“We went upstairs to the covered and heated rooftop bar. There were tons of board games to choose from so we decided on trivial pursuit. The beer selection here is phenomenal and I tried my first Lagunitas hoppy refresher, a non alcoholic zero calorie sparkling water with the flavor of refreshing hops! It was the flavor of beer without the calories or the alcohol, brilliant! Our bartender was super fast and very friendly. A great spot to check out if you're in the neighborhood.“
“Food was amazing! Came to visit from Chicago. Had the bacon and cheddar burger. Hubby had the afterburner burger, spicy but delish! Appetizers (Korean wings and onion rings) on point! Did not disappoint at all. Highly recommend. Similar to a pub so not kid friendly (when we went 11pm).“
“Incredible dive bar, very impressive beer list, free popcorn?? Very attentive and efficient service, bartender was 100% aware of what was up. Great ambience/vibes. Couldn't ask for more. 10/10 spot, would recommend to anyone for a quality beer an unpretentious night out. “
“My colleague lives in the area and invited me for a drink and I had never heard of the spot. It was chill around happy hour, kinda empty. Classic dive bar. The beer was cold. By the second drink the place started to fill and it seemed like the male/female ratio was very lopsided to the female persuasion and at first I was like “cool”, and then I reeeally took it all in and started to wonder if I was at a gay bar (which is still totally cool). Maybe it was the vendor selling “Dyke” merchandise, or the fact that for once I was able to enjoy a drink without being bothered by strangers or crowded by yuppies. Either way the atmosphere was conducive to minding my own business and having a good time. The outdoor area is great.The upstairs had vendors with various art and wares they made. I have since learned that the event was actually “Dew Drop’s Dyke Party”. I would gladly come to another Tuesday “Dyke Party” if it’s always so chill (albeit not very diverse).The downstairs also had a bar and around 8 there was Christmas-themed live music of the R&B/Soul/Jazz persuasion. This crowd was substantially more eclectic and in my subjective views couldn’t be categorized as homogenous. Free live music in DC is unheard of so I was extremely gracious.My only complaint is that this is a dive in the heart of the dmv that doesn’t serve National Bohemian. But I have since learned that they allow dogs so I won’t hold it against them.“
“This is such a a great local watering hole. Prices are great, bartenders are even better. This place came highly recommended by local industry workers and it did not disappoint. If you truly want to experience DC, at some point you need to find yourself at the Pug.“
“I walked by the door a couple times trying to find Ivy and Coney, I had not been since before the pandemic. Attended networking event on a Thursday, good space inside and upstairs (heaters on the rooftop). Friendly staff and good beer options - if you are in the mood for a pilsner, I recommend Three Floyds Speed Castle. My colleagues enjoyed the food but I didn't try anything.“
“Wow.... Havent been in for a long while. Far drive and retired and no longer up that way avoiding horrific traffic home from work and in night owl mode . Previously had lasagna and meatloaf to die for ??.Looking for light fare ...ordered the club with chips and real fresh brewed tea.....can't do it justice describing ....absolutely delicious . Five plus hours later ...last part of said sandwich as bedtime snack just as fresh and so mind blowingly good . I want to know where they find real and tasty tomatoes this time of year ....amazing thick slices throughout . Real tomatoes !!! Two thumbs way up ......and ill be back .Tacos folks seated with had .....also just as spectacular ?“
“After drinking all evening we came here late night and I thought it was good! We ordered loaded tots and they took forever so the waitress took them off our bill which was nice of her. Definitely very few GF items here but I got the steak and eggs and enjoyed it!“
“Jimmy's spot always got me feeling some sorta way. It's perhaps the best bar in DC for fools like me. It gets two very important things right: the sound system is magnificent (make my body move in ways I didn't know it could) and the drinks are spot on. And not to mention the DJs working their black magickry with their mixes.“
“Chuck n Billy's is officially open. It was nice to get back hand dancing and line dancing . Saw alot of regular hand dancers in the house great customer service ,security was on site food was fresh and hot. Thanx for opening back up nice environment clean also. ?☕“
