  by Tony C.

  by Kerstin J

  
  

• Beer, of course! Enough to suit all styles and preferences....try one of the flatbreads for a nice pairing.

  by Greg R

  
  

• Beer selection is INSANE! Dimly lit and relaxing vibe inside (upstairs from Birch and Barley). Food is good too. My favorite beer bar, period. Always a stop when in DC.

  by Cole L

  by Derek F.

• They always have a great list of rotating beers on tap covering all tastes. Such an extensive beer list, bottles, can, craft and draft.

• If you aren't sure what kind of beer to get, just ask the bartenders. They are great at helping to find something you'll like, and will usually give you a splash before you commit to full pour

• Brendan is the man. Ask him about his brewery that he's opening in 9 months!

  by Alex P.

  
  

• Great selection, good food, friendly people... but it always smells a little bit like vomit.

  by Alex P.

• Great Beer selection, very knowledgeable staff!

  by Gary R

  by Lily J.

  by Kelly Z.

  
  

• Great beer selection

  by Maria S

  
  

• People rave about the beers here. I'm not sure I get why. In terms of quantity it's low and the quality is good but overrated. The ambiance is fine but I'm unlikely to return.

  by Franco C.

  
  

• Wonderful selection of beers of all types, available in small and regular sizes. Gets extremely busy early in the evening.

  by Trevor

• The wedding beer is great, awesome tater tots and cauliflower arancini. Cute atmosphere.

  by Kathleen Corless

  
  

• I love the option of a 4oz pour or glass. It's so much easier to try the different beers!

  by Glo T.

  
  

• That beer selection! Where to start? Fortunately all beers on tap can be ordered in 4oz tasters, so you can sample a wider variety of different beers.

• The fried chicken Luther

  by Gerard B

  
  

• Mac & Cheese sticks

  by Katie S.

  by Amelia T

  
  

• Great beer list, open relatively late (for DC)

  by William B

  
  

• Definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. Great for a casual night. Despite how packed it gets, it's usually quite easy to grab a drink from the bar tenders

  by Nathan T

  
  

• They have a large tap list- 20+ the night we were there. But they were almost all from two breweries- one in Michigan and one in Florida. I was hoping for local

  by Patrick Baskin

  
  

• Awesome variety of beers!!

  by Agus P

  
  

• Food is upscale pub food, great beer list, knowledgeable barkeeps, good music and TVs to watch a game. Every seat is full and they say it's not even busy. The arancini are delish!

  by Jenna S.

  
  

• Great wings and of course the beer selection is second to none in town.

  by Karl B.

  
  

• Often smells weird. Gets so crowded Thursday night through Saturday night that's it's not worth it.

  by John K.

  
  

• Amazing beer selection and a menu that always manages to shine. Ask the bar staff and wait staff for recs.

  by Adam R.

  by AFAR Media

  
  

• With so many beers on offer, Bailey couldn't possibly settle on just one wing dish, so he created three homemade sauces for his semolina-crusted, twice-fried wings.

  by Epicurious

  
  

• The A/C is not working well tonight. Beer is a tad warm out of the tap also.

  by Scott O.

  
  

• Greg Engert hosts Culinary Inspired Beers at Atlanta Food & Wine Festival May 29 – June 1 where participants will explore beers whose preparation and flavor profiles were influenced by food.

• Simply the best (craft beer) pub in the DC area. Magic number: 555

  by Cesar Calderon

  
  

• The small plates are delicious: meatballs on a bed of lentils, all of the flatbreads, the tater tots taste like fried balls of mashed potatoes! HEAVEN!

  by Kimberly A.

  
  

• Mac and cheese sticks are: cooled overnight, cut info 3-1/4-inch-by-1-inch bricks, coated with garlic-infused panko bread crumbs, fired and served with a sweet tomato relish.

  by Washington Post

  
  

• Yes. Just yes. Amazing beer selection, fantastic bar staff--friendly and always ready with a recommendation. (Although really, how could you go wrong with such a finely curated selection?)

  by Josh P.

  
  

• The seating situation is a complete clusterfuck. If you're lucky enough to drink your beer sitting down, guard that seat with all your life.

• Stew is great. First time I've been there where a bartender wasn't too swamped to make conversation.

  by Liz M.

  
  

• Great spot!

  by Madison L.

  
  

• An upstairs/downstairs, beer-focused restaurant and gastropub. At Birch & Barley, order the cavatelli and flounder tartare; at Church Key, Tater Tots and charcuterie.

• Elysian from Seattle on tap! Impressive.

  by Kevan Y.

  
  

• Woah, the choice in beer is unlimited here. Seek out Dutch craft beer in the bottle section!

  by Rick K.

  
  

• Tater tots are so good they got promoted to "potato tots"!

  by Ike S

  
  

• A super fave, especially weekends for lunch/brunch when it's so chill you feel like you're in your own personal beer vault.

  by Michael B.

• Try the Mac & Cheese Sticks

  by Foodspotting

  
  

• Yummy grilled Mac and cheese!

  by emily l.

  
  

• Get there early to snag a table (seat yourself). Cheeseboards have tiny portions: opt for flatbread or mac 'n' cheese sticks. S'mores Brownie is insane, and Oliver's Bishop's Indulgence is money!

• The Brooklyn Lager rocks.

  by Ernesto G.

  
  

• The Chicken MikeNuggets are incredible pockets of confit chicken. I've never had anything like them and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Unless you're a vegetarian.

• Go to Churchkey and order a Dirty Bastard. Interesting and ordering it made me giggle.

  by Kim J.

  
  

• Jordan rules. Let him guide you through the drafts menu. Bottled beers: try the Weyerbacher Fourteen Ale (sweet, fruity, syrup-like) and Corne du Diable (a solid, reasonably priced American IPA).

  by Aymeric A

  
  

• Go to Churchkey and use their beer menu as a checklist.

  by Paul M

  
  

• Casks turn over regularly but I can personally vouch for the Crisis IPA, District Chophouse Amber and Oliver's Oak Aged 3 Lions. So good.

  by Joey M.

  
  

• I would recommend a beer, but the list is always changing (reason to return frequently). No matter what you decide, an order of poutine will accompany it perfectly.

  by Jared C.

  
  

• Cask Ale... Do you really need any other reason?!

  by Devin G.

  
  

• Love the double trouble!
