We didn't go inside, but the food was good and the outdoor seating was nice. Restaurant is close to the capitol but also tucked away nicely.

Vegan fish and chips? Say no more and bring me a plate! I brought my own chippy brown sauce so I could reminisce about grad school in Scotland. The patio was comfortable and not too crowded. The drinks were a bit steep (e.g., $10 for a can of cider), but part of that is just D.C. Overall, we enjoyed and will be back. Don't forget to order a slice of banoffee pie and a cup of coffee to finish up your meal. 🤤

COZY! This is the pub you wish you were at! It's an old pub through and through. Decor is perfect; bricks are exposed, ducts are exposed and painted black, and iron chandeliers hang from the ceiling. On this slow-after-Christmas-day cat videos play in an endless loop on the far TV and 'Night at the Roxbury' silent plays on another other screen with closed captioning. All-the-while Lo-fi techno pushes forward drowning out the conversations of regulars, and the distant ringing of a phone. I recommend hooking a left on your way in and dining in the basement. Located in Judicary Square, and the theme does not disappoint. Legal-ese covers the walls! You'll find yourself surrounded by slogans like "Any road will get you there if you dont know where you are going" and "In case of indictment break glass." -Staff is friendly. -Happy hour specials are excellent. -Fish and chips is outstanding (mini portion is avaliable if you are scheduled for dinner elsewhere) -Not far from courts, law school, Union Station, the capitol, and/or the Department of Labor. ❤ this review?

One of the best British pubs in DC! The Alibi serves up British and American cuisine near Union Station. Friendly staff every time that I've been here. I love the British dishes the best. Legit Irish Coffre with house-made whipped cream and fresh made coffee. Good fish and chips. I like their Happy Hour specific deals. And for dessert a great rendition of Banoffee Pie. The place is cozy inside. During nicer weather there are tables outside.

It was good. The food sizes were a little small. The root beer is really good but it's 5$. Considering this is DC not a bad place to get a bite

I hate to write this review because I’d rather keep everyone else away so that I can eat all the food and drink all the drinks. Amazing food. Awesome drinks. Have the Irish old fashioned (it’s got a name but I don’t remember what it is). Bangers and mash and fish and chips were the best I’ve had anywhere. Bartenders (Ron and Hannah) are knowledgeable friendly and very good. We will definitely be back!!!!
