This place is awesome. We placed an large group of individual orders and this place did not miss a beat. All of the orders were correct and made on time. I was very impressed because we had about 10 single orders. I will admit, parking here is a nightmare. There is very limited street parking available. I ended up making a spot out front, running in and getting my food and going. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. There is a large dining area and a semi enclosed patio area out front of the restaurant. Be aware that the patio's enclosure partially obstructs the front of the restaurant and makes it hard to see from the street. I made my order online and it was very simple. I order a small pretzel, a schnitzel sandwich with fries and a side of potato salad. Everyone in my group really enjoyed their food. One even said that it was some of the best that they ever had. My food was excellant. The pretzel was perfect. The schnitzel sandwich was huge. It dwarfed the bun. It was very tasty. The fries and potato salad were also good. I really enjoyed my meal and would highly recommend every part of my meal. This place was great. There were no complaints from any of them. I highly recommend this place for those looking to get some German fare. You will not be disappointed.
Great service with indoor and outdoor seating options. A group of us went for happy hour. We were going to stay outside but after a few minutes, the mosquitoes were buzzing around. We went inside and it was much better! They open at 4. We arrived shortly after and it was already filling up. Love the convenience of splitting checks with a large group - can see the entire tab via the QR code on the table and pay that way. Plenty of beer selections. I'm not a beer person so I tried the "Alsace Spritz" cocktail - I liked it! A few in the group got the beer flights and seemed pleased with it! The pretzel bites were a hit! If you love German beer, add this place to your list!
Delicious food, awesome beer, great service, lively crowd, nice setting, everything you need. They have outdoor and indoor seating. A good beer menu. Typical German fare. It was everything it out to be.
I'm not generally into German food but I really enjoyed the pretzel. Their beer cheese is awesome. I also got asparagus and brussel sprouts, an appetizer. My friend loved the chicken schnitzel and it was HUGE! My other friend who got spaezel said she wished it had more of a cheese flavor but that it was still good with the short rib. Drink-wise it's definitely more of a beer place but they had hot wine and cider too for fall! We sat inside but the outdoor seating looked great. Inside its long tables and benches, casual atmosphere. Splitting the bill and paying online was a breeze with the pay app!
Great local bar in the middle of DC serving up delicious food and even better beer. We happened into Prost on two occasions in two days., for happy hour and brunch. Happy hour was perfect, pint deals, lively atmosphere s must. For brunch we came in on Sunday, sat outside and received exceptional service. The blood orange mimosa was delicious. I also had the Benedict, perfectly poached eggs with a potato cake, my opinion it could have been crispier best part the lemon mustard vinaigrette...literally could have drank it with a straw.
We stopped for a little German food and maybe a good beer. I tried the bratwurst and the October fest. The beer was Great. Not so much for the bratwurst. Unfortunately the bratwurst was kinda on the bland side unless you used the mustard. The mustard made it OK... the fries were good. Service was good, nice to be able to enjoy the outdoor dinning all an all I had a good time. As I said Great Beer...
Nice spot, we sat outside on the patio. The food was yummy. The food service was quick. We were able to pay using a QR code on the table, which was very convenient. Got the deviled eggs, which were super light and delicious. I got the small pretzel as well which was good too. They offer non-alcoholic beer options. I got the Weihenstephaner.
the restaurant is decorated well and I love their outdoor seat section! Service is fast and they have a good selection of beer. I personally really enjoyed the pretzel with beer cheese! The food is definitely on the pricier side though.
Stopped in here for brunch on a Sunday and it was easy to get a spot, as it was busy but no wait. We split the large pretzel, the Deutsche baby with schnitzel, the schnitzel sandwich, and the hash. The service was super quick and friendly. There are multiple tvs, and it's a cool bar vibe. If we were in the area again we would be back for the massive beer flight!
Beer is so damn good here. I was confounded the whole day until I read on wiki that Germany (Bavaria) literally has a beer purity law from 1500's, Reinheitsgebot, that only allows three ingredients in German beer - water, malts, and hops. Go figure! The Pilsner quality is unmatched to any American Pils and you can definitely tell the difference. Food is good too, considering it's mostly bar food, but still has Bavarian foundation. We got a burger on a pretzel bun, delicious, and the short rib spaetzle which was lovely and paired brilliant with the beer. The pretzel is a must get, it comes out piping hot, deliciously crispy, and paired with mustard dipping and cheese dipping. Again, DELICIOUS WITH THE BEER! I tried two different pilsners and a kolsch and they were all wonderful. German and their beers, doesn't get better than that. TLDR; totally recommended this bar. Great beer
We stopped here for early dinner. We got a bratwurst with sauerkraut on a pretzel bun. They added some fries too. I was surprised the brat was kind of bland I thought being a German Restaurant would be different. The service was great and the atmosphere was Oktoberfest like. We sat outside and was fun watching the people walk by with their dogs. My husband also got a huge beer. He enjoyed that
I do love a good German spot, and especially appreciated having this place so near to my hotel. Wound up visiting several times during my trip. It is already in a part of town with tons of other eateries and bars, so convenient enough to walk over should you be in the area, as there is little to no parking right at hand. You can sit either inside, or in some of their lovely outdoor booths. And the ambiance here, especially in the evenings, is very lively and fun, definitely a fantastic spot to enjoy a couple pints and some hearty food. The beer selection is excellent, with maybe a dozen or so different imports. Can't choose which beer you want? Well they do a mondo big flight to help you decide. Kinda sorry I didn't spring for it, actually. They also have a full bar, with wine and cocktails, but I definitely had to get some of their house-made hot spiced wine, as it has that autumn-y vibe. The food here is quite good indeed. The schnitzel sandwich with the side of spaetzle really hit the spot. And on a following visit, I sprung for the Leberkäse (pork and veal) Sliders, along with a bowl of their tasty Goulash. Everything was delicious, and the prices were pretty darn decent for both the food and drinks. And the service here was outstanding, especially from Shannon, who was really cranking out those orders behind the bar. Top marks all around for the staff. So yeah, all in all I enjoyed Prost a great deal. Definitely would recommend it for anyone looking for a more casual sort of hangout in this part of DC.
Really cool German beer place. Started with the Prost platter which is great if u want to try a variety of German food. The beer pours are large. Even the smaller size is still a good amount. Loved the Schnitzel sandwich and also tried the Wurst. Lots of seats both indoor and outdoor. I think this would be a great day drinking spot in the summer!

