Wednesdays are 1/2 price burger night, we recommend the Cowboy Burger which is topped with bacon, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, and an onion ring!

Excellent service. Kitchen closes at midnight, so order early. Food is standard bar food, but there is a good selection of beers available. Nice, hole in the wall type bar.

This dive, steps away from Dupont Circle, has an excellent craft beer selection.

The bartenders are awesome. Don't ask for your regular @craftbeer or drink, let them do what they do best, take care of you. Great beers and unpretentious atmosphere makes this place memorable.

Overall a fun place! Ski ball upstairs and a rooftop seating area, good beer selection, and you can catch some funny comedy at nights in the basements for a good price.

Big Ass beer was tasty, the decor was weird but Skee Ball in Dupont? Tell me more! Must come back on a nice evening to see the rooftop. Next time!

Great beer selection. Their offering of special New Belgium beers (even goses and sours) was awesome!

Manly (and strange) decor marks this watering hole, which offers an oasis from D.C. grad students and suits. Get a pint of Red Hook. They're three measly bucks on Thursdays.

Get the 15cent wings on Tuesday, sit on the rooftop in the summer, drink great lakes beer, grab a booth with friends at happy hour, ask for Evan to serve you, chat with the bartenders, compare ink :)

$1 tacos, cheap lush ales and comedy in the basement. What more could you want?

Staff here pays more attention to its beer lists than almost anywhere in town. If Dave C. is working behind the bar, pick his brain for recommendations -- and ask about 3 Stars Brewing.
Kelly BarrettNovember 14, 2011
Laid-back. Good for drinks with friends, unpretentious--has a nice rooftop patio but it's usually pretty packed if it's a nice night.

House beer and lively atmosphere.

The hip Dupont Circle watering hole can show your favorite football game, no matter the location, & better yet, it’ll pour you $3 house drafts for all 4 quarters.

If you get chicken wings, get 'em well done. Nice and crispy that way.

Amanda F doesn't know what she's talking about. It's one of the best bars in DC.

There's a lot to explore here, but be sure to check out the back deck. It's quiet, secluded and all awesome.

If you are doing a themed bar crawl, don't bother coming in here and bothering the rest of us with your nonsense.
