Negotiate through the 150-seat high-ceiling beer hall/lounge to its 60-foot bar and select from over 550 beers (50 drafts , 500 bottles) from 30 countries , and rare international and English-style ales Read more
Food is upscale pub food , great beer list , knowledgeable barkeeps, good music and TVs to watch a game. Every seat is full and they say it's not even busy. The arancini are delish!
This place has a lot of really great brews on tap in a variety of styles. Get a full pint or a tasting glass if you want to try a couple types.
Can't go wrong with the mouthwatering Brat Burger topped with beer-braised sauerkraut , and emmentaler with a side of fries .
Can't beat the delicious Disco Fries with cheddar cheese and sausage gravy .
Kind and knowledgeable staff that can help you navigate the beer menu . Tater tots were delicious. The place has a winter-ish vibe - too dark and with few available tables if you want to sit outside.
They always have a great list of rotating beers on tap covering all tastes. Such an extensive beer list , bottles, can, craft and draft .
Serious connoisseurs ask for the beer booklet. It contains the secret beers ! They also smartly have a good menu with more than just traditional pub fare including tasty flatbreads and more.
Beer selection is INSANE! Dimly lit and relaxing vibe inside (upstairs from Birch and Barley). Food is good too. My favorite beer bar , period. Always a stop when in DC.
If you aren't sure what kind of beer to get, just ask the bartenders . They are great at helping to find something you'll like, and will usually give you a splash before you commit to full pour
Churchkey is the benchmark of brewpub in DC. Sitting above the restaurant Birch and Barley, Churchkey host as many of 55 new and unique beer per week. The number of barkeeps shows this is important.
Fantastic in every way. Tartare , pate and pastas were all excellent. Beer menu is incredible (and even bigger upstairs). Awesome bartenders and staff . Love it
Knowledgeable staff if you're not sure how to navigate the massive beer menu . Really crowded on the weekend, come during the week if you want to have a conversation over a delicious beer .
Great atmosphere and very large bar space. This place was crowded on a Tuesday which is a great sign. The Asian wings were tasty but had too much sauce. Awesome beer selection !
Impressive number of taps, but you have to go with the cask ales . This place is an experience for beer lovers.
Definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. Great for a casual night. Despite how packed it gets, it's usually quite easy to grab a drink from the bar tenders
Yes. Just yes. Amazing beer selection , fantastic bar staff--friendly and always ready with a recommendation. (Although really, how could you go wrong with such a finely curated selection?)
Love sitting at the hightop tables near the windows in the afternoon when the sunshine is streaming in. The selection of draft beers and knowledge of the staff is incomparable.
Massive number of excellent beers , some of them very rare--including, the day I was there, Rothaus Pils. Only the second place in US I have seen with that beer .
With so many beers on offer, Bailey couldn't possibly settle on just one wing dish, so he created three homemade sauces for his semolina-crusted, twice-fried wings . Read more
The bartenders know their shit. Tell them what your favorite beer is, and they'll get you something amazing. You can also order 4 oz drinks so you can taste them all.
Great food paired with a fantastic, extensive beer selection . Tide over your wait downstairs by going up to ChurchKey's beer bar .
Everything here is the best. Always. But watch out for Friday and Saturday nights. It's standing room only and totally rough. Check out Drafting Table up the street if you're looking for more space.
That beer selection ! Where to start? Fortunately all beers on tap can be ordered in 4oz tasters , so you can sample a wider variety of different beers .
Excellent selection of beers . Mac and cheese sticks are great to share and the homemade smores are spot on!
An upstairs/downstairs, beer-focused restaurant and gastropub . At Birch & Barley, order the cavatelli and flounder tartare ; at Church Key, Tater Tots and charcuterie .
It kinda goes without saying... this is the best place to drink beer in DC. Take advantage of the staff 's knowledge and try as many new brews as you can!
Really great beer selection divided into easy-to-skim categories. If you can't pick just one, go for the option to get 4oz beer flights . Plus the disco fries were delicious!
Good beer selection . It changes daily. The food menu on the foursquare site isn't the same. IT is best to check the website.
Local bar with a SUPERB beer selection . Great menu and fun cheese plate selection as well !
Mac and cheese sticks are: cooled overnight, cut info 3-1/4-inch-by-1-inch bricks, coated with garlic-infused panko bread crumbs , fired and served with a sweet tomato relish . Read more
They always have a great list of rotating beers on tap covering all tastes.
Must try the Mac & Cheese Sticks made with garlic breadcrumbs and served with tomato relish .
Awesome beer selection . Get the poutine tater tots
They have a large tap list - 20+ the night we were there. But they were almost all from two breweries - one in Michigan and one in Florida. I was hoping for local
Wonderful selection of beers of all types, available in small and regular sizes. Gets extremely busy early in the evening.
Fantastic stouts ! Mala Vida Bourbon (brewed by Montseny) is amazing, very chocolatey and silky-smooth.
Awesome, I mean awesome tap beer (~50) selection, cool bar scene with good food to boot. Strongly recommend when in DC. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Best bartenders in the entire city ! Super friendly and great people to talk to.
Insane beer selection including a bunch of gluten free beers . All three popular varieties of Green's and a lot of others.
Beer , of course! Enough to suit all styles and preferences....try one of the flatbreads for a nice pairing.
So many good draft beers and a super huge collection of bottled beer .
Front window seating upstairs was great but a little drafty. Great beer selections and a nice and helpful staff . Food was decent and fairly priced .
Ask for Eddy. She'll take care of you and she's got opinions on beers that are honest and awesome.
The small plates are delicious: meatballs on a bed of lentils , all of the flatbreads , the tater tots taste like fried balls of mashed potatoes ! HEAVEN!
Huge beer selection , chill vibe. The mushroom toast was delicious and the cauliflower was good.
With 555 unique beers that represent 30 different countries , any beer connoisseur can find what they're looking for here. --Jon Taffer, Bar Rescue (Sundays 10/9c)
So much beer ! Dozens of craft options. Be ready to stand if you're there at night, it's packed.
Amazing beer selection and a menu that always manages to shine. Ask the bar staff and wait staff for recs.
Try the secret Luther burger (breaded chicken and bacon between glazed donut buns ) not listed on the menu. Available only Sundays for lunch !
Was very impressed by this place! Great Belgian beer selection with ever changing drafts. The loaded fries were also amazing - Stephanie DeDecker
A wide array of draft beers. Solid grub -from salads to flatbreads. Delicious appetizers - Cesar Calderon
Nice location, good gose, airy open loud vibes next to sporting venues - Maximum Burger
The pizza is great, but the grilled cheese is amazing! Good beer selection and cool vibe - nice mixed crowed. - Paul Cavazos
The Dolci Gelati gelato is local, artisan and incredibly delicious! - Anastasia Dellaccio
Sunday hh is best time to visit. Maple bourbon cocktail one of best in dc. - Venu
