The Bottom Line is a nice bar without unique features but with good food and pretty wide assortment of beers. Service It will depend on certain waiter but we were lucky to have a nice gentleman serving us. It was perfect attention level, not too much and not too few. He couldn't answer all my questions about beer or food details. But it didn't matter to me. 5/5 Interior The bar has both counter seats and tables. So you will definitely find the most comfortable option to sit. Decorations are usual and can't impress you at all. 3/5 Food Food wise it will be choice between classical entries (burgers, wraps, sandwiches) and common bar snacks. Kitchen works till 10 pm. Food is very good here. 4/5 Drinks, beer Any the most popular cocktails and about 30+ beers are available for order here. You will find classic beer selection and some exotic ones as well. Which makes this place very appealing for beer lovers. 5/5

Visited on Sunday around 6pm. Surprisingly not busy at all! Great atmosphere with holiday decorations for meeting friends and having a conversation (we stopped by another place that had terribly loud music and was crowded. Food we ordered was very good. I would rate it 5. Only minus, wished to have more choices and desserts. But it was a great basic menu and everything tested great. Service was perfect. Quick and nice. Staff came regularly to ask whether we needed anything else.

I'm not much of a drinker, but my partner is and he really loved the vibe of this bar and went there multiple times on our trip. It's a super homey bar. I went and had a hamburger and fries, no complaints. Next time I will try the French onion soup.

Great place. When I'm in town, I always make it a point to go there at least one time. WAY better than hotel food.

We sat at the bar. Chuck and Beatriz were our bartenders. They were very friendly. Chuck's bartending/serving style is top notch. This spot was extremely clean, including the floor, bar area, and the bar mats. I ordered a French onion soup. It came out fast and was delicious.

Came in for a few drinks because the reviews said this was a really friendly place. And it absolutely is. Food was good, bartender was terrifically friendly and accommodating. Beers were cold.

One of the best dive bars in DC! Food and drinks are always great and affordable. Service and bartenders are friendly and attentive. Good music, space at the bar or tables and even outside seating. My go to bar for years!

Great old school bar in DC. Came here in my college days, so it was great to see that not much has changed since then. Just came in for a drink but ended up staying for a few. This place really needs to be a historical site!

The bartender was great and the service good. Top of my fish sandwich was cold, the fries are cut so thin they get cold within a couple minutes and the seasoning was a little strong.
