A great sports bar with TVs at every booth , but watchout, come weekend nights, you would like this place was a bar and danceclub the whole time. Great time, but you might be fighting to get to the bar

Arnaud Gelb

A great place to eat a good burger or having a quick lunch . Located two blocks away fron the White House.

DJ kills it until the end of the night when he plays the same f'ing songs and drains the energy with that queen BS. I wasn't alive when they reunited.
