Fun place for our organization's happy hour. We made a reservation for a group event. High tops were reserved for us. We had a server who kept on top of multiple drink and appetizer orders. Beautiful decor with plenty of space to stand and sit. It's loud once the crowd comes in for sure. We had a great time!
Great place to grab some terrific and tasty comfort food. If the weather is good there is plenty of outdoor seating with a charming DC street/sidewalk atmosphere. The QR code online ordering made things so easy. Indoor seating is limited so plan accordingly.
Had a great experience. Our bartender Joel was great. Good tequila lineup 👍 Lively decor.
This is my second visit to the restaurant and the food was phenomenal once again. I ordered the ginger chicken and it was spicy delicious so definitely don't order this dish on a first or second date....maybe the third. The sangria was flavorful and strong. It has a great vibe and I saw lots of friends, couples, and families enjoying the evening. We stopped here before going to the National Theatre to see Annie. It was a very quick walk over.
Smaller place inside & limited seating. But they have tables outside & in an enclosed area also. The food here is amazing, I had the double smashburger w/ cheese & bacon. Sides are an extra $5.99, I got the tater tots & they were crispy & delicious. Service is always fantastic also. Great spot for lunch or to check out a game.
This is a great environment! This location is deceptively big with an up stairs and downstairs! Nicole's customer service and ability to read her customer is impeccable! Thank y
ou for a GREAT experience! From Texas with some serious appreciation and respect!

Walking from the DuPont Metro station, I noticed Alero and decided to stop for lunch. I opted to play it safe and ordered a chicken and steak fajita. It arrived with the usual sides and overall I had a great experience. The restaurant was not busy so the food came out rather quickly. Service was good and timely and I plan to return again when in the area and hopefully try them for dinner.
Nice sports bar. Service was reasonably quick. 1st time actually having something to eat here. I got the chicken tenders and fries. If you like reallly thick tenders and steak fries this is your place. For me, I like somewhat of a crispy frie and not so big tenders but they were seasoned well just humongous. 3 tenders and fries will run you $22. A bit pricey. Cash price the credit price was a little more.
Great atmosphere, service and food. We went for Margarita Monday. The Buffalo Chicken Tacos were delicious, as were the margaritas. My wife had the burger and said that it was delicious.
So good we went back for lunch.
The people here are the best (especially Walle). Make sure you stop in here when in D.C.

Quiet during Happy Hour. Plenty of space and games to play but not very crowded.
Unfortunately the food is terrible no flavor and the bar person does not know how to make a simple long island. I ask for salt never came till the end when I finished eating. Has very beautiful art and decorations great music Unfortunately the food it's not good. I came with a group of ppl no one was happy with the food. I ask for chilaquiles terrible a very simple dish i idk how they manage to mess it up. Anyways good luck if u come here I was here from 130pm-240
This has become our neighborhood place. Staff is great food is great and good prices!
THE BOUNCER IS AN ASSAULTER - this weekend when we went to Penn Social, my female friend was physically grabbed by one of the male bouncers without her consent. When I went to the manager to file a complaint, he said he wasn’t there so he can’t do anything about it so I told him to check the cameras. We had to leave because the bouncers were so aggressive. The WORST place I have been to in DC. DO NOT GO THERE.
Edited: As you see in their reply, they said they escorted her to the bathroom when she tried to run away. The truth is I was the one who escorted her to the bathroom NOT them and the only reason we ran was because the bouncer grabbed her without asking her or telling her anything. They were not there to give her water or anything as I was the only one there. If asked, we would have left which we did. Please don't lie to cover up the assault. I am a 21 year old college student I have no reason to pick unnecessary fights. Instead of apologizing to us, you continue to defend your disgusting behavior by painting a false story. Why don't you post the camera footage so everyone can see what actually happened, LIARS. Be ashamed of yourselves. YOU are out of line not my review.

Visited this sports bar during happy hour. Server forgot to apply happy hour pricing, though, and had to be asked to correct the tab. Nice drinks and good pretzels.
This place is one of my favs places in DuPont Circle area. They always have a great offer in Live Music or Dj’s. They have a great sport games offer too. Very friendly and kind service.
The venue has two different floors and a rooftop. All of those with full bar and great ambients. Always is a joyful and fun experience to be there!
100% recommend!

