answers. Apparently they had a party for the embassy of Norway, I'm not sure how much space that was taking. I think they could've announced to the long line that had been waiting over an hour that they were at capacity. It ended up being a rush to find alternative bars to watch the game. Totally understand it gets busy, but wish there was better communication to the fans outdoors.

The customer service is attentive and friendly. The wings and Walkers Smash Burger were a disappointment in the flavor department. The burger was bland and the wings did not have good texture. I like that Walters has adequate and ample booth seating. There is indoor and outdoor seating options, with plenty of big screen televisions throughout the restaurant. On big game nights, you can see the game on multiple screens and from various vantages. The bar is centrally located and seemingly accommodating for the size of the venue. The one downside of this experience is the mens restroom was downright filthy. Apparently there was an overflow or clogged urinal which spilled all over the floor and created an unsanitary situation. Overall, a good experience and viable option that is closer to South Capitol Street and not deep in the heart of Navy Yard.

The bathrooms were not the cleanest, but the restaurant itself was well maintained. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. I ordered the American burger, and the beef tasted a bit off. The patty was not fully smashed and tasted overcooked. It was also dry, I had to dip every bite in ketchup. The sauce inside was bland, and overall, the burger lacked flavor and texture. The side salad, however, was fantastic! The arugula was fresh and generously portioned, and the dressing was delicious. But I didn't order a burger just to enjoy the side salad more than the main dish. With such a small menu and burgers making up a significant portion of it, this was a bit disappointing. The service and atmosphere were great, but the burger itself really missed the mark for me.
