Burgers booze nothing to lose!

Hidden gem in Brookland. We popped in looking for some emergency carbs for our toddler and emergency libations for us. The service was really great. We enjoyed the burger, fries (amazing fries, truly) and the grilled wings. We will definitely be back!

A brilliant hidden gem for breakfast! My wife and I got to customize both our coffee and breakfast sandwiches, and both were absolutely delicious. Good vibes and friendly staff.

Nice place to have some drinks and snacks. Good customer service. The burgers are not that bad but expensive and little. Others burger places in DC (like Lucky Buns) have as many options but bigger and tastier ones in my opinion. And the sweet potato fries were a no-no. Super dry and no flavor, i don’t recommend them.

Super chill dive bar/restaurant with decent cocktails, indulgent eats, and overly indulgent karaoke singers. Rooftop patio is choice.

I’ve been coming here for karaoke on every other Wednesday and I’ve always had a great time.

Great place that’s a rock venue, bar, and also serves a great brunch!

This is one of my favorite haunts in the D.C. metro. They have excellent food and beverages and they do live music. This is the perfect spot for people who enjoy watching music artists perform in a small, intimate setting. Parking can be scarce, so rideshare or cab is strongly advised. The place is small, so tickets sell out FAST.

Food was pretty good! Chicken nugs were a great price, but the burgers (with fries) were $21 and not particularly amazing. Minus two stars for dirty, smelly bathroom and veryyyyy long wait time (~50 min) despite it not being very crowded. Seems like this place is good for a bottomless brunch, but go somewhere else if you’re hungry!

Has store front, patio, and porch sitting. The downstairs has a bar vibe with an area for bands to play. Upstairs is more sit down dining. The back patio area was so cute! See pics. The service was consistent, kind, and rapid. The drinks were amazing! The food was very good. Only feedback is less dressing on the salad or the ability to add dressing ourselves.