Even though we were looking for some mexican restaurant because we thought it would be cool for the Dia de los muertos, there was nothing special about the date, which was a disappointment. We thought it would have a beautiful celebration as the day deserves. Anyway, the food was delicious, the music was good, and the place is cute, well decorated. We liked it.
If you are like me, not into all the expensive and snobby places then you will like this place. The bartender on duty made me feel welcome and they have several types of beer on draft for a very reasonable price and the nachos are good as well and again are very affordable. I wish I would have found this place when I first arrived in DC. So if you are looking for a pub type place, I think you will be happy giving them a try. Thank you for making a Tennessee guy feel welcome.
Well if you want tvs, this is the place there even in each stall. Coz was great. Chili was perfect probably the best we have had. Then a phiily steak sandwich. Service was great. In side ourmt side and up stairs. Definitely will be back.
If you’re looking for a chill place to watch some sports and have a great array of craft beer and bar food, look no further. This place is great for sports lovers and those looking for a beer alike!
Ohne Reservierung haben wir schnell einen guten Platz mit Barhockern erhalten. Der Service war sehr zuvorkommend und das Essen wurde schnell serviert. Der smashburger ist zu empfehlen. Preislich ist das Restaurant für die Qualität des Essens sehr gut aufgestellt. Auch die essensauswahl ist gut. Einen kleinen Abzug gibt es für das Klima im Restaurant. Bei abendlichen Temperaturen von unter 20 grad wurde der Raum noch weiter gekühlt- wozu?? Sonst ist das Restaurant sehr zu empfehlen. Kommen gerne wieder.
Phillip and the other bartender I wanna say Rob (sorry if that’s inaccurate) we’re great. There was a bunch of us for a podcast meet up and they did a great job to keep up. Definitely would come back. Highly recommend.
This spot is great to hang out! I’ve gone several times to play some ping pong and have some drinks. The ambient is nice and the Mango frozen margarita is ridiculous, give it a try, it’s amazing!
A quite proper sports club with a full bar with 5 TVs and plenty of taps, outdoor seating, and plenty of more party lounges with even more TVs. The food menu was casual with standard starters, salads, burgers and hand helds, and even mussels. The service, as was the food, was excellent with the Fish and Chips and the Proper ( French) dip. Quite proper indeed.
Service was great. Atmosphere was typical for being near a ballpark in an urban hi-traffic area. Burger was really good. Chips with the burger were awful and tasted like the cooking oil was rancid or had not been changed in a week.
had to order online but it only worked on Android devices, we tried on 3 other phones but it wouldn't go through. food was meh pretty average bar snacks. service was relatively fast. had about 2 dozen mosquito bites by the time I left would appreciate some bug spray like they do at a few other places around
They have awful food and service and they charge you for every small thing which should be included in food. For example adding cheese to a burger or having bbq sauce with wings. They also have way too expensive drinks. You are better off going anywhere else to eat/spend time. Idk how theyre still open. There is also a minimum you must spend if you want to use your card here
This place was phenomenal, my partner and I’s first time, was an AMAZING TIME. From the customer service, the drinks, all the way to the food. There is not one thing that you could complain about. Becca, was an absolute doll not only did she check to make sure the food was okay, and everything came out great (not to mention everything came out at a better than decent time) but she also engaged in a wonderful conversation from music, to her favorite items on the menu. I can say we will be back time & time again. It was absolutely amazing.!!!
Mission is a fun spot for game day and they do a great job hosting groups! The food and drinks are always amazing and they have a great specialized game-day menu for sports teams with food and drink specials. They always have fast and friendly service and the nachos can’t be beat. For a fun weekend, definitely check out Mission Navy Yard!
Paid $50 for open bar on Eventbrite - there was no music, the bartenders seemed confused about the promotion, and there were 40,000 gnats flying around. One star for potential! I’m super disappointed.
Service was good. The food was just OK. We had some issues with the cook on the steak that my wife ordered. And also the toast was burnt.
If you're visiting Washington DC and exploring the monuments, I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was exceptional, from the welcoming hostess to the attentive manager. Our server, whose name unfortunately slipped my mind, provided excellent recommendations that perfectly complemented our lunch, aligning perfectly with our plans. You can’t skip the taco tuna Bowl 🥰
A friend and I organized a birthday party at Mission's Cactus Room! It was amazing - a big enough private room with its own bar, balcony and restroom! Mission Navy Yard is great for casual events, watch parties and informal gatherings! The staff was just incredible and even offered us hosts a first round of drinks on the house! They waived off the minimum for a 75 person group such as ours with individual guest tabs, I don't know where else could one get such a good deal! Highly recommend :)
I hosted my birthday party at Mission last weekend, my friends and I went to the Nats game and Mission it's just the best and surest place to have fun, grab some drinks and stay in the mood! They are also very organized with schedule events and open to help you with whatever wishes you have (I brought cupcakes and balloons and they were very gentle storing it).
Also, some of my guests went straight to Mission (it was their first time) and they were all impressed by the welcome and cool vibes that the bar has! (Hint: for big crowds choose pitchers they are great and serve about 8 drinks).
Every time I go, I have a blast. I'm proud to say that it's from far my favorite bar in DC.

