Tom MaxwellMay 24, 2018Great basement bar to nurse a cocktail in on a balmy summer day. Georgetown peach tea was my fav
Arun RamachandranNovember 19, 2014Beer fries and Tomb's ale are popular and totally worth it. This place is wild on Saturday nights and has the college crowd swarming it. Fun place!
Nancy Lafontant-WhitingMarch 30, 2019I had the Salmon burger and Caesar salad. My husband had the Fried Buttermilk chicken sandwich. Both sandwiches were delicious. The chicken was nice and tender. It wasn’t dry at all.- Arun RamachandranNovember 2, 2014The atmosphere is so electric with the college crowd. Every song and every beat is accounted for. Check out the Tomb's Ale. It's simply the best beer here.
Carolyn ZimmermanFebruary 19, 2015Great atmosphere and unique menu. Had the confessional burger which was a new menu item - very good. Looks like they have good, cheap late night specials too.
Jakka JakkaMarch 22, 2016Fish n chips or the gyro can't go wrong. Off menu the Buffalo chicken sandwich is great.
Jessie Van AmburgMarch 18, 2013"The Corruption" IPA is one of the best beers I have ever had. However, beware: there's a lot of douchey bros that like to come here. So free entertainment to go with your drinks!
Chicken Sandwich #1 and the Cheeseburgers are the best you will find in any bar/restaurant in the World! Hoya Saxa!- Stephen SandersMarch 9, 2013I didn't go to Georgetown but the Tombs makes me wish that I did. Possibly the best college pub in America. I love the Tombs ale.
Order a spiked caramel macchiato, best damn 'shake in the city. I promise you. Perfect to split between two making it just $5 each!
Now OwlJuly 13, 2010When I need a nachos fix, this is my go to place in DC. They don't skimp on the fresh ingredients (thick slices of tomatoes and jalapenos) and refried beans. Fried green tomato BLT solid alternative
They now have a happy hour! Mon-Thurs 4-6 they have $3 mugs of local craft beers. And $9 pitchers of Coors Light all the time
Leandro LageraMay 29, 2016My biggest memory of this place is throwing up...nvm. Guiness for the win and getting drunk and having to walk down a steep hill
Oge MarquesJuly 18, 2012Great beer, delicious food, excellent service, wonderful atmosphere. This is my favorite pub in Georgetown, hands down!
Xavier ASeptember 25, 2014Best mozzarella sticks in DC and I have actually been searching. Best by a longshot so far.
Don PFebruary 1, 2020Atmosphere is awesome! Fish and Chips were flavorless. Coleslaw was the same, very little flavor.

They have sweet potato fries. They're not on the menu. Roast chicken when in season is the bomb.
Maggie MacGMay 23, 2017Go underground and pretend it's St. Elmo's Fire... interesting spot; vintage Georgetown.
maria gutierrezAugust 7, 2013Super great food. Bamba taco was the best. Barbarcoba was delicious as well!
- Babybeartree LMay 3, 2013The Veggie napoleon is wonderful! I'll be merrier if they can make it bigger;)
- Fridays at midnight the place turns into a makeshift club. Beware of the overpacked bar and dance floor though.
Henry ClarkAugust 8, 2013I like to think of this place as my little secret in the historic Georgetown neighborhood!
Chris FredericksAugust 13, 2014Cheap beer and relive your college years. You'll hear St. Elmo's Fire at least once . . .
Connie HaroJanuary 9, 2013The sauce murdered the sirloin. Ask for it on the side. Tombs ale is good!
ConciergeQJanuary 19, 2011Q: What is your favorite smell or taste in Washington D.C.? Ashley Wagner, 2010 US Ladies Bronze Medalist: "Chicken #1 at The Tombs in Georgetown. One of my favorites." Read more
Rudi RietFebruary 27, 2013The milkshakes, while thin in texture, are very tasty and big enough to share.
Don't miss country night on Mondays! $3 bourbon drinks and great music
Buffalo chicken sandwich is by far the best thing on the late night menu
greg smithJuly 5, 2014Good beer but you gotta be weary of any clientele that's ok with a Wehrmacht recruitment poster.
Try the strawberry or chocolate milkshake! Also, if you like goat cheese, ask for it on your salad :)
Whether it's lunch or a night out, The Tombs is always a great choice!
Vanessa GalloMay 4, 2012Fun place for a drink when you are waiting for your reservation at 1789 next door- InternsROCK!May 27, 2011Interning in D.C.? Grab a wristband from The Washington Center and receive 20% off during InternsROCK! June 10-19!
Adam K.February 5, 2012Try the Tombs Ale! It's pretty delicious and generic like the rest of Georgetown.
