The burgers here, made with Hereford beef, are on another level and the add-ons available are great! I went with The Classic Burger and added jalapeños, Chimay cheese and applewood-smoked bacon.

Their Poutine comes with hand-cut fries in a skillet, smothered in homemade gravy, cheese sauce, bacon bits, and scallions.

Addictive Macaroni & Cheese: macaroni smothered in homemade béchamel sauce and flavored with 5 locally produced gourmet cheeses.

Fantastic beer, good people, although one server wouldn't let me try more than one beer. I'm not here for freebies, just want to make sure I like it before I get it.

The Tap Room - 50 feet of bar, 32 taps worth of hard-to-find US craft beers (Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale, Stillwater Cellar Door Saison, Schneider Hopfen-Weisse Weizenboc etc.) What more do you need? Read more

Huge selection of beer goes along great with the Hereford beef burgers. They've got a slew of toppings including 8 different cheeses (try the Chimay). They also know how to do a proper fried egg on a

Diverse selection of beer, both craft and import options on tap and in bottles. This bar also plays host to a number of beer events, so check their website for updates.

Wipps' favorite burger of 2011 was at The Black Squirrel because of the gooey, seemingly never-ending glob of Chimay cheese that topped the perfectly cooked medium-rare burger. Read more

Hands down one of the better burgers I've had in the DC area. A little dark inside when it's sunny out, but friendly staff.

Beer is really good, they always have a big selection of local craft beer.
DonnaMarch 12, 2015
Had Classic Burger, cooked the way I asked, delicious. Side salad was just enough and dressing was very good.

Friendly bar staff and some decent bourbon make this worth stopping in to.

The Reuben was pretty good. That and fries for $12. And, they have a great beer selection.

Great tap list. DJ had random 90s and 00s mixes on and its not crowded for near midnight on a Saturday in AdMo. Good times with a small group.

Philip is the best waiter ever. Ask for a little Underberg to finish your meal.

Very few places sell Georgia’s SweetWater Brewing Co.'s 420 Extra Pale Ale or IPA, on a count of there expiration dates, but head on over to the Black Squirrel if you want to give it a taste. Read more

In 2010, the owner posted an anti-immigrant rant on their blog, saying "Too many come here to ply their illicit trades, take up with gangs and live in the shadow of polite society."

Gross whiskey sour. But the menu sounded delish! Mac n cheese, fish and chips, steak with herb butter..I'm salivating.
Sean CantrellJuly 5, 2011
Great bar! It has an absinthe menu! And Avalon is one of the friendliest bartenders I've met.

Great place for beer lovers (especially hopheads). Burgers are delicious.

The beer selection is extensive. But, once you find the one you like chances are they ran out of it.

Pretty good Whisky & Bourbon drinks.
Mandy JenkinsJuly 21, 2010
Great beer selection. The Young's chocolate stout is a great dessert replacement.