The food was some of the worst food I’ve ever had. This was our first time in D.C and we had high hopes. The nachos were almost like a joke. There was zero love in that food. We were also told we couldn’t get any happy hour prices and it was still 30 minutes until happy hour was supposed to be over. There were some nice games and great tvs with the games on but that was all that was good.
Well, I have to say it was a great location. Ron and Phil made us feel at home. These two gentlemen are hilarious. We will definitely come back again . We asked to watch the Ohio college game and bank it was on. We did not eat, but from what I seen most people enjoyed their food. We will be back.
The staff and ownership at this bar are incredible. We had an emergency and they all sprung into action immediately, providing water, ice and whatever else we needed (and refunding our tabs, which was extremely unnecessary). The owner even provided his contact info so we could provide him with updates of our situation. If you want to be in a safe environment where you will be cared for—go to the Brig!
This is a new location for this family run Mexican restaurant. It's an explosion of colorful decor. If you had a bad day, come and unwind here. If the lively atmosphere doesn't make you happy, the margaritas will. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our waiter was patient and helpful. We were seated right away. Service is fast. The food is fresh and tasty. Did I mention the margaritas? Well, I tried and loved the Georgia Peach flavored one. This one is served on the rocks. They also have about 5 frozen flavor options. It's loud with music playing and people socializing, but not obnoxious. It's a fairly small restaurant, but the mirrors give it a very open feel. If I lived here locally, I would frequent this restaurant. Good luck for this new location.
I was looking forward to Astro Beer Hall and their chicken sandwich as it was highly rated on several websites.
Overall, the food was “fine”. I ordered the The Asteroid. By itself, the chicken was pretty good. But it was a little too small for a sandwich. My primary concerns were that the jalapeño coleslaw didn’t have much flavor, but more importantly, the brioche bun completely overpowered the rest of the sandwich. If I were local, I would go again and get it with the cheddar biscuit bun instead.
The atmosphere was nice and the bartender was extremely friendly, so this would be a repeat spot for me if I was a local.
Bit pricey; paid around 30$ (including tip) for what you see in the picture (plus a coke drink) but overall not a bad experience.

Dropped by Astra Beer Hall recently and found it to be a lively spot perfect for a casual outing. The establishment has a spacious setting, which I believe would be great for larger groups. Their beer selection is commendable, featuring both local and international options, providing a good variety for different palates. The staff was friendly and seemed well-versed in their offerings, guiding me to try a brew I hadn't before but ended up enjoying. The ambiance, combined with the music in the background, added to the overall relaxed vibe of the place. While my visit was short, I left with a positive impression and would consider returning when in the mood for a good brew.
Service is terrible. I ordered a drink, and received it 30 minutes later. No apology, no discount or refund.
EDIT: I think I may have overreacted in my initial (one-star) review, which was made when I was very frustrated. My perspective is still different than the management's view because I don't recall being informed about the issue, only repeatedly being told to wait. But it is true that I eventually received and finished my drink, and so not being refunded makes sense.

