Quick service even in a rush, but no fall beers so I was disappointed.

I love this bar - great atmosphere, exceptional service, great neighborhood, and very good selection of beer. Highly recommend. Unfortunately, and this is a big deal, the attention to sanitation is very concerning. There is almost ZERO attention given to their bathrooms. I know it’s a bar with young people, BUT it’s unacceptable - and should be inspected by DC Health - because the bathrooms are disgusting, never cleaned, and have no hand soap.

We were vacationing in DC for the week and stopped here for beers and quick food - SO glad we did because the beer selection was great, the patio was super chill, and the food was fantastic. Would absolutely come back here if I'm ever in DC again!
