Bitches Who BrunchMarch 23, 2016
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!

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

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.

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

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)

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.
Alex OrrAugust 17, 2011
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.

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!
RyanAugust 22, 2015
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.

Craft beer, polled pork sandwich, DC cheese steak, music

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

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

First time here and I immediately feel in love - great staff, good food (with vegetarian options) and a small intimate space
Kelly CarnesAugust 23, 2011
Their new drink, the basil smash, is delish- and perfect for sipping out on the patio in nice weather.

A wonderful rotating selection of taps complimented by a lovely menu. If the weather is fine, choose the back patio. Read more

Great bluegrass music on the first Thursday of the month with By & By.
Paul BerumenJuly 22, 2013
Loved the environment, great beer in tap and the Mac & Cheese balls were awesome!

Bitches Who Brunch said The Argonaut served the best breakfast taos (Famous Tacos) in 2012!

I love the atmosphere here. And the beer selection is very good.
Sarah MilbySeptember 20, 2015
👎 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!?

Brunch today...Delicious Eggs Benedict with spinach & rosemary potatoes YUM! Had a few bites of mouth watering french toast w/ brie but the coffee was really disappointing :-( Read more

Veggie burger and hush puppies. Try them. You won't be disappointed.

Swing night tonight. Great jam sessions happen at least once per month.

Bottomless mimosas and a make-your-own bloody Mary bar round out an exceptional brunch menu. Enjoy!

Perfect spot to get a seat & chill when the rest of H St is a gong show.

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)
MMA NationSeptember 28, 2011
Nothing amazing about the place, but really great bar generally speaking. Good outside seating, too.
William RandOctober 6, 2013
Very kid friendly, tasty food and decent beer selection.

Also $3 crispy mahi mahi crispy tacos!! Excellent!
Paul NunyabiznessJuly 7, 2013
Don't order decaf coffee or a chocolate martini, because they apparently don't have them. Probably should take it off the menu.

I recreated Stone Henge with my fries up in this junt, jahfeel?
Justin ThorpOctober 2, 2011
Get the fish tacos. They're some of the best in DC.
Ryan TaylorNovember 23, 2009
Sweet potato fries with a side of honey, live music upstairs, and a great microbrew. A DC must-do.

Loving the outdoor bar + the patio is greener than I remember.

Two words: fish tacos.
