Emily Rapkoch

This was a great place to go! Within walking distance from all the major sites, good food, and creative beer names - pretty good beer too. I recommend this place!

Keri

Free pretzels with delicious dipping sauce ! Score! Beer is actually really good. I got a flight and liked them all. Steak & eggs from brunch menu really hit the spot! Def will be back when in the area

Mikael Wagner

This is a great place for a group of friends to chill , hang and have great times. Peachy peach martini is delish and a. Amber beer . Shared corned dogs , wings , tuna , nachos and quesadilla . ???? service

Deb Taylor

I know I'm tipping a fair bit here , bit we are doing some leisurely tapas thing. So, to the tip... Try the Southwest Keg Rolls. They will not disappoint. You could pair them with the Pale Rider.

The entrance is tough to find; just go 'round to H & 11th Streets NW and you'll be fine. Their house brewed root beer is FANTASTIC - one of the best we've ever sampled. You get free soft pretzels too!

Larry Thorne

Have been their 5 days in a row. Great good! Slow service! Went last night and ordered a beer , and the waiter said we have no beer !!! It’s a brewing company!!!! But no beer !!! I was in shock!!!!

Richard Revilla

Many many beers to choose from. Wide screens abound and a great pub menu to go with it.

Rachel Zimmerman

Fried green beans are absolutely worth it. Bean burger was pretty so was the mushroom Swiss burger . Service was friendly despite the major crowds. Beer selection was limited but yummy and unique.

Yilen Rodriguez

AMAZING JUICY BURGERS!!!! THEIR FRENCH FRIES ARE ALSO AMAZING! Their cuban sandwich is surprisingly good as well , i'm cuban and i give it 4stars! out of 5! pretty darn good!

CL Burke

Stumbled in because I was in the area and hungry. Enjoyed trying some local drinks in a pleasant environment. Pretzels were a fun surprise.

Bridget Griffin

Happening place! Service was great along with the beer . And they give@you pretzels like some restaurants do bread . An added plus!

The Brew Noob

My favorite pairing is their dark beers with a simple order of beer pretzels and mustard (or cheese ). Makes for an especially tasty happy hour snack !

Adrienne Gonzalez

When it comes to drinking in Washington, this isn't your best bet but when it's early afternoon and you're stuck in NW for a conference , this might be your only bet. Sit at the bar .

Polo Ornelas

Jalapeño martini it's a bar secret; ask Benny ; porter it's the best on beers

Zlata Zubenko

Portions are large and shareable. Ask for free pretzels (the horseradish dip that came with those was delish!)

Debbie Gray

Good atmosphere & great waitstaff ! Kid friendly & food was good! Pub style & free pretzels are yummy!! Onion rings are tasty too!

Will Devine

Can't decide on one of their many fine beers ? Order a highly affordable Sampler, with small glasses of their four core beers and one seasonal!

Gretchen Murphy

Get the fish and chips ! (And don't miss the mustard horseradish dipping sauce served with free pretzels )

Katarina Katsma

Fantastic! Their beer is amazing and reasonably priced. And you get pretzels with your beer , too!

Christy Smith

They do flights on request but be warned: they are large. Probably best to split between two people.

Shivani Patel

Really lovely and attentive staff , free pretzels and dip and awesome pale ale on draft . Wins all round!

Michelin Travel & Lifestyle

The District's oldest microbreweries serve up simple bar tastes in two restored historic buildings ... be sure to try the warm, soft pretzels and giant sandwiches ! -- Green Guide Editor

Melinda Jackson

Great beer selection . Full bar . Didn't try the food. 45 min wait on a Friday night. No room at the bar .

Angie Harmon

First basket of delicious pretzels is free. If you want more, they're only $1 each.

Jenn

The free pretzels were awesome! Loved porter chili & ahi tuna rocks :) Thanks for being so nice to a #Texan.

Dunja

Their starters are huge and still so cheap . I'd recommend the nachos , big enough to feed two.

Andrew Kruley

free soft pretzels are awesome and the wave red and prohibition Porter are the best brews.

Tucker Warner

Got some great beer selection and the location is right in the heart of downtown DC.

Debra Parr

Pasta , chicken , pretzels , beer

Krista Muscarella

Pretzels were unexpected and awesome, cranberry vodkas were strong, and kristy l (our waitress ) was amazing with our group of 14! Highly recommend!!

Rob Campbell

The Mango Martini is so good. They also have a spicy version.

Justin Thorp

Make sure to get the free pretzels when you sit down at the table. You can get cheese sauce and they'll bring it from the kitchen.

Teresa Marte

I love the pretzels they serve while you wait with the horseradish mustard sauce .

Men's Health Mag

The owner says this brewery was the first to churn out booze after prohibition. And they have a drink to prove it: the Prohibition Porter . Order one up and toast that you weren't born in another era.

Josh Knepper

The Prohibition Porter was definitely a good choice! Happy hour appetizer prices can't be beat either!

Jeffrey-Ryan B.

A great place to grab a beer with lunch and have some pretzels too!

kristindownie

if it's on tap , the mesquite rye is campfire in a cup, and quite brilliant

Caitlin Cooley

Great food, they do only serve their 4 beers , so no ciders and they ran out of 2 types of wine while I was there =[

Nicole Farris

If you think you want a steak from here..don't do it. From out of town and I thought it sounded good, but being the type of restaurant it is, I probably should've had a burger .

Ashley Howe

Happy hour is 4-7 and means all appetizers are half price and beers are 3.50

djace

Excellent food & great Mojitos

Genobeva Thomas

You get to take the Margarita shaker with you.

T Marie

The turkey burger is pretty exquisite. If you're on the fence, contemplate no more.

Molly Cushing

Good beer and food, can be a bit overwhelming when busy.

Rob Campbell

Old Bay Wings are very good. This martini is so good.

Kenneth Gillett

The free pretzels are awesome, atmosphere great, owner super duper, and you get to keep the shakers from the margaritas !! Highlight recommended!

DoubleDeuce

To be honest, this place bores me. The huge ceilings just make white noise. But if you want a brewery , they have plenty of capacity. In the winter though, it's an awful climate.

ZUMBACHiCK80 ????

The quesadillas are SO good. So are the nachos . Thumbs up. Good atmosphere.

Deb Taylor

Try the Calamari . It is by far the greatest calamari I have ever had.

Yasaman Mahdian

Cool place for drinks after work and hangout with friends. Nothing special yet expected.