Came here during a bar crawl just for drinks. Fun vibe with relatively quick bartenders. Multi-level with lots of stairs. Rooftop area has a cute flower wall along one side.
Bad pub food and even worse service. The atmosphere was ok. Seems like a good place to stop for a beer but definitely don’t plan on eating here.
On a good note, as they weren't crowded at all, (there were only 3 to 4 people there when we arrived & no one else came in while we were there), we were able to get a table with a view. But, the service was unnecessarily slow, especially because, as I said, no one was there, so the staff was just standing around most of the time & one even sat down at a table for a few minutes while we waited for the server to come back & get our drink order although she did greet us promptly with water.
I can't even remember the name of the cocktail I ordered as it wasn't very good.
The menu was limited, so we only had nacho chips with guacamole as we couldn't find an entree we both liked to share, except for the $55 steak, which we thought was rather pricey & not ideal for sharing.
The rooftop lounge across the street looked more upscale, so we left & went there.
We were here for an hour & a half from start to finish even though we decided to go to the place across the street before our guacamole came & our bill was over $40. for my cocktail, an appetizer, & the tip.

Following a productive offsite meeting, I decided to treat my communications and marketing team to lunch at Proper 21. Overall, we had a pretty good experience. The food was undeniably impressive; it arrived quickly and piping hot, very important, especially when accompanied by some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever tasted. It was also extremely well-presented. Each member of our team thoroughly enjoyed their dishes, so the food quality lived up to the restaurant's reputation.
However, I must admit that the service fell short of our expectations. It lacked the warmth and conversational tone that we had hoped for, making it feel more like a rushed "get 'em in, get 'em out" scenario. Not what we expected considering Proper 21's high rating.
Nevertheless, the food alone makes this restaurant worth revisiting, so I do recommend it. However, should we find ourselves in the area again, several other dining options deserve a try.

when in DC , especially near the National Mall and museums, your food options are pretty limited. Penn Quarter offered a great outdoor area to grab lunch and people watch! food was good. ordered wings, Buffalo Chix Wrap, quesadilla and a " Bar-be-Que" burger. had an issue with my burger (spoiled meat IMO) and they were happy to replace it with another. the replacement was great. service was a bit inattentive and our drinks sat empty for long periods, however our server was nice and accommodating when present. atmosphere was nice and the outdoor seating, again, was wonderful. I'd def recommend anyone looking for something other than food truck options around the National Mall/ White House area.
We got lucky when we stumbled upon this tavern! We sat upstairs were there was a few less people, a beautiful view, stunning bar top and plenty of tv's to see whatever sport you wanted....yes including the bathroom. The food was fantastic! Our service was so kind to give his opinion about different items when we asked. And not a yeah I've never had it but hear it's good, it was a descriptive this is better or that would be my first choice, he was super knowledgeable and very patient with all of the questions. If I come to DC definitely have to come back here! I highly recommend!!! Plus if it wasn't so dang hot there is tons of outdoor seating.
When is the last time you had Filipino food? Been a minute (a long while), or never? Bet, I got the spot for you!! So @rotipizza AND @tastetheblessings came through on this super fun, dope review!! Check their pages out! LET’S GO!!

