American Ice Company

Chill bar with a semi-grunge vibe offering great prices on an awesome whiskey selection and mason jars of beer ! BBQ menu may be short , but it's all quality, delicious, and WORTH IT!

I really miss the Republic Kolache residency here, and I wish dogs were allowed on the patio . But the swachos are still tasty.

It's charming, industrial, and a great place to enjoy an expansive selection of craft beers , from PBR to Tokyo Black, and a brief, but satisfying menu of sandwiches , halfsmokes, and pork nachos .

I love their BBQ chicken and pulled pork nachos . Actually, all the food I've tried has been very good! It's seat-yourself though so it can be hectic and the bathroom line can be ridiculously long.

Happy hour mon-fri 5-7pm. When it rains you can get $3 drinks. Check the menu for their specials

Isn't it enough to sit with 14 of your closest friends at a long counter and drink strange beers out of colorful cans? While enjoying house-made smoked meats and special, secret-recipe Slim Jims?

Look, order a plate of the swachos , the mixed pickle , and then get a beer with a pickle back . If that doesn’t fix you up, you’re in more trouble than fixing can be.

Outside is definitely the place to be on a beautiful Summer or Fall night. But if you can't find a spot, fair warning, inside is VERY loud !

Great bar , it was packed for a sports game but overall it was an enjoyable atmosphere and an enjoyable time.

Can't say enough great things about this place. Fantastic atmosphere with the outdoor seating , amazing food (try the nachos ) and unique beer selections .

Love the drinks here. Also when you need food, the swachos are an amazing deal and super delicious

Get the swachos ! They are nachos with the most delicious house smoked pork on top . Delicious!

Chiller than most bars in the U St area, this converted garage is a great place to grab a drink outside in the summer months .

Swachos = swine nachos = nachos with pork . Wonderful, friendly service . Good beer selection that is fairly priced , especially for DC!

Fun bar with a hip atmosphere . Just don't watch them making the queso behind the bar ...

Come to the patio of this barbecue-and-beer bar to try our favorite midafternoon snack food of pork-topped nachos--named swachos : Read more

The staff is awesome here! Great atmosphere and beer selection , as well as quality mixed drinks .

Good beer selection . Awesome environment. Food is great on paper, merely fine in practice.

Combo plate with pork and brisket . Pickle sampler. There ya go. Oh and what ever the seasonal draft is.

This is a really fun bar to have a beer in. Veggie Nachos are awesome.

SPIRITS IN BLACK! Top notch drinks during SIB, possibly some of the best I've had in DC. Great soundtrack too.

If you'd like to have the greatest combo possible get blueberry pancakes , fish tacos and fried chicken

Very hip bar with reasonable prices. Crowded , but a fun atmosphere .

Perfect for a good casual drink with a friend or two. Never too crazy.

They have a great rye selection, including many from high west that are exceptionally priced.

Perfect for game day but not distracting with its tv . Great bartenders

Great place to go for a quick bite and beers before a 930 club show. BBQ pork ... get in my belly!

You can't go wrong with the Swatchos . Pulled pork on top of nachos .

Great atmosphere, can't wait for more summer nights here

Things often heard while meeting new friends: "I like this place." Also, pickle backs .

If your phone is dying, there are electrical outlets under many of the tables inside!

Sit outside, get the swachos . Great bar .

Divey bar but everyone here is v friendly .

The food does go fast but it is very fresh. Try the brisket sandwich with an Old Fashioned just a good combination

Hip spot. Decent beer selection . Hipster .

Great find near Howard. Very hip bar .

come drink out of a mason jar and spy Ben Olsson stealthily sitting by the bar .

The staff is helpful and laid-back

Pork sandwich is where it's at. Comes with amazing slaw .

Order the swachos and the pork sandwich . Drink DC Brau , stay away from the Czechvar.

Cool outside seating .

Veggie Chili is good, Moscow mule is pretty lame

Right near the 9:30 Club this place is clutch for good brews.

Swachos . One order per person. Trust me.

Order your beer in the hipster hoppy ipa in the ball jar.

Good atmosphere, great brisket .

Beware the hipster buttcrack; men's skinny jeans don't stand a chance against all the hip metal stools here!

Awesome pork BBQ and brisket !

Cool people.

Swachos . Also this place is always 100 over capacity
