One of the best beer bars in the world. I personally think better than Churchkey especially if you love Lambic. Their selection of specialty beers was huge and fair prices especially considering the rare bottle collection. If you love lambic you could be here every day of your trip. Some bottles are limited 1 per group. Service was top notch and each person I talked with was very knowledgeable. Overall if you love great beer then this is your place when visiting the DC area!

Hard to find a bar with a better Belgian beer selection and a professional skilled bartender that can make a memorable martini than this one. The food menu matches the quality of the drinks. A keeper for sure.

If you are looking for a place with a great beer selection - look no further. Great beers on tap and/or you can purchase over 500 different bottles to take home. Food was amazing - great salad and fun charcuterie. Staff was knowledgeable and when she didn't know the answer to a question- she asked the manager. It can be tricky to find - it's down an alley right above COS. Highly recommend!