I went for happy hour with friends, and we got a few picnic tables outside. But that night was also trivia right next to us, and the announcer’s voice felt like it was in my ear. The volume was way too loud - especially since they had no more than 5 people actually playing the trivia. Otherwise, the beer was good and it was cool to spot a few congressmen.
I love this place. Majority of places’ happy hour is until 6, but they have happy hour until 7. And half-off imported beer as well not only domestic!!! Atmosphere & view is fabulous. Additionally, our bartender Jade is amazing. She is so fun to talk and treat us very friendly. Want to come back again!
We really enjoyed this place. We had the chimicanga, enchiladas, seafood soup, and carnitas fajitas. All were good. Decor is nice. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this place.
Horrible experience! Came in after a big event 40 minutes before closing time (just before last call). Definitely not packed. Behind the bar there were 2 guys. So I asked for a Vienna Lager (great and highly recommend) and a water. They charged me and I guess I was in the queue to be served. So after a few seconds I asked again and the shorter African-American bartender loudly asked me to “chill”. I received my beer and asked for my water plus another one as well. The same bartender continued to berate me that I was asking for too much. After that he only gave me one water 😑. So I asked the other bartender for water and he easily gave it to me. The shorter fellow really soured my visit. Unfortunately I won’t come back because of only his horrible attitude.
Came here for the Panama-USA Gold Cup Semi-Finals. They had two floors playing the game, one in English and one in Spanish. It was great that there was a place to experience both. We ended up on the floor with Spanish audio and had a great time overall. Alex was our bartender and he was amazing! The salsa/bachata dancing on the floor below had some competing audio, but wasn’t an issue until later in the night. My only complaint was that after 9pm the volume of the floor below overpowered the speakers where we were watching the game. However, the overall vibe was good and it was a great place to watch a game, socialize, get food/drinks, and enjoy an evening.
The Brig is a lively beer garden that offers a taste of Germany with its liters of brews and traditional eats. The spacious patio is perfect for gathering with friends and family, while the QR code ordering system adds convenience. The German beer selection is noteworthy, providing an authentic experience. The family-friendly environment and plentiful TVs make it an ideal spot for sports enthusiasts. However, the beer selection and service fall short of expectations, lacking variety and efficiency. Despite this, the overall atmosphere and concept of The Brig create an enjoyable experience, particularly for those seeking a relaxed and casual beer garden setting.
This place is pretty bad. I was here before the Nats game Saturday. Drafts were running warm, so they only offered cans and bottles. $8 for a 12 oz can. The bartender was friendly but inattentive. Bison burger medium came out well-done and room temp. Cuban sandwich had meat falling out of it and none in it.
As the go to spot after Nats games, Mission is well known for their drinks and tequila on tap. What you may not know is they have some delicious food to soak up the alcohol you consumed all day before arriving in their poppin atmosphere. Definitely recommend the nachos for a good app, and please order your tequila shots chilled
One star for the halfway decent quesadillas. Terrible service. Don't expect to be served if you're a woman. It was laughably ridiculous the great lengths the old dude went to to avoid eye contact with us while catering to the guys. Went here after work while it was quiet and slow, and stood at the bar for five minutes because the bartender (Sean) ignored me only until I'd left the bar area. Was there for two hours with a group of men who were handed menus and tended to by the old dude. Myself and one other woman did not get a menu or even an acknowledgement to see if we wanted anything. Not even a napkin. If you're a man, great service, outstanding. If you're a woman, tough luck, no service even though you're also a paying customer. In short, support another establishment, not this one.
Everything on the menu that we had was delicious and tasty. The service could have been a bit better, but the food and quality were there. We went during the quiet time of the day so the atmosphere was not all that. The food did not take that long to come to the table and the items seemed to be well prepared although is regular American food to execute.
Everytime I come here, I am impressed. The food is authentic and delicious. Anyone at the bar will attest to it. The sound system is perfectly balanced so you can still talk to people while enjoying an event. Upstairs has all the cocktails you need and the deck is beautiful. But the late night kitchen is the cherry on top!
Pros:
Nicely decorated
Clean bathrooms
Friendly service
Tacos were good
Cons:
They didn't have white Mexican cheese dip.
They couldn't make me agua mineral preparada, but they had a bartender.