This is a great place for some German beers and food! The atmosphere is super laid back, with some small tables and lots of large tables. There's tons of German beer hall decorations and merch. The tables had QR codes that let you see the menu and split the bill, but you still need to order with a server. The servers were attentive and friendly. The menu isn't huge but features lots of German beers. My friend was so excited to see Andechs on tap, so if you're a German beer fan you'll likely be pleased with the selection! I loved the food options and found them to be pretty authentic and also not too expensive. I loved the pretzel buns and the fries. I thought it was a really great option for a cold winter night, but I bet coming here on a warm spring day and sitting outside would be fantastic. read more
We were looking for a last-minute dinner spot that was reasonably priced with heated outdoor seating and good food, and Prost fit the bill! They were able to seat us immediately. They have all the typical German foods along with a good dose of beer. I ordered the sampler because I was really interested in a good pretzel along with cheese, sausage, and other classic fixings like sauerkraut and cabbage. It was delicious, warm, and filling! The mint hot cocoa was the perfect choice too. You can make it alcoholic as well, but I did not. Our waitress was great too! read more

Loud but good beer hall vibe! Easy to order and pay as well. It's loud inside so not the best for conversation but they were playing football and a lot of people were watching on the tv Fernet hot chocolate - taste like a nice well balanced hot chocolate!! The mint and I think alcohol lightens the heaviness of hot chocolate and actually enhances it. Whip cream is thick 3.5/5 read more

We went for a Sofar brunch concert and it was so fun! They closed the restaurant down for concert attendees only so the experience was a little different. We had a great time at the concert and trying things from the menu. I was very impressed that there was a non alcoholic radler on the menu. It tasted really good and I enjoyed their puffy oven pancake called the Deutsch baby. I got the sweet version with berries topped on it. It was good but also tasted a little plain. I think it tasted very fluffy which was a plus. Overall the place was not huge but had an upscale grungy vibe. It felt like an elevated version of a dive bar. I think I'd go back and try their lunch/dinner options read more

Wonderful large patio, really nice friendly open atmosphere. Servers were super nice. Great beer selection. A friend ordered the pretzel and it looked good, and looked fresh. Great spot to linger over beer... two thumbs up. read more
This is a solid neighborhood bar or place to go for a happy hour after work! The beer selection is nice and it feels very much like a pub. I've ordered a burger here before and it was solid - your standard food for a pub. It's definitely not the main feature here. There's nice outdoor seating space that gets packed very quickly soon after working hours and the inside can also feel very hectic. When it is packed, it can be very hard to hear the people at your table, which is a bit frustrating. But when it's calmer, the vibes here are excellent. The wait staff get a 5/5 - even when it is packed, they are able to get our orders and serve us quickly. read more

