CassidyAugust 21, 2016As a NYC transplant I found myself missing Lucy's... this is the perfect replacement. $2 Boh tall boys and some pinball will do just fine. Don't be an asshole, tip generously!
Andrew DeanMay 24, 2015Once I ordered a gimlet and the bartender gave me a glass of gin and five slices of lime. Amazing.Upvoted Feb 24
Nadia ChilmonikMarch 24, 2015It's awesome dark but not too. Not pretentious about their hipster ness. Nice staff and laid back atmosphere

Serious EatsOctober 1, 2013This dive bar is not particularly crowded, even on a weekend, and the crowd is one of the mellowest in DC.
Jessica MacleodMay 23, 2014my tip is to leave a tip...dollar per drink. local patron...drinks are cheap..little distraction so you can talk...have fun!
Laura CovingtonMay 9, 2014"Grill" may be a bit of a misnomer. But they have a lovely selection of Utz pretzels and potato chips.
David HoltzJanuary 24, 2017Nice selection of board games, including the Ten Commandments Bible Game.- NightSceneNovember 18, 2010This neighborhood, hole in the wall bar, is the oldest operating bar in the District. Cash only bar, and decent prices, its the definition of dive bar. Hipster haters beware
Mickey M.August 8, 2014Great little neighborhood dive bar. The "grill" part is in name only. But they sell snacks.
Love having this local bar nearby. Great crowd, greater jukebox, even greater prices.
Jason CAugust 14, 2014Might be the diviest dive in DC. Your cell phone won't work inside, that's how old school of a dive bar it is.
SoundproofblogJanuary 28, 2011Awesome original, non-internet jukebox. Go midweek to explore and chill.
iPhone wielders rejoice! This hipster haven is full of folks who shine like little Danny boy from The Shining but electronically...effin' non-psychic cheaty dogs!
Put away your iPhone (it won't get reception inside anyway) and have a real conversation.
Jamesons and a Nati Boh: $7. And best bathroom graffiti in the city.
erin mazurskyOctober 21, 2010Funny that it's called the Raven "grill" cause there's actually nothing that even comes close to being grilled here.
Have a jukebox war with your friends, dollar for dollar.
