Boris Zilberman: One of DC's gems. Fantastic menu (get the moules), great drink selection, and awesome atmosphere.
Food Network: The restaurant pours more than 50 Belgian brews by the bottle, and has 11 on tap. Check them out at Happy Hour every night from 10pm to close. Via CityEats.com Read more.
Lauren Karasek: Get all of the dipping sauces for the fries--they're a quarter each and fantastic and unique in their own ways. Definitely experience them all.

Andrew Doll: Great neighborhood bar with a small, but exciting food menu, as well as a great draft and cocktail list. Fun/well priced happy hour, with extra daily specials!
Tim Baird: Just like your boyfriend, this meal will not fulfill you.
Tim Miller: When I first came the menu was awesome and they played soul music. Now they serve Applebee's style dishes and play multiple Maroon 5 songs each hour. If that's your jam, enjoy.

Cole T: 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.

Washington Post: 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.
Emily: Wonderful beer selection + ciders. Grab drinks in the large bar area while you wait for your table. Absolutely order Mac and cheese you won't regret it. They also have cheese a la carte to go.
Behrad Eats: After a few delicious beers, you're going to need to eat to continue, enter the Wood-Grilled Burger on a brioche bun with Duke's mayo and house-smoked Tillamook cheddar, add Benton's smoked bacon.
Behrad Eats: Southern Fried Chick-Filet puts the competition to bed! Served on a brioche bun with Boursin cheese, pickles, lettuce & tomato.

Tammy Gordon: Not to pile on, but the Mussels St Arnold w caramelized shallots & duck fat is the way to go.
Azizza Davis: The food is excellent! You have to try the ten spiced over wings, Korean short rib tacos, and crab Mac&cheese. Overall our first experience at City Tap House was awesome.

Kelly G: The Honey Goat Cheese pizza was beyond incredible. I'll definitely stop in next time I'm in DC!