Came here on a hot day in Summer looking for a cold beer. I had a Kolsch and an a pale ale that claimed to not be imperial. They were both fantastic.I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was fantastic. It came with tater tots and assortment of mystery sauces all of which were great. This was nice place to stop. I’ll be back again. 5/5.
Definitely gonna be pricey for food especially. Would only go there for the drinks. The one bartender Amber gives great service though always with a smile. Will definitely be back (again only for drinks)
I went to over under last night and had a great time. The service was amazing and the drinks were good. Amber was our bartender and her skills, combined with her friendly nature, create an enjoyable and memorable experience.
We had an impromptu family gathering dinner, we were lucky that we didn’t have to wait for table. First of all, we were surprised to find out that there were no chip and salsa for the table (where most of the Mexican restaurants do) and we had to order them. And the chip was not that good, they were pretty hard and thick, which is not what we expected for some home-made chip.
The food was okay overall, don’t expect anything impressive.
It was a nice ambience restaurant if you’re expecting a pub-like experience. But since we’re here for a family gathering, it was too loud and noisy for us to chat and catch-up.
Our food came fast, but our server was way too busy to keep checking in with us. I definitely will not recommend this place for family gathering.

Great little place to stop for a drink. Also what a surprise to know they serve fresh baked cookies! I ordered a mango peach cider and got a peanut cup cookie! Both were excellent. I didn't get to try any of their regular food but from what I could see it looked pretty delicious.
This is a FANTASTIC place to host an event! I was interested in celebrating an event for my 30th birthday and Residency Match party. If you're looking for a cost effective, delicious food place with excellent, responsive staff seriously look no further! Mission Navy Yard exceeded my expectations.
We did a "semi-private" event in the main bar downstairs which cost me $0 to reserve! The difference between the semi private and private events is the semi-private is more cost effective, and they block off the area with a rope. The staff did a fantastic job from the get-go; I simply put a request online in their contact section, and got a response within minutes. I worked with Dora and Mackenzie and did the cash bar and displayed apps option for about 30 guests. Food options were plentiful - we ordered the fish baha tacos, shrimp tacos, and empanadas and they were a hit! Hot, delicious, and the staff did an thoughtful job with the presentation. Even the bartender downstairs who took care of us was very patient and attentive! Everyone was a fan of Mission's classic margaritas.
My family and friends had such a wonderful time for my event, and definitely recommend them if you want the planning, execution of your event to go seamlessly! I also was touched by the complimentary champagne they brought out for me! Without a doubt it was a fantastic experience--thank you so much Mission Navy Yard for making my celebration so memorable! :)

Stopped here for a quick lunch. The atmosphere is a casual pub style sports bar, with TVs everywhere including the bathroom. You'll never miss a shot during the game. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Garlic ballpark fries. The sandwich was great and the fries were crisp and flavorful. The staff was kind and courteous. This is great stop with a couple of friends and during March Madness.
Amazing!!!
Went here over the weekend during peak bloom season and tried some “cherry blossom” beers, surprisingly there weren’t as many IPAS on the menu as I expected.
Great environment, wonderful service and fantastic food. Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and loaded tots to share with friends

I got the big pretzel and the chips and salsa and it was good to eat. The horseradish sauce is very hot so be careful. It cleared my nose right up
Great service from the bartender. Good beer nice atmosphere. Lots of tvs for games
Beers were great! Fried pickles, tasty and a little spicy. Nice atmosphere and staff. Bathroom was unisex and very dirty.
Had an interesting experience at this bar…
Venue is nice and had a good vibe to it. However the drinks are pretty pricey and they added a mandatory 20% tip. So after buying some drinks, I left a 2 star review on Google mainly because I find 20% tips slightly annoying and sometimes sneaky.
About an hour later a manager came up and slightly confronted me about the review. He wanted to know why I left a two star review and when I told him it was because of the mandatory tip, he offered to buy me a round of drinks to make up for it. To clarify - I did not take the offer.
It was nice for this establishment to reach out and offer me a free drink. I also appreciate the manager coming for honest feedback. This is why I upped my review to three stars.

