This is a very unique local restaurant and bar. Completely restored to its Art Deco glory. It offers exceptional food and finely crafted cocktails. Super casual, it's the kind of place where neighbors meet, revel, and even bring their kids. There is a secret reading room in the back with a selection of unique reads (that you can even check out and take home!- All on the honor system).

One can hardly call this a "restaurant". It's a local joint that's been around for decades and caters to the bus drivers (one of DC's biggest bus facility is across the street). Inexpensive takeout or counter seating. Always have wings and potatoes available for immediate carry out. A reliable standby for those who know DC.

Owned by the famed Thievery Corporation duo, this large space offers several rooms with live music including electronic, jazz, and reggae. Very quiet early in the evening, and offers happy hour specials until 8pm. Locals know the best place to dance is here on Sunday nights. You'll see some amazing moves and breakdancing, which occasionally gets competitive as people face-off to out dance others - but it's all in good fun.

Despite funky exterior, and dark interior, you'be sure to find authentic DC flair. Dave, the owner, has owned a number of illustrious watering holes, and takes great pride in his food, especially his house-made crabcakes. They newly expanded outdoor seating in the front and back, and serve up grilled burgers and ribs from the outdoor BBQ when the weather is nice. Family and budget friendly, Dave and his crew will be sure to welcome you to the neighborhood.
