During the fall go withy the Brooklyn Oktoberfest. Can't go wrong with that!
Always a good DJ spinning upstairs. Probably has my favorite soundtrack of any bar in DC.
Ben TannenbaumApril 22, 2010Try the special (whatever it is)! If the chef considers it a special, you can bet its going to be amazing.- Danielle RicksSeptember 26, 2010The scallops appetizers are so amazing and don't leave without trying the chicken and waffles!
Mondays at Marvin are great. Just know that if it's your first time and you act up, the regulars will put you in check.
D'Yvonne KeySeptember 5, 2013It was great, nice food, nice atmosphere and perfect for the night life!
Cami BenedictoFebruary 6, 2011Don't make the mistake of wearing stilettos to the rooftop bar - you'll ruin your shoes when they get stuck between the wooden boards!
chicken and waffles are excellent. Tues upstairs with Keenan is a lot of fun.
Monday nights are the best for dancing and minglin'-watch out for the elbow matches
the warm toffee cake with salted caramel ice cream is amazing!
Thomas PruittAugust 7, 2012Groovy place for 30-somethings who aren't boring, but it can get wicked crowded.
You've gotta go on Mondays when DJ Stylus is spinning. also, try the shrimp and grits!
Come to Marvin on Tuesday nights for Home Base with DJ Daniel Biltmore!
Shari SteeleNovember 23, 2010First time here in a Monday... This DJ is so on Point... And the drinks are well poured...
