Appetizers are amazing. Happy Hour specials are great. Device was fantastic. We enjoyed our meals but would say the French fry app was our absolute favorite

Granted, we went late on a Wednesday, so it was slow. But our drinks were delicious and interesting and the bartenders were incredibly friendly--we talked to them as much as we talked to each other. Loved every minute.

Go up to the bar and ask for a street juice! All you'll need is 2 and you'll be feeling nice! The wagyu burger is bomb as well!

A tucked-away gem. Great food. Excellent service. Tasty homemade ginger beer, too! My fav anytime I'm in DC.

Speakeasy kinda vibes! Great spot for date night, romantic drinks and dinner with your love. Drinks menu is pretty comprehensive and the cocktails are one of the best I have had in this area. They have a patio at the back but close that early and the middle area closes around midnight while the bar is open till close. Only suggestion to them is lower the music levels and gradually dim the lights as the night progresses. Will go back again next time I am in the area.

What a wonderful dining experience! From the friendly and helpful staff to the lovely cocktails and fantastic food, we will be back! The hangar steak was tender and just the right amount of game. The burger spoke for itself as well - from a delicious garlic aioli to the perfectly fried egg on top. Highly recommended!

My friend and I met for happy hour here after seeing they do happy hour all night on Mondays! Perfect if you’re working past standard happy hour times. The cocktails were fantastic as was the food. We shared the burger, wings and fries that are on the happy hour menu - all delicious. And the staff here are so friendly along with the other patrons. Vibes were immaculate, we will absolutely be returning!

Nice hole in the wall 🧱, then came covid and they added outside seating that is covered. Got the wings and tuna tar tar with happy hour 16 Oz. It's affordable and the staff is great and it's not only because our server ran after us to return the credit card I had left behind.

Cozy tavern like atmosphere, well prepared food, decent whiskey list. We had the Beet Salad, Brussels Salad, Hanger Steak, Pear / custard dessert. We were originally near the National Gallery where places tend to fill up quickly so we took a short walk to this nice little spot. Unpretentious nice atmosphere.

Stopped into Bar Charley for their happy hour, which is excellent by the way. Good food and drinks, great service, and an awesome atmosphere. Started out on the patio, however it was a little buggy so we moved inside, which was not a problem. Both the patio and inside area are beautiful. We did not have a reservation but were seated right away as a party of two. It started to fill up by 6 or so though, so if you are planning on getting there any later it may be handy to have one. With $8 happy hour cocktails I will definitely be back!

The bacon & aged cheddar quiche was the best I’ve ever had! The crust was warm and flaky, the caramelized onions were placed perfectly so as not to be the main showpiece but an amazing extra. The beignets are a must and blow cafe du mondes in NOLA out of the water!

I do not like quiche. I won’t eat it. I tried the quiche here and it’s the best I’ve ever had and would recommend to anyone anywhere. The fresh beignets are far better than those found in NOLA and worth the side addition. I love this place and will be back

The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable (although the host was a weirdo). We had great drinks--Manhattan, Nt yr prblm, and a Martini. For food it was the pork belly fried rice and the branzini. Both were great. We enjoyed it very much!

Really enjoyed our meal here. We ordered small plates and shared. Drinks were very good. I asked for mine to be a bit more spicy, and our waiter conveyed the message well! Food was great. Will definitely come back.

Came on a Sunday night and they had some of the best steak deals I’ve ever seen! Food was delicious and it was a really relaxing vibe. Also the NA beverages were amazing, we just had a few of those all night!

I had a great experience here. I suggest getting a reservation. Our entire table enjoyed their drinks and food. Even with it being busy, our service was great! I recommend this place!

Great service. Fun and down to earth servers. (Least I did, whatever girl was working with the dyed hair gets bonus points if management is reading, she unintentionally wingmanned so props. Also she was funny) Highly recommend the giggle water. However all the drinks of theirs I've gotten are great. I haven't tried the food outside the fries, which didn't knock my socks off but im not going to judge an entire establishments grub based on one happy hour dish unless it was a total flop. I'll be back (Sit inside. Mosquitoes are bad around there.)
