Richard RevillaApril 2, 2015Great food in DC and this trendy place tops the list. Valet parking hip crowd modern decor all with excellent food and in your for a good night.
Behrad EatsSeptember 30, 2014They have delicious crispy flat breads to go along with their extensive drink menu. I recommend the Lamb Sausage, made with roasted eggplant, kalamata olives, feta cheese and pomegranate molasses.
Katherine AlexanderJuly 16, 2018Gluten-free crab cakes were exquisite. Pretzel bread (with gluten)was heavenly. Asparagus delightfully charred with tasty complimentary pepper. Chili was smoky and with real meat not ground beef.
David DerrickAugust 20, 2014Exciting menu! Really good food. Tasty cocktails too. One of the best appetizers in town is the Pig Board, don't miss it!
- Behrad EatsDecember 8, 2015Really great flavors in the Korean Grilled Rack of "Pork Chop Hill": Quick Kimchi, Crispy Rice Cake, Spicy KBBQ Sauce
EaterMay 14, 2012All-American is both the culinary and the design emphasis here, and they've got a raw bar, 99 bottles of beer and charcuterie served on pig-shaped boards. [Eater 38 Member]
Gina BargaOctober 28, 2016Mussels and Duck are amazing! Great staff and ambiance. If VP Joe Biden goes here you know it's good!
Bitches Who BrunchJanuary 11, 2014The Bitches Say: C+. Guests enjoy the bottomless deal, and it’s great for large groups, but the food at District Commons is seriously hit or miss. Winner of the Best Place for Groups Award in 2013!
Divya MoolchandaniOctober 22, 2013Absolutely order the pretzel bread to start. The staff was beyond attentive and it was a great dining experience. I'll definitely be back.- The old fashioned is one of the best I've had, especially at the happy hour price. Its a pretty big low ball glass too
Max FrankelAugust 24, 2013Great beer selection. Burger is amazing...basically a pulled beef sandwich. Great mussels. Pleasantly surprised to say the least.
Iryna ShymkoApril 4, 2013Nice place. Salads and snacks are good, delicious entrees. Very interesting wine card with different unusual options. Pretty expensive place.
Jim GoudreauOctober 9, 2015Pretzel bun and the short rib burger. Also, dinner bell menus at 10PM are great deals and very tasty.
Tania RionMarch 12, 2016One of my favorite places in DC. Very good for large groups, celebrations... Just a great spot!
Tasting TableMay 10, 2012Come on Tuesdays for a meal from sister establishment Burger Tap & Shake: two signature burgers with American cheese, two sets of fries and two cold PBRs: Read more
Samuel HamzemAugust 6, 2016Excellent food!! You should try the pretzel and the flatbread bruschetta!!
Louis ScaglioneDecember 30, 2013Caesar salad and salmon were great. Beer, wine, and liquor selection was incredible
Andrew FalsettiJune 19, 2012The specials are a good deal for what food you get. The food is amazing and the drinks are great!
Gavin ParkerAugust 1, 2012The French Fries are incredible worth getting a side of, also awesome beer selection. Hooray beer!
Justin ThorpJune 10, 2012The burger is made with beef short ribs instead of ground beef. Meat melts in your mouth. Delicious.
Unfortunately four out of the five bartenders suck! Look for the curly dark-haired tall guy. He's great. Also...Try the chili. It's awesome!
Best, and I mean best by a long shot, crab cakes. Ever. All jumbo lump backfin, baby.
Best flatbreads in the city! Try the Proschuitto, with blue cheese, figs and port wine syrup!
GoLacey GoDecember 14, 2014Slooooow, unenthusiastic waitstaff. Took almost 10 minutes after being seated to get water. But the food was good!
- 1) Ask for JP and Kevin when it comes to the bar! 2) Any of the seafood is amazing
Shrimp and grits and Foggy Bottom. Great meal. Pretzel was the bomb.
ToneJanuary 2, 2015Nice range of lunch choices. Roasted pepper flatbread is tasty. Avoid certain waiters who are rude and judge your food choices despite being overweight
Vino50: Grape American Road TripMarch 18, 2012Here you can try wine from Colorado, Michigan and New York. Get some oysters while you are at it....
Mikhail BDecember 23, 2012This place has great wall art of America's bygone eras. Keep an eye out for the Norman Rockwell reprints.
Walburga A MarderFebruary 19, 2013go for the flatbread & a huge choice of beers on tap during Happy Hour
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Robert Wiedmaier, chef of Brasserie Beck, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Texas chili con carne. Read more
Pretzel bread is fantastic, as are many of the bartenders- Last Monday of every month is Keg Killer night! $3 drafts from 6-Close. 20 beers on tap!
Miguel Gutierrez RodriguezDecember 21, 2014The service at the bar is a mess, but the oysters are excellent!
- MichelleNovember 18, 2014Went during dinner time. Our waiter was rude but was quickly replaced with a better one. The food was very good.
Must have the pretzel baguette w beer mustard butter. On Sundays $1 Bloody Marys w brunch!- Behrad EatsOctober 24, 2011The District Commons "Burger" is unlike any burger I've ever had, must try!
