Corrie DavidsonMarch 21, 2013Definitely a post-work office crowd. The drinks were terrible but the food was great!!! Go for beer and taquitos at happy hour. Good AND cheap.
Official game watch home of UCLA Football and Basketball games! During UCLA games, alumni get $3 Bud Light Bottles, $4 Sierra Nevada Drafts, $4 Bruin Shooter, and select $4 appetizers. Go Bruins!
DoubleDeuceMarch 3, 2015Come here to watch the Kansas Jayhawks play whenever you're in the District. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
Laughing Man is now the new Mackey's location. The menu hasn't really changed. The old L St location had a similar menu anyway.
NightSceneNovember 18, 2010A classic bar. With room and space to talk, this is a great place to grab a happy hour drink after work and discuss work matters or forget about them.
The official Sponsor Bar of DC Social Kickball and DC Social Sports Club. Join us Thursdays and Sundays to learn all of our drinking games.
Juan HuayllaAugust 15, 2015Great happy hour, good place to watch men's and women's USA soccer games.
Ryan RosadoJune 26, 2012Great hang out place. Went there for my friend's bday. Good appetizers and friendly bar tenders :).
Melinda JacksonJuly 14, 2015Good beer selection. No wait. The happy hour food isn't the best but it's happy hour food so what do you expect.
Tuesday night is trivia night. Low key and decent happy hour priced- Miss out on the Spring Kick-off Party? Don't worry, there are more DC Social Sports Club events coming soon ... and more photos you may not remember ... Read more
Watch bar for UCLA Bruins football and basketball. Great place for sports and beer.
Great after work crowd and $4 martinis on Thursdays are the best deal in town!
Steve COctober 9, 2011Nice Bills bar. But the waitress, when she finally showed up, was wearing an Eagles shirt. During the Bills/Eagles game. How did that work out tip-wise?
Katie KSeptember 25, 2011Buffalo Bills fans - awesome bar for the games! Decent wings, Blue & Blue Light specials.
Amanda JayneFebruary 16, 2013Tableside service = sloooooowpoke at happy hour. Happy hour until 8, though, which for some stupid reason isn't standard around here.
Jeremy EdgeJuly 17, 2016Just a classic dc bar. Simple, not good but reminds me of my first years here.
Rice BunnieNovember 2, 2011Food is good but the service is horrible. OMG. Please get more experience cocktail servers!! Lol. I'm sipping on ice right now. (!!!!! 0_o)
Love Liz and Meg the bartenders are so cool..great service
Drink downstairs with Manny and Mark. They are great. But beware LMT often closes early in the evenings (9pm - 10pm), so call ahead.
Drink downstairs, and order a Mark Special. It's in your best interest.
More like Lackey’s (thanks for kicking out the Bills backers, jerks)- The jerk wings are..GROSS. Beer And.drinks on point
The KrautsauceMarch 8, 2012Don't be fooled this is not a Buffalo bar, they only play Sabres games if it's convenient, and you have to ask to change the TV only to get a dirty look.
Service is horrible. Food is mediocre and for a USA soccer match they run out of half of their beer selection by halftime.
No reception in the basement, crab mac and cheese is the shit though.
cori bensonJune 26, 2011Don't bother spending your hard earned money here- the staff doesn't work for it. Non-existent service.

"Daily happy hour from 6-8 $5 drafts and rail drinks."

"For sweeping views and cocktails combined with historical relevance, the Top of the Gate is certainly a D.C. staple worth visiting once."
Bitches Who Brunch - 7.3
"If you want a friendly environment with amazing people, with an added bonus of FOOSBALL, POOL AND BIG BUCK...then this is the place. I went last weekend and it definitely won't be the last."
