Favorite go-to bar with a decent burger to boot. The real star is the beer list that is well selected and typically includes a bunch of local stuff. We also love the usual bartender. He makes good beer suggestions and is fun to talk to when it's not busy.

I don't like giving 5 stars to any beer establishment. All of them can do better. But this place does a great job of bringing solid food and beer options. Definitely the best beer stop in Adams Morgan.

Craft beer enthusiasts will love this place. They always have a wide variety of beer styles on tap with the occasional rarities. Food is pretty great too.

Excellent selection of craft beers on tap. Bartender was super friendly and made great conversation. Gave it a 4 star because we were on the bottom level and it had a very dank smell. I know the building is very old, but maybe a dehumidifier in the back would help? We would return.

Legit beer list that is in top category for the city. Food never disappoints. If you get the wings, can't go wrong with the mojo sauce. The upstairs and downstairs bars offer slightly different feelings from night to night.

We made it right after happy hour which ended at 8pm. But we still enjoyed some good beers. Open Mic night was pretty cool. It wasn't crowded. The patio is nice.

Great dive bar in the DC area. Haven't found many bars in DC that has the variety seen in my hometown of Cincy. Lots of craft beers, they don't even sell your typical domestics! The bartenders are really nice, and quite passionate about the beer they sell. They're always looking to bring in great unknown beers from outside the area. Great band while I was there too! The bottom floor is more the dive bar variety, with the second and third floors being more chill. Looking forward to hearing back there when I'm in the area again! Keep it up!

★★★★☆ 4/5
A no frills bar with one of the best rotating selections of craft brews in the city. Prices are a bit steep if you're not a craft beer enthusiast and they don't offer happy hour drink specials, but a local favorite that shouldn't be overlooked on the busy 18th Street corridor.

Had attended The Black Squirrel for a college alumni meet. Nice place and good beers. Service was very good. Good place to get a beer in Adams Morgan. A short walk from the nearest Metro stations (Woodley Park, U Street).
