What a find! My friend and I were looking for an authentic local DC experience and the Queen Vic delivered. The atmosphere was great. Wait staff was wonderful. Most importantly the food was amazing. We had the stroganoff and traditional fish n chips. Meat was tender the noodles perfectly prepared. The fish was fresh and one big piece and the fries were great. Overall a 10 out of 10 local pub experience. They are also supporters of the LGBT+ community! read more

Have lived in DC 1.5 years and just found the official Liverpool supporters bar. Went to watch my first match at the bar over the Halloween weekend and it was great. The atmosphere was electric and bartenders were friendly. I ordered some fries a a few beers and enjoyed the match. Can't wait to go back! read more

We found this place had trivia on a Sunday night. Easy enough to find parking. Trivia is upstairs in this cool pub. My partner got wings which were generously sized. I got the pierogi. The server was really nice and the cook who brought out the food was great. Everything arrived hot. It's a cool vibe with just enough space to have a great trivia night. We will be back! Thanks for a great first visit to the Queen Vic. read more

While the downstairs was a bittoo loud for us, we were pleased to find the upstairs noise level much more acceptable. I had the burger with pork belly and chips. The chips (fries) were fantastic in flavor & texture. I really also enjoyed my burger (one meat patty was much more than enough for me too). My cocktail was ok - but I think it was a "live and learn" experience for me, nothing at fault from the restaurant or bartender. read more

This is the best British pub food I've had in the states. The two-story bar is loads of fun with classic "homely" bartenders, TV's, darts, great English beers on tap, and an enclosed patio/deck space upstairs. If you're a soccer fan, this is THE place to be to watch a game. read more

I ordered the pierogis and poutine on uber eats and there was a bit of a wait but the food was solid. It was my first time eating pierogis but it was flavorful. The poutine was good, maybe a little salty, but it did the job. I wish it was a bit cheaper (a little over $30 for the two items as appetizers) but overall a solid food option from a bar. read more

The Queen Vic is that spot that I never get to enough now that I live on the other side of town. So unpretentious and a pleasant spot where you can feel like a regular with comfort British food and I love that they have a clearly labeled option if you are vegetarian or vegan. They did mistakenly give my friend a beef and mushroom pie instead of what she ordered, but were quick to fix it. The staff knew the menu well and were kind to walk us through the different options of what we were looking for. Thank you for not trying to sell us those $5 shows of an aperitif, it was a little too early in the day for us to be drinking something so bitter. Know that if you come here during certain football match days, the second floor will feel like you are falling and you will absolutely hear it from the first floor. That is part of the charm of coming here and being part of the experience. read more

Originally went here to satiate my english man fetish in what I believe is the only genuine attempt of an english pub in the entire dc downtown. The place gave the perfect piratey speakeasy feel, (the entire atmosphere and greenish hue is best encapsulated by this movie poster for Pirates of the Caribbean 4, or The Northman if you're looking at staff) but the returns started becoming less about pretending to be at hogwarts and more about the incomparable Andrew. The cook/owner (unclear) is equally not bad on the eyes, which was a great change of pace for NE/H St. I can't say I would ever go there for the food; I go there for the dream. English dishes/cuisine to be fair is apparently SUPPOSED to be a lot like prison food or stranded on an island, I only ordered a milk-steamed sesame sauce broth of perhaps chicken once and it was only bad because the English concept itself was bizarre. Rest of the menu looked a lot better, but rest assured the ambience, entire staff, and quirky dj/projector screen choices more than make up for. I've gone there 20-30 consecutive times refusing to drink anywhere else and pretty sure they think I got whacked because I moved cities without telling anyone and vanished without a trace.

Love the fish 'and chips. Going back for an English Breakast, regardless of time of day.

When we arrived around 6pm on a Friday, the ground-floor bar area was mostly full and music a bit loud, but upstairs was more amenable to conversation and we had our pick of tables. Wait staff was very attentive. I had tried a Jameson shandy and she had a Cardiff Bluebird drink - both generously cheery and flavorful. I didn't notice the specials blackboard until I'd already ordered, but as a first-timer I had to try the bestselling fish+chips anyway. The savory pies are also very reputable. A+, hope to return again soon to try the tikka masala or a special. read more

Queen Vic is always a vibe, great place to catch a game and grab a beer. In spite of some occasional surly service (part of the charm) the true star of the show is their extensive pub fare menu. Comfort food UK style, it's an amazing place to grab a full English or a Sunday roast. read more

The Queen Vic is a charming and personable British style pub in the heart of the H street corridor. They're fairly well known for serving traditional English bites and bringing the Across the Pond essence. I came here on a Saturday afternoon around 5pm - there was a healthy crowd but the spot was by no means crowded. They have a long bar down the length of the pub that seats about 15 as well as four top tables and booths around the exterior of the spot. The vibe seems warm, cozy, and friendly - a great spot to stop in for a quick drinks, some socialization, and a bite to eat. We just stopped past for drinks and our expectations were met fully; we tried a basic rail ($9) and one of their offered whiskey cocktails ($12). Both were solid and of good quality for their prices. The bartender seemed to know a handful of folks at the bar - he was friendly and engaging with lots of the guests. If you're a fan of the classic pub vibe then this is a good option for you; fun atmosphere and solid bar fare. read more

