Tom MaxwellMay 24, 2018Great basement bar to nurse a cocktail in on a balmy summer day. Georgetown peach tea was my fav
Arun RamachandranNovember 19, 2014Beer fries and Tomb's ale are popular and totally worth it. This place is wild on Saturday nights and has the college crowd swarming it. Fun place!
Carolyn ZimmermanFebruary 19, 2015Great atmosphere and unique menu. Had the confessional burger which was a new menu item - very good. Looks like they have good, cheap late night specials too.
Jessie Van AmburgMarch 18, 2013"The Corruption" IPA is one of the best beers I have ever had. However, beware: there's a lot of douchey bros that like to come here. So free entertainment to go with your drinks!- Arun RamachandranNovember 2, 2014The atmosphere is so electric with the college crowd. Every song and every beat is accounted for. Check out the Tomb's Ale. It's simply the best beer here.
Jakka JakkaMarch 22, 2016Fish n chips or the gyro can't go wrong. Off menu the Buffalo chicken sandwich is great.
Nancy Lafontant-WhitingMarch 30, 2019I had the Salmon burger and Caesar salad. My husband had the Fried Buttermilk chicken sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious. The chicken was nice and tender. It wasn’t dry at all.
Chicken Sandwich #1 and the Cheeseburgers are the best you will find in any bar/restaurant in the World! Hoya Saxa!
They now have a happy hour! Mon-Thurs 4-6 they have $3 mugs of local craft beers. And $9 pitchers of Coors Light all the time
Now OwlJuly 13, 2010When I need a nachos fix, this is my go to place in DC. They don't skimp on the fresh ingredients (thick slices of tomatoes and jalapenos) and refried beans. Fried green tomato BLT solid alternative
Don PFebruary 1, 2020Atmosphere is awesome! Fish and Chips were flavorless. Coleslaw was the same, very little flavor.
They have sweet potato fries. They're not on the menu. Roast chicken when in season is the bomb.
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016My biggest memory of this place is throwing up...nvm. Guiness for the win and getting drunk and having to walk down a steep hill
Oge MarquesJuly 18, 2012Great beer, delicious food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. This is my favorite pub in Georgetown, hands down!- Stephen SandersMarch 9, 2013I didn't go to Georgetown but the Tombs makes me wish that I did. Possibly the best college pub in America. I love the Tombs ale.
Order a spiked caramel macchiato, best damn 'shake in the city. I promise you. Perfect to split between two making it just $5 each!- Fridays at midnight the place turns into a makeshift club. Beware of the overpacked bar and dance floor though.
Xavier ASeptember 25, 2014Best mozzarella sticks in DC and I have actually been searching. Best by a longshot so far.

Connie HaroJanuary 9, 2013The sauce murdered the sirloin. Ask for it on the side. Tombs ale is good!
maria gutierrezAugust 7, 2013Super great food. Bamba taco was the best. Barbarcoba was delicious as well!
ConciergeQJanuary 19, 2011Q: What is your favorite smell or taste in Washington D.C.? Ashley Wagner, 2010 US Ladies Bronze Medalist: "Chicken #1 at The Tombs in Georgetown. One of my favorites." Read more
Try the strawberry or chocolate milkshake! Also, if you like goat cheese, ask for it on your salad :)
Maggie MacGMay 23, 2017Go underground and pretend it's St. Elmo's Fire... interesting spot; vintage Georgetown.
Chris FredericksAugust 13, 2014Cheap beer and relive your college years. You'll hear St. Elmo's Fire at least once . . .
greg smithJuly 5, 2014Good beer but you gotta be weary of any clientele that's ok with a Wehrmacht recruitment poster.
Rudi RietFebruary 27, 2013The milkshakes, while thin in texture, are very tasty and big enough to share.
Don't miss country night on Mondays! $3 bourbon drinks and great music
Adam K.February 5, 2012Try the Tombs Ale! It's pretty delicious and generic like the rest of Georgetown.
Buffalo chicken sandwich is by far the best thing on the late night menu
Whether it's lunch or a night out, The Tombs is always a great choice!
Vanessa GalloMay 4, 2012Fun place for a drink when you are waiting for your reservation at 1789 next door
Danielle JohnsonAugust 14, 2017What a shame, this place is so cool but the staff is absolutely terrible. I'm definitely not one to complain about service ever, but this goes beyond service. Rude, incompetent staff. Food was good.
Henry ClarkAugust 8, 2013I like to think of this place as my little secret in the historic Georgetown neighborhood!
Get there at opening for the yummy cupcakes from the 1789 bakery.
Christopher BelangerSeptember 25, 2010Ignore the menu. Order buffalo chicken sandwich, finish with a tombs brownie. Hoyas - do 99 days.
The cheesesteak is more food than any of the burgers for a buck less.

"The best you're going to be able to do on low-sugar food here is one of their salads. Wish a few more options were available among their sides."
