    A different theme every night of the week from trivia, to half-priced burgers, to poker night. The regular HH is Mon-Fri from 5-7. There are $3 select glasses of wine, $10 select bottles, $4 drafts. Read more

    If you want a hearty salad, go with the Lobster Cobb, it has mixed greens with Maine lobster, gulf shrimp, bacon, tomatoes, hard-boiles egg, onions, croutons & avocado dressing.

    The bacon wrapped meatloaf is amazing! So are the mac n cheese balls- that blue cheese is great. Oh, and the happy hour house red wine is ONLY $3 and actually strong n good!

    Veg heads: 'B'LT and sweet potato fries with curry dipping sauce -- SO yum. Didn't enjoy the mushroom burger. But they also have tempeh tacos -- those are next on my list.

    Special on Monday with 25 cent wings. Great place to watch sports. There is more space in the outer deck of which can be covered during the cold season

    Kid-friendly AND hipster-friendly: this is where you go when you don’t want to cook because everyone is driving you nuts, or where you can grab a boozy brunch with 10 of your closest friends. Read more

    Make your own Bloody Mary. You might have to drink a few extra ones so you can experiment and get it just right. (Eggs Benedict is on point too)

    Fish tacos are awesome, filling, and $2 on tuesday. Sweet potato fries good but over-hyped. Patio is great on a nice day and service has always been good. Excellent neighborhood bar.

    When you're dealing with a beer & rum list as good as this, you don't ask questions & if fresh Maryland shellfish & the best fish tacos in town can't make you drop your skepticism, then nothing will. Read more

    The Cubano is not to be triffled with, and the sweet potato fries are damn good. Nice and chill, an excellent reprieve from the rest of H St. before a rock show.

    The Argonaut is an H Street stalwart as one of the pioneers on the scene. Its menu has an entire section devoted to steamer pots. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Watch out for the mimosas - likely 3/4 champagne, 1/4 orange juice - they will sneak up on you when you least expect it. Happy Sunday Funday!

    Onion rings are delicious with an interesting almost funnel cake batter and honey drizzled on them. Yum!

    Tempting to get a pitcher of dark and stormy but just not that great, even with a lower per glass price. Sweet potato fries are excellent, mussels less so.

    their bottomless mimosas are truly bottomless. And are much more champagne than orange juice so plan to have someone else drive you home. Read more

    Friendly staff. Good beer. And sweet potato fries. Why aren't you there yet? (they did stop serving the cheesesteaks, which I'm bummed about)

    👎 Not sure whether it is a norm, but I paid cash for my drinks and the bartenders would not give change. They would take their own tip. $7 drink becomes a $10 drink!?
