Washington PostAugust 19, 2014Bypass the dining room and follow the smell of old paper to the back, where you’ll find a nook dubbed the Reading Room. Hundreds of titles line the shelves and a reading lamp encourages you to linger. Read more
Behrad EatsNovember 29, 2017The tender and juicy Pulled Pork sandwich here is among the best you'll find in this city!
Steve MinardJanuary 13, 2014Old school flavor, specialty cocktails, surprisingly good food (corned beef brisket was excellent), and fantastic service. They can even split individual items across multiple checks! Great new spot.
David DerrickAugust 14, 2014Incredible hand crafted cocktails by very experienced and knowledgable bartenders! Very cool copper bar. A Petworth neighborhood treasure!
Alise NacsonApril 29, 2018The fried cauliflower and brussel sprouts are amazing! Grilled cheese is ok but you can skip the tomato soup — they should change it to mushroom or something. Great local bar!
Amy CummingsMarch 26, 2019Ask the bartender if you can sit in the Reading Room. Even if it’s not open they’ll let you bring your drink in there!
Brian T.March 25, 2016Great for cocktails and snacks with friends. Cozy and not too loud, so fantastic for having actual conversations
Matt BernsteinMay 8, 2017Good place for a date. Cool environment, good music playing, and drinks were good and different.
Jaime WojdowskiMay 22, 2015Chorizo burger is spiiiiiiicyyyy!!!! The guac cooled it off a little bit, but wooo, that was hot for me! (Maybe I should have expected that, but I'm not familiar with chorizo!)
Kevin ArtsFebruary 12, 2015The smoked old fashioned is delicious. Chicken wings are a good food option. Great vibe.
Sarah SchmidtJanuary 6, 2016This bar is great- great cocktails, beers on tap, and great happy hour prices
Sara SchwartzFebruary 24, 2014Such a great atmosphere. Staff is attentive and friendly. New favorite bar.
Terence RoseFebruary 8, 2015Go for the cheap beer, mixed drinks, and friendly bartenders. The food is...Meh!
Great cocktails and atmosphere. Loved the comfort food too. Highly recommend this new spot.
Mackenzie BolinSeptember 7, 2014Tell the bartenders what kind of alcohol you like and let them create a cocktail for you.