It's decent, I was just there to watch a sporting event among a group. I didn't order anything to eat myself, but was told that the food prices are on the exorbitant side. The table service was between average & good for among the group and it being busy. It was cool that there are plenty of large screen TV's viewable to accommodate. There was condensation on the ceiling that dripped on me a couple times; while sitting at a table, and while I was standing right before I left.
Amazing Bar with an Incredible Rooftop, the atmosphere is inviting, the staff very professional and the drinks are AMAZING!!! the Blue Drink they serve at Bachata Brunch Sundays on the rooftop is addictive yiu can not just have 1 lol. The Vibe and people were great can not wait to go back on a Sunday and Dance my Sunday away. I felt like I was in Miami or somewhere different. The new looks of the black and Pink Flower wall was spectacular, and that glass Rooftop in the summer will be open they say and like we are in the sky. I Highy recommend going on a Sunday or any weekend to Public Bar Live in Dupont circle. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic venue in all seasons. Great crew from bachata brunch and staff that work at Public Bar Live are professional. Security is never an issue and amazing atmosphere fulfilling a easy going social dancing all night long. Don't miss out it's worth the visit and if dancing isn't your scene it's an amazing sports hangout with multiple screens and never miss a game.
I was surprised how delicious the chicken cheese steak was. The Bar was very clean. The staff was super nice. The chicken tenders wear really big. The chicken tenders were actually adult size.
Very nice bar for brunch. It’s good bar food with large portions, strong mimosas, and the prices are very low for the area. Burger and fries was solid. The chicken and waffles was good but I’d probably try something else next time. The staff is extremely nice and friendly and turned on a soccer game at our request. Not crowded on a non baseball day. Will definitely return.
Our group drove in from parts from Louisiana and Alabama (12 plus hour drive), to visit our Nation’s capital, and we really need a drink. So on a whim we popped into this place and the I have to say, we appreciated Philip and his hospitality . He was kind, attentive, and genuinely did his best to make sure we had what we needed. He was busy but the effort this man put into making sure we were taken care of, makes me appreciate this place. If your in town, swing a leg on chair and grab a drink, meet Philip and enjoy yourself !
One of my favorite places to eat at first....
The Manager or the Guy with the Purple & Blue hair is Super professional. The waiter with the curly hair and light brown skin isn't a good server. I had dinner & he did a poor job. We had to pay our bill with the Hostess. He was actually upset because we didn't leave a TIP. All he did was take our Drink orders. He took long to even do that. The Manager came over and took our food order. He never checked on Us. We actually wanted to spend more money and buy more drinks. I've even gone to the bar l alone once, & that same waiter never really attend to me. Beware if you get the Light brown guy with the curly hair.. he doesn't care.. he just wants to get TIPPED for doing Minimum. (Nothing) I don't know if I will eat at that location again. The food and Drinks were good tho....

Great live music, pleasant people, and no cover charge!
If you like 90s/00s Rock N' Roll- this is the place to be on Friday Nights! Live music bands such as The Hillwoods, Lush, etc. perform here, and it's a blast.
Going to miss this place when I move out of DMV!

Great place! Tons of beers on tap and good food. They can accommodate groups of pretty much any size - the ordering is all digital, brought right to your table. You can keep your tab separate or easily combine it with others. The music was 90's alt-rock, which seemed to match the clientele.
Sports bar with Filipino food and Tiki drinks? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Nicely tucked on 18th street with phenomenal food and plenty of TVs to catch any game (F1 included). Upstairs hip Tiki restaurant. Food is to die for! Pancit topped with Lechon? Halo Halo, Ube Cheesecake!!!
Must try dinuguan! Crispy pork belly was perfect and the noodles. They have great cocktails too. Nice patio location and great service
Sports bar with 6 large screen tv’s broadcasting a variety of live games. Great for snacks and drinks while on the go. You order via an app - GoTab. This allows the staff to fill orders quicker than the usual ‘in person’ method. It was easy to use. The beer came quickly as did the food. The nachos could have had a bit more cheese as half of the chips were bare. The pretzel was REALLY GOOD as were the fries with malt vinegar. Portions were large. They have beer on tap and some in cans-they pour it in a glass for you. It’s an outdoor bar - most of seating is covered and the heaters do a good job of making it warm. Not upscale - very casual. If you are looking for fancy cocktails and appetizers, this is not the place. If you are looking for a no-fills sports bar, then look no further. The atmosphere was lively as it was busy for a Thursday.
This place is absolutely amazing. The location is great, the place is massive like an iceberg, upstairs looks big but it's just the tip, downstairs is where the fun is. If you're a sports fan you have 360 degrees of giant screens showing all major professional sports. Staff are amazing. They make you feel at home. I'll be returning. Many times
This was our first time going to Mission, as we have had heard mixed reviews.
The noise level of the music was really loud, almost that of a night club when you first walked in. If the music was lower, it would’ve been a better experience.
The drinks were not bad at all. I will say the ranch water was a little strong, had to cut it down with a few limes. My sister ask for a corona with a lime, the waitress (Julia) told her it came in a can, but she still wanted a glass with a lime.
The food was really good. I highly impressed with each thing that everyone got. Definitely looking forward to trying other items on our next visit.
I would like to address the lack of attention and enthusiasm our waitress Julia had to offer. There was a table next to us and she had to at least come by their table five times and could careless that we were done. I had to get up and ask her for the check, to which she was on her phone and seemed bothered that I asked for the check. Julia asked if I wanted it individually separated. There is a picture that is attached, you can see that she has a mask below her nose. This is highly alarming, as she is handling peoples food and drinks.
I would love to speak with someone about my experience here.