“I come every Tuesday with my friends for trivia - best bar in a few mile radius. Staff is always friendly, drinks are great, beer selection is good, and they like to have fun for all of the holidays and other dc events. Can’t recommend enough.“
“Cool place for pretty cheap drinks in the Union Market area. Decent cocktail, beer, wine selection in a no frills environment with pool and beer pong. Bartenders are super friendly and service is quick! One downside is that the bathrooms here are really gross.“
“Really lucky to be able to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2024 in this magnificent pub with a supercharged atmosphere. In addition, we are entitled to beautiful sunshine on March 17 and a really mild temperature. We are talking about 24 degrees. A very nice atmosphere, good service and a few pints of Guinness which did us really good.“
“I came here with some friends after a wedding welcome drink celebration. We wanted a chill place to catch up and chill out. This place is a cash only, divey kind of bar, no big frills and no fuss. If you don't have cash on hand, there's an atm inside. My friends and I ordered beers, rail drinks, and a cider. I was afraid our group of six wouldn't find a place to sit, but a larger group left around the same time we arrived and we were able to grab their tables. Though, I'll note it was papacies on a Friday night. The ambiance is hometown neighborhood bar! Everyone is super nice and bartender was calm and attentive even though it was busy. While I didn't see they offered food, they did let us bring food from outside late at night. So that was nice of them. Def recommend!“
“The bartender with black curly hair was super cool. Good energy. She served drinks quickly and was so polite to two women next to me who kept borderline harassing her about astrology. I wanted to tell them to shut up because everyone else was having a good time. This is my NEW dive bar. Fast, friendly and fricking cool.“
“This place is a trip back in time. If you have forgotten the joys of dive bars with live music, this place is an amazing throw back. It appears to be held together by spit, glue and the love of the staff for something long gone... the neighborhood bar. And the fact that they can keep it going in the high rent district on Kings street simply isn't plausible. Plus, The smoke, like the bars' atmosphere itself, is either an annoying bad habit, or a pitch perfect love affair with the past. It's the ultimate subjective call. You'll hate it or love it. But you owe it to yourself to check it out.“
“I ordered through grubhub & the food was soooo fresh & the container was wrapped in plastic which kept everything hot. I enjoyed the love that went into the fish being as tho I'm pescatarian. I would recommend this place for the fish“
“A literal hidden gem - Tucked away beside the Pisco and Nazca restaurant and downstairs beneath the neighboring hotel (easy to miss). Reasonably priced drinks for the area, karaoke, and and an owner who was involved in helping out behind the bar, changing kegs, in the kitchen, and conversational with guest. If you need a break from the pretentiousness of DC this is the spot.“
“Amazing food!! We definitely were not expecting that. I dare say, one of the best things I've ever eaten. Spicy chicken sandwich with nacho fries. I know it doesn't sound like anything special, but it really was. Great music (lots of ACDC, punk and metal)!“
“Most of my time at Wonderland has been at night for drinks with friends, but last Saturday I popped in for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. We were able to sit on the patio because it was just gorgeous outside, and the vibes were immaculate. If you love people watching and dogs, the patio is the place for you! As far as food, we ordered the brunch burger, breakfast burrito, and a couple bottles of mimosas and everything was so delicious! The staff is super attentive and the wait time for food and drinks was super short, the servers are great! Will definitely be coming back for brunch more often!“
“Managing Part Owners of BTP & db, Kat and Kristina, bring to Life a really cool place where Bronx Pizza used to be right near the Clarendon Metro. They both have lots of experience in the Arlington Restaurant Bar scene, and have brought in only great, friendly employees at the wonderful dive bar section and also in the kitchen. And, by association, they also have brought in great, friendly customers. The food is solid and reasonably priced. The HH, now Monday through Friday, is a standout, and runs 4 to 8 PM. This place at times when I am there remains a hidden gem, and now I am afraid I have let the cat out of the bag, and that really is a great thing, like BTP & db !!“
