Rachel ClarkJuly 1, 2016Great beer list, and super accommodating when my large group showed up—even though we hadn't pre-arranged anything they let us use the semi-private space behind the bar.
Awesome! Perfectly diverse beer list and the food speaks to those looking for savory snacks. The management team is incredibly cute and focused on building a successful hot spot in DC!
What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014This was delicious - Durac Pork Collar with logan turnpike cheddar grits, pork jus, collard greens, smoked paprika
Shazar KanhaiMarch 31, 2014Amazing service, warm and inviting atmosphere, beautiful layout. The food is spectacular, and the General Manager walked about to touch base, and provide informed, local knowledge and advice. Go here!
This place is an excellent place to chill after a long day of conference at the Renaissance next door. They have great food and excellent beer - especially their own brews!
Bernard OrtegaApril 20, 2014Amazing. Came with 10 others for a birthday. Great ambiance (elevated area in corner), every dish was delicious (even the ribeye), and customer service top notch. Will definitely come back!
Azizza DavisFebruary 26, 2014The 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.
Arnd LangguthMay 7, 2017Fantastic craft beer selection - the first three pages of the beer list are on tap. Decent food as well. Nice place to spend an evening.
Leslie Kay StrattonAugust 5, 2014Came here with my family, & we had a phenomenal time. Everything we tried was exceptional and got passed around the table. And the service may have even outshone the food! Request Aaron as a server.
Alicia PappasJanuary 25, 2014Beermosas at brunch are light and enjoyable and the ribs are insanely good. Food took a little long but it's a huge space with a ton of tables so it's understandable.
RyanMay 25, 2015Pretty darn consistent at providing a good meal with good beer. Usually pretty busy with convention center nearby. Get the chicken; something I never say.
Carrie NationDecember 5, 2013There aren't many veg options, but the ones they have are flavorful, magnificent, and crazy delicious! Go for the Mezze app and the Goat Cheese Honey pizza.
Behrad EatsMarch 23, 2014Must try the Blue Crab Mac N' Cheese with jumbo lump crab and fontina cheese. It is fantastic!
Neal JosephSeptember 8, 2015Fabulous, heavily local beer list, with 2 beers on cask. Burrata was incredible.- Arnd LangguthMay 5, 2017Good food and a fantastic beer selection. The first 3 pages of the beer list are on tap!
Kelly GJune 13, 2014The Honey Goat Cheese pizza was beyond incredible. I'll definitely stop in next time I'm in DC!
jillybeans32June 20, 2015The roasted corn Flatbread was fantastic! Also the Red River Maple cocktail was on point.
Gary HaferJune 5, 2016The beer selection is impressive. But don't show up when it's crowded and wearing a Red Sox hat; you'll be ignored, even if you're seated at the bar.
Morgan ThomasDecember 4, 2014The service is GREAT!! But that mac & cheese is too runny for my (fab) taste, get the wings tho, they banging!!!!
Magnus JernJanuary 29, 2017Fries are excellent but more importantly they have some really good IPAs on draft.
Trish TheDishAugust 10, 2014Good food and great tap/beer list but there is no excuse for frosted bathroom doors, sorry. Get some regular doors, please!- Danielle DaSilvaJuly 13, 2018Huge beer list and perfectly paired snacks. The Mexican Street Corn Dip is amazing!
Annelise TarnowskiMarch 20, 2014If ever in DC, this is the place to go. Service that rocks, and can practically predict what you're in the mood for.
Very good food and great rotating tap handles. Someone finally broke the curse of this space!
Good was surprisingly fresh and flavorful. Much better than typical bar food.
Delicious Tartuffo pizza and great draft selection, including local brews
Doug WMarch 4, 2017Good burgers and apps. Entrees are pretty pricey for what you get. Decent beer lineup but nothing special, just the standard craft selection that you can get anywhere nowadays.
Courtnee DavisDecember 23, 2015The Big Chic is the perfect choice. This has a bit of everything in one choice.
Joe WinnMarch 21, 2015There for event and was served flatbreads which were quite good. Bar is below lounge area, so a new order is a reach down.
Good service, good food. (one bad beer - the cider - but let's hope it's an outlier!)
Fantastic rotating taps. Never had a disappointing bartender.
