Local 16

Their chicken sandwich definitely lives up to the hype! A friend told me about their spicy chicken sandwich but never mentioned how good their drinks or fries were. The food is just stunning and the drinks are really unique. While on the higher end of my budget for dinner, it’s worth it at this spot.

Every drink on the Service Bar menu is delicious! I’m unfortunately picky about mixed drinks, so it’s an achievement if I can find even one drink I like let alone each one I tried: Mango Sticky Rice, Griselda Blanco, and a Margarita all tasted great and came in distinct, cute cups. The fried chicken and mozzarella balls were a perfect way to round out a great night with friends. Patio and interior have plenty of space if you arrive early/make a reservation. Super affordable, and waitstaff are great, too. Excited to come back!

Amazing drinks, definitely worthy of their Perrier top-50 status. While cocktails were moderately expensive ($12-18 each), they were inventive, unique, smooth, and flavorful. The food was standard but tasty and very reasonably priced. Even on a hot day, the reservation to be on the relaxed patio is worth it compared to the extremely loud indoor seating.

Stopped by for happy hour and really enjoyed my time here. The drinks were great and plentiful - many options to choose from. They have indoor and outdoor seating options and seem to fill up pretty fast so it's good to make a reservation if you can. I believe there is a 90 minute time limit but they aren't to strict on this unless it's pretty packed. We ordered fries, mac and cheese, chicken nuggets, a burger and the buffalo chicken dip. The food overall was pretty good, no stand outs but good and not terribly expensive for DC. Will have to come back and try the popular chicken every one talks about. The drinks were really good and they have an extensive menu. The happy hour special and options for it are great as well. I had the old fashion on the happy hour menu and it was solid. Off of the happy hour the highlight for me was the griselda blanco. Will definitely be back for that! Overall great experience here and will definitely be back to try more things off the menu and go back for my drink favs.