Had the fish and chips and the sticky toffee pudding, and they were both great. I went on a Thursday at about 6:30 PM, sat upstairs, and was the only one there for probably about a half an hour. It was nice. Downstairs was busier, which is cool for them, but I wanted to have a little bit more relaxed environment, so I went upstairs. The bartender was awesome and helped me with the menu. Apparently they don't have the bone marrow anymore because people were too afraid to try it, lol, which is a bummer because I wanted to give it a shot! All in all, a great place for a bite to eat with a cool atmosphere. They had a pretty good assortment of NA beverages as well. read more

The Queen Vic is located on the H Street Corridor. It is a fun pub and event space. I like the royal theme. Check the web site for hours since they vary. The DC Street car runs by H Street. The area can be sketchy at night. Stay with your group and have a cross body bag. It can get crowded on weekends. The menu is typical British pub food. read more

I absolutely love the Queen Vic. Been coming here for years, back in the days of Trivia Night with Ryan and Joe (RIP) behind the bar. Came back tonight with longtime friends visiting "home" here in DC. Had the pork schnitzel special, which was delicious. Andrew the bartender was so personable and attentive. We really had a great night reminiscing. Thank you, Queen Vic and Andrew for a great night with friends. read more

The closest thing to a "proper" English pub in the DC area, I have been going to this place on and off for years. They have a decent beer selection including Old Speckled Hen, Boddingtons and Bombardier so its worth it for that, assuming you like English beer. Which of course, I do! The food is ok. It has been better a while ago. It used to be better but sometimes a bit of a let down. So consistency is not there. Might want to check the website before you go as when there is a football/soccer match, the place will be very loud and very packed. I had the ground beef pie which was not the worst but certainly not the best. Not the best beef, but the shocker was that the pie came on a bed of mashed potatoes that tasted like it was made from a packet. Why not fries/chips, as in pie and chips?? and no peas. sigh. I am from London where "Pie and Mash" is a working class traditional cheap meal. That is made with actual potatoes and a green "liquor" made from parsely. The pies are freshly made each day and are fantastic. This pie was a million miles from that with dubious meat. That was more of an (hopefully) accidental travesty that annoyed me. I hope things turn around. I'm crossing my fingers... read more

Nice full English breakfast, fantastic service. Great place for Brunch on the weekend or dinner.

This establishment has gotten worse over the years it's been open and in all descriptions states it's a traditional English style pub. The fact the bartender didn't know the difference between a larger and lime vs larger and bitters was quite surprising. Then they gave the excuse of only working at this establishment/pub for two years. I would once again suggest that they close their doors. Revamp with folks who are British to give it the flavor and authenticity it needs. Otherwise change the name and all descriptions about the establishment. If you're from the UK and looking for something to say is like home...this is not the place to come to. read more

My boyfriend and I came here a few weeks ago when we were on H Street on a cold and rainy Sunday and cozy'ed up in a two seater table by the window. The menu had a lot of things that sounded really good but we both ordered the Pork Schnitzel with mashed potatoes and braised pork belly kale. Now, this was my first time ever being here so, for it being a British pub, I wasn't expecting for the food to blow me away... But...O.M.G. The schnitzel was breaded and pounded perfectly thin and the gravy was SOOOO GOOD. The portion size of this dish is HUGE. The braised pork belly kale was also delicious. I've been dreaming of the gravy and kale since I finished my and my boyfriends leftovers over the next day (the server even gave me an extra cup of the gravy to go because I loved it so much) I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend getting this dish when you are at The Crown Vic. You will not be disappointed! read more

All the savory pies were bomb, super impressed. Usually they're greasy or the pie crust isn't there, but this place hit it out of the park on these. Last time had the beef and mushroom pie and I couldn't get enough. Fish and chips were eh. Beer selection was excellent. Staff vibes were also lovely. Music and scene was solid, very british and edgy in a cool way. read more

My neighborhood Facebook group (Hill East) is constantly raving about The Queen Vic so I decided I had to see what all the hype was about since I haven't been there in person yet. Everyone kept saying how amazing the fish and chips were so I had to give those a try, and also saw pork belly poutine on the menu, as well as got a goat cheese salad to freshen it up a bit. First off, my delivery came in a reusable grocery bag which was a super sweet sentiment, thanks! Can never have too many reusable bags! Second, HOLY GEES THOSE PORTIONS!! They were GINORMOUS! As expected, the fish and chips were incredible and I loved the mushy peas on the side. The pork belly poutine was delicious as well, though I was a tad disappointed that there were no solid cheese curds and it was only melted cheese (again, still yummy, just was expecting some actual curds). And boy am I glad I got the goat cheese salad to help brighten up the heaviness of the other meals, it was very refreshing! As you can imagine based on the portion sizes, I didn't have to cook for the entire weekend lol. I re-crisped everything up in the oven and it was still yummy throughout the weekend! I unfortunately missed the boat on ordering the batch cocktails as they weren't on the menu yet when I ordered but popped up a few days later - darn, will have to give that a shot again! Overall, great British pub food that will keep you satisfied for days! read more

Great variety of beers and cocktails, the food is delicious, specially on cold days, it's also a great place to get breakfast and brunch over the weekend while watching soccer games.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS PUB!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! It's cute, cozy and definitely a spot for locals. I have friends that live in D.C. and this is their go-to. Looks like it's mine now as well. The service is hands down some of the best bar service ever. The staff are friendly, patient and just nice. The food is excellent, shared a pot pie with a couple of pals and it was delicious.

