However, if you drive here, you can find free street parking in the evenings, on the side streets. We started out with an order of Frickles, then I had a hand-tossed 10 inch garden pizza, subbing out the mushrooms. My friends shared a larger pizza, and we all went home with leftovers. They also serve NA "Athletic" Brews if you're not feeling beer. It was a Saturday night with a good crowd, but it didn't take long for our food to arrive, and the service was great. I didn't realize Barack Obama dined here until reading the Yelp reviews, but that's pretty cool. I love that he has a pizza named after him, and I love how all the pizzas on the menu have fun names with personality. If you're in the Del Ray area of Alexandria and want pizza, salad, or a calzone, this is a great option.

They have a solid happy hour, and I've also been for trivia night and music bingo, which are always a fun time. Most recently, we stopped by to watch one of the basketball playoff games. We ordered the grilled cheese, fried shrimp, and the crab nachos to share. It's not trying to be fine dining, but for a sports bar, the food definitely hits the spot - especially with a few drinks. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the friendly bartenders and laid-back atmosphere. It's a reliable local staple, and I'm sure I'll be back again.

As a HUGE Bears fan, this was truly a treat for me and I appreciated everything from the decor to the menu. Chicago dogs? Italian beef? MY HEART! This is the perfect dive bar to catch a game and I absolutely love the environment. As a Chicago(land) native, Ivy and Coney hits home in all the right ways. Tucked away in the Shaw neighborhood, this unassuming spot is a Midwest haven in the heart of DC. Let's start with the food: the Detroit-style pizza is phenomenal. Crispy edges, generous portions (you get 8 slices!), and packed with flavor. Perfect to share! Other notable mentions included the cheese curds, smash burger, or legit Chicago-style dogs. The space itself is exactly what a dive bar should be: cozy, casual, a little rowdy when it needs to be, and full of character. The back bar with the retractable roof is a hidden gem for game days. When I visited it was a beautiful evening and having the roof retracted added a special touch! And the staff? Peak Midwest nice (IYKYK). Friendly, quick, and genuinely happy to see you. Catch me here on Mondays, Thursdays, or Sundays (i.e., whenever my team is on the screen!). Whether you're here for sports, snacks, or just the atmosphere, Ivy and Coney delivers every time. It's my new go-to spot for a slice of home, and if you're from the Midwest (or just love great food and chill vibes), it should be yours too.

First, the hostess acted like we were an intrusion into her evening, didn't welcome us or make eye contact. She sat us at a booth, which didn't work, so she did seat us at a table. I asked for a vegetarian menu, knowing there was one, but she walked off, did not return. Our waiter was a young man, spoke very softly; we both had a difficult time hearing him. My wife ordered her drink; I asked for a few more minutes. That drink did not appear until half my meal was over, which I did not appreciate. And I had to ask 3 times to get the drink, including asking another waiter. We ordered salad and main dish; my vegetarian menu finally appeared. It just seemed both the hostess and our waiter did not care to attend to us. I do not know if we will be returning; and to top this all off, both the hostess and waiter called us 'Guys'. When two older women are sitting at the same table, we are ladies, or simply nice to see you two tonight. Please tell your wait staff to get this right. We like Bungalow Lakehouse, it is close to home, and the atmosphere is comfortable.

They have a bunch of flavors available: we settled on the buffalo and dry lemon pepper wings. We supplemented that with a vodka soda (we're walking). The ambiance was electric with music playing in the background and folks arriving and descending upstairs, where the real action is. The wings arrived and they were cooked perfectly: hot, crispy, fresh, with the right amount of seasonings. So glad we decided to drop in. Note: This is an LGBTQ friendly environment. After enjoying the wings, we decided to take a peek upstairs as the constant traffic going up there intrigued us. As we made our way in this space, there was a large dance floor with bar table and chairs around the perimeter and a bar at the front. There was also an outdoor area where you could overlook the street and enjoy your drink or food. The music was full blast and enjoyable to listen to. All in all, go for the wings you won't be disappointed, but stay for the vibes if that's your thing. I will be back for those wings AND that vibe!

The music was upbeat, the crowd was diverse and expressive, and everyone just seemed genuinely happy to be there. I met some amazing people and had those spontaneous conversations that make a trip unforgettable. It's lively without feeling overwhelming; just celebration, laughter, and good vibes flowing through the room. If you're in DC and want a space that feels inclusive, energetic, and unapologetically fun, Nellie's delivers. Two different vibes in one night; both beautiful in their own way.

I had the Kale Quinoa Salad and one person had the burger and the other the vegi burger. The salad was tasty and the dressing (which I got in the side) had a good flavor. I was told the burger and the vegi burgers both were "alright", but the fries were very good. The service was not very good. We sat for a long time before being served and then no one came around or even looked over (although severs walked down the aisle several times during our meal), so our water glasses were empty and it was difficult to get someone's attention for the check. It was fine, but not impressive. Maybe it was because of the lack of attention, but we didn't feel rushed during or after our meal.
