• Amazing beer list!!!

  by Ellie L

  
  

• The pre appetizer bread sampler is so good, and the french fries are perfect!

  by Martina E.

  
  

• Vegetarians: limited options. They say farm to table but that's mostly meat (they butcher meat on premise). You can eat: mushroom risotto with capers, spring pea flatbread and all the great desserts.

• Not sure what the big deal is. Like the concept but the static menu bores me. Unsure of the freshness of the produce or food handling. I have always felt ill after eating there.

• Delicious food with an unparalleled beer selection. Seriously, like 500 varieties of bottled beer or something ridiculous.

• All locally sourced plates!! Bread was amazing & made fresh! Fig and prosciutto pizza was tasty. Wish we did the tasting menu! Loved the beer selection. You should definitely sampled a few!

• Following an overnight cooling, the mac and cheese sticks are 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.

• If you are a beer enthusiast you should select your own beers rather than go with the beer menu that is offered to go with the food.

  by Erik Brok

  
  

• This is the most pretentious and over-priced place I've ever been to. The food was tasteless. The have an "ethos" that takes 15 mins to explain. Go upstairs to Churchkey instead.

• Very good menu (flatbreads are amazing). Didn't try the beers but it seems to be a must do! Service was awesome and the food amazing.

  by Arnaud Réauté

  
  

• Service was pretty deficient. Slow. Unhelpful. And they bring the wrong things.

  by Javier A.

  
  

• the chicken and waffles are really good, but not really worth the $$. French toast was dry and flavorless.

  by Eric Francisco

  
  

• And the chicken & waffles...DOUBLE amaze-balls crisped and dipped in syrup to perfection!

  by Chuck L

  
  

• The brat burger was amaze-balls!

  by Chuck L

  
  

• One of the best meals@of my life. The duck was fantastic + the truffle herbed Mac & cheese. Don't even get me started on the beer list.

  by Kiki K.

  by Colleen N.

  
  

• Beer list is extensive and impressive. Pairs well with a Sunday brunch of donuts and fried chicken

  by Richie S.

  by Jasmine

• Buger looks crazy good

  by M. G. S.

  
  

• The charcuterie plate is a cut above most others I've had.

  by Benjy W.

  
  

• Get the boozy brunch! Food is amazing, great service and Joel is awesome!

  by Paula P.

  
  

• Don't go with the tasting menu without the beer pairing – especially the cheese and beer match stands out in my memory as perfect.

  by Anna E.

  
  

• The food is wildly disappointing. Kind of shit. The duck is great, though.

  by Wally N.

  
  

• Inauguration drinking games! Sure the truffle mac & cheese and honey-glazed duck breast are also worth Instagramming, but it's mostly the 555 beers that keeps Birch & Barley a DC best.

  by BlackBook Magazine

  
  

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

• The best brunch ever! Will come again!

  by Andrew

  
  

• AWESOME, knowledgable staff...thanks Zach! Flatbread is a safe bet, but venture out as it's all tasty. LOVED the skate wing. Everything is seasonal, so menu is constantly changing.

  by Audrey A.

  
  

• At this beer-themed restaurant, Tiffany MacIssac's menu of sweet treats reads like the 7-Eleven snack aisle of our dreams—"Hostess" cupcake, oatmeal cream pie. Must order: cashew "Snickers" bar.

  by Bon Appetit Magazine

  
  

• Bitches Who Brunch love B&B's brunch. Try the house-made donuts - which includes a toffee-bacon donut (!).

  by TBD

  
  

• Their brat burger may be one of the best burgers you'll ever eat. And it comes with their homemade mustard for the fries.

  by David B.

  
  

• PB&J Cheesecake is the bomb.com!

  by Stacey

  
  

• Don't leave without having dessert here. The pastry chef is amazing!

  by Lisa M.

  
  

• Try Pastry Chef, Tiffany Issacson's delicious desserts: Bacon Donut, Cashew Snickers, & Peanut Butter S'more. The sorbets are delicious also!

  by Lisa S.

  
  

• The Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart is super. Can't go wrong with 500+ beers at your disposal either!! Wonderful place!!

  by Devin G.

  
  

• If you're coming in for Sunday brunch, make a reservation by Thursday. Or just come in after 6pm.

  by Toneah L.

  
  

• Overall ambiance is incredible! So sorry that I missed the brussel sprouts..I did try the Skate Tartar and it was incredible. The wine list is short but sweet...I sampled a delish Grenache Mourvedre.

  by Sarah H.

  
  

• Great beer selection...if Great Lakes Beer is on tap, you know this is a special place!

  by Daniel N

  
  

• Go to Birch & Barley and sit at the Chef's Counter. Order yourself a Fritz & Ken's Ale: Pioneer's Stout to celebrate Sierra Nevada's 30th.

• wanna try the new brunch

  by Tammy G.

  
  

• The roasted brussels sprouts are delicious. Paired with the brat burger and draft beer, you're set for the night.

  by Lara K.

  
  

• Went on Sunday for b'day dinner which was def a great non-crowded night to attend. No need for apps, the bread platter they offer is awesome, then enjoyed the Duck & Casks beer! Loved this place!

  by Kate S.

  
  

• Sure, you can get an omelet and French toast off of Birch & Barley’s new brunch menu, but you can also order house-brined corned beef hash, fried chicken and waffles, and buffalo chicken flatbread.