Nice bar on H Street that's the place to be if you're a Liverpool fan. I got to check that experience out with a friend... Liverpool lost to a Brentford team without Ivan Toney, but I digress. The experience though is what you're here for. It's homey, they have a great selection of British beers, the prices are fine for DC, and there's a level of camaraderie here that's really nice. read more

I enjoy visiting The Queen Vic on H Street. The food is always great and the staff is super friendly. Be sure to go when you're hungry because the portions are enormous. Sometimes it can be crowded and rowdy if there is a soccer (aka football) game on tv. The menu offers a variety of British pub dishes that are sure to catch your fancy. I personally recommend the biscuits & gravy from the brunch menu. Definitely check The Queen Vic out if you're in the area. read more

I would really like to give The Queen Vic 5 stars, but I can't. I came here for the first time a few months back. It was a Monday, and I really liked the 80s music that they played. The bartender/owner was friendly and the drinks were good. After years of living in the neighborhood, I thought I finally found my watering hole. I ordered 2 drinks and left. Fast forward to a month or two later and I was reviewing my credit card statement. I saw the charged for my drinks on Monday and there was an additional $60+ charge on Thursday, which was certainly not mine. I spoke to the bartender/owner about this twice and sent an email. Absolutely nothing was done. read more

Love this neighborhood gem. Unassuming British pub with shockingly great food. Don't let the facade fool you, their chef/owner knows how to cook. I started coming for Mussels, "Moules Frites Nights" once a month on a Thursday they post to Insta (@queenvicdc). Their Mac and cheese gnocchi is insane, wings are good too, solid curry options, really good eclectic menu. Give this place a try and it won't disappoint! Covid safe: Upstairs patio has 3 tables considered outside, also they took over the Nomad hookah bar's huge corner outside patio so lots of covid friendly outdoor options. Tiny indoor. Hand sanitizer on every table, staff are all masked up. read more

This review is only for the chicken pot pie. A good friend was craving bangers and mash and I decided to tag along. This pub seems rather small (narrow) and dark so we escaped upstairs because it felt too tight on the first floor. I ordered the chicken pot pie and a hard cider. Be warned though that the menu has time restrictions attached. For example, you can't order the chicken pot pie until after 4 pm. However, this was The best chicken pot pie I've had in the DMV and worth the wait!!! It featured a nice flaky crust and huge chunks of perfectly seasoned chicken and vegetables. Sometimes, chicken pot pie is a bit soupy (too much gravy usually) but this was perfect. Next time I come here, I'm going to order a few of them to take home and toss in my freezer. read more

Visited the Queen Vic last weekend for Sunday Roast - one American (myself), two Brits, and one Aussie; overall it was an excellent experience. Some of the highlights/reflections from our visit include: -atmosphere seems kitschy, and the initial impression is this place may not be well maintained, however from walking through and from what i can see (including the restrooms) this is clean and maintained establishment. -Sunday was quiet and service started off a bit slow (we were upstairs). -Cocktails (Pimm's and Bloodies) were excellent and refreshing, although perhaps a few additional garnishings in the bloody would be good. -We all had the roast beef Sunday Roast - wow! There is enough food here for 2 meals; the roast beef was flavorful (if a bit tough), the potatoes and vegetables were fresh and well cooked, and the pudding (seemed like a popover to me) had a nice exterior/interior textual contrast. Although not a Sunday Roast in the UK, this was a great experience. I look forward to coming back in the future. read more

If you puke in their bathroom, it's the Queen Sick. If I dress up as a girl in here, I'm the Queen Chick. And people are surprised when they get me in said bathroom and I reveal my Queen D**k. But anyway. This is the Liverpool soccer Pub for the DC area. There's another one in Courthouse Northern Virginia, which is even more unfit for the cause than this place. I want to give them 5, but it's kind of impossible, despite the fact that the place is covered in Liverpool memorabilia, and is pretty awesomely located. Parking is a nightmare here with the limited spots and extortionate prices of meters outside. Service can be a total nightmare here. Trying to get served was only part of the problem. The attitudes are a whole nother story. As far as friendly Liverpool fans go, these are a bunch of some of the least friendly. You should have seen the faces and looks in my direction. Bad vibes. Whenever I picked a place to hang out and stand, I was persona non grata. I've been here twice now and it's been similar both times. I feel like the bartenders and servers hate me, as do the other fans. But hey - you'll never walk alone! I love almost every Liverpool pub I've ever been in. I just love this one a bit less. read more