Wasn't expecting much from this place but I really enjoyed my time here, aside from other customers that would randomly yell loudly and hurt my ears! Definitely loud during peak hours but cozy when it's off. Some things look a little messy here but I expected that. Was seated immediately for happy hour and got a full glass of the Oktoberfest beer that was half off for happy hour, which I could not finish but cheap in my opinion. Got the pretzel bites that came with tasty sauces that helped, but I needed more food! So I got the short rib spaetzle which was very tasty actually! It was good to eat while downing a huge beer. There was only really one guy around the place that was doing the orders and checks, so it was a little hard to wave him down. Reasonable prices, good beer, and good food! Check it out if you're in the area, like beer, and like happy hours! read more
I'm feeling generous today & going with 4 stars on the round up from 3.5. The decision to go up instead of down is based on the drink offerings of authentic German brews, wines & creative cocktails / the food offerings being varied and, again, German based / the service being on point from start to finish & the server's interactions & pleasant attitude while we pondered / location. I can say there were a lot of locals in for after work drinks and apps, probably more focused on that then the actual meals. I'm a schnitzel gal & broke that tradition to try the short rib spatzle. The short rib was perfect, while the spatzle a bit stiff & it was overall too cold before it hit the table. I tried the sauerbraten my hubs ordered and found it too dry for me. It's a lean cut and I always find it dry tho, so no surprise I'd pass on it. The sliders were tasty. The beer & cocktails great. We finished off with an apple cake dessert that was really good. I'd definitely go back, particularly for happy hour drinks & pretzels, maybe the sliders. I'd possibly try the schnitzel if I were dining - but I'd skip both mains we ordered this time. Bonus: it was within walking distance of our hotel, museums and memorials. read more
Great setting for outdoor dining, and this is clearly a popular establishment. Service was also friendly and given how busy it was, they did a good job stopping by periodically to check on us. That said, there were serious communications issues between people taking the orders and those delivering the food. Multiple times we had 30 min waits where we would order drinks and then see our waiter 1-2 more times reminding him of our orders before we ever saw the drinks. Again, service was friendly, drinks were not bad, but they need to sort out their comms issues. Maybe just have the people taking order deliver the food instead of having 1 person taking orders and 2-3 runners... I don't know, maybe just caught them on a bad night. As for the food, it was solid. Really enjoyed the pretzels and pretzel bites. Sliders were not bad, and we went through a bunch of fries too. I would definitely come back. Prices were a little high, but more or less normal for the area. Hopefully I catch them on a better night next time and can up this to 4 or 5 stars :) Also, worth pointing out that they are dog friendly! read more
Drinks were cold and refreshing. Service was quick and attentive. Ambience is European and not like other bars- it gave pub feels. The outside seating is very convenient for a nice day. The inside seating at the bar was convenient for when they were busy. read more

Service was fast and incredibly friendly, but the food left a lot to be desired. I started my meal with a small pretzel which was fresh and delicious. I especially like that they give the option of both mustard and a cheese dipping sauce so you have the option to try both. However, the entrée was not good. The bratwurst was seasonless, and the pretzel bun was toasted so hard that it was almost inedible. The size (and hardness) of the pretzel bun made it challenging to have a complete bite with the bratwurst and sauerkraut. The fries were tasty. This seems like a great location to go with friends, listen to music, and hang out over shared fries or pretzels, but I would not go back solely for an entrée. read more

This place is worth four stars but I found a piece of wire in my food, so I deducted one star. Metallic toppings aside, Prost has a strong, if not necessarily varied, brunch selection. We ordered the wurst (comes with fries, $13) and the Prost Benedict (with salad, $14 I think). Both were tasty and filling. The wurst was a little awkward to eat, as the bun was very wide. But the flavor was excellent and the kraut topping paired well. It also comes with three sauces: ketchup and a green and a white one, the names of which I unfortunately do not know. Regardless, you should slather it onto the wurst or just dip your fries in it! I hope to be back soon! Next time I will probably try their warm pretzels. read more

Alles gute at this German pub! Whether you're coming for their pretzels or wide selection of beer, you will have a good time! Prost is one of my favorite bars in DC. The atmosphere is great! Both interior and exterior are decorated in Bavarian blue and gold banners which, with the wooden tables and cozy design, make this a really fun spot. They have a lot of really great beers on tap too! And if you're going here you have to get a pretzel--they are baked to order! The food is good. She got the schnitzel sandwich and I got schnitzel platter. My recommendation is to get potato salad over french fries. The potato salad was delicious whereas the fries were a little bland and insufficiently fried. The schnitzel itself was tasty but I would not call it a schnitzel - it was really just fried chicken breast. Schnitzel is supposed to be pounded until thin (that's the whole point of it being a schnitzel), and this was not thin at all. Although it wasn't really a schnitzel, it was still tasty. I will definitely come back, but would not get the schnitzel. The sausage looked delicious! read more