Great venue with a small yet pleasant rooftop. The music is excellent and was played at the right volume. The bartenders and the staff were very polite. I would say that it's growing as one of my favorite spots in the area for taking out friends and enjoying a night out.
Came here for the first time, will not be returning. We sat, and it took almost 20 minutes to be acknowledged. The bartender was also the server. I ordered a MDW cheeseburger... it came out medium. I literally had less than the amount of fries in a McDonald's small fry... for $23. When I made mention of the fries, I was told "The bar back said they're not sending more fries". Fine! So... I ordered a side of fries. I get a McDonald's medium fry for check this out... a whopping $13! Yep... a whole $13! This will not be a return visit. I came. I saw. I'm not interested.
Good sports bar on the main drag of Navy Yard. Ample seating outside or inside; and must try their wings. The ribs were okay at best and the fries were. A bit soggy.
Awesome food and drinks, great atmosphere and pleasant staff. IG@punk_pagong
Conveniently located near the Metro, National Gallery and National Mall. The service is great, so you can get a quick lunch and continue sightseeing. The food is freshly prepared, as you can see from the open kitchen. Portions are generous and the food is really good. My Smoked Turkey ABLT was $13.99. Sides are extra.
I love this sports bar. I came with my husband and 4 friends for the Super Bowl. We usually go to someone’s house for the game. But we tried this place, made some bets and ended up having the best time. Reidun was our server. She was really attentive. So was the bar back. I saw past reviews of people saying staff is terrible, but maybe now that they are a month or two into business, they are getting better. We had a fun time and the energy was good. Lots of people. Will definitely be back.
We went the Game on a Saturday to watch football and grab a couple of beers. Plenty of TVs, good seating, super friendly staff!!
Their selection of bourbons is fantastic. One of the owners told us he sells the bourbon he has at his own house.
We only had the Lumpia but man was it good!! Authentic and fresh!

Fabulous! The food is divine. The cocktails are addictive. Atmosphere is chill!
Great customer service, great food. We will def become regulars.
The food was very good. The buns were somewhat flaky (in a good way) and the dogs were served in a cute metal "holder". We opted for the chips (rather than fries) as our side order. I wish there were more if the chips but what we had was good.
Service was a tad slow but it was just before a Nationals game and the place was hopping. We were glad we stopped by and will try but again.

Went there with about 15 co-workers and I got "Karla's Cheesesteak" with sweet potato fries. The food was surprisingly good for bar food. Standard DC prices, the cheesesteak with added mushrooms, sweet potato fries instead of regular fries, and a diet coke without a refill came out to $20. For some reason, they had the appetizer menu covered up and were not serving appetizers that day. They refused to split the check based on orders and the waiter seemed a little flustered when we handed him 8 credit cards but he got all 15 orders 100% right as far as I can tell. I might go back to check out their drinks one day.
