    Tater tots, burgers, and small batch bourbons are sublime. If Liz is your waitress, be sure to tip her real well. But watch out for interns - they're loud, boorish, and can't handle their liquor.

    This is one of the only bars in dc that carries boulevard brewery products from kc. Very very good brewery.

    This place is pretty much heaven for a Chicago Sports fan. Watched the Conference Finals between the Blackhawks and Kings this past weekend. Celebrating the victory with fellow fans was priceless.

    Great happy hour specials for the after work crowd. Wings and sandwiches are pretty good, too!

    If you're a Bears fan, this is heaven on earth. Well, heaven in DC, anyway. Good burgers, cheap drinks, what's not to love?

    If you’re a sports fan, you’ll definitely enjoy Union Pub. Sit down and relax at this neighborhood bar while you catch the game on TV.

    Their buffalo chicken sandwich is made of chicken tenders, and no blue cheese. So don't get that.

    This place is alright. They had "fountain" cocktails on NFL Sunday, but they weren't very good. Decent joint, I suppose.

    It's hard to be a vegetarian here but if you must, then the black bean burger with avocado is a safe bet.

    Food is terrible here. Firehouse bloody mary was disappointing, it needs horseradish. The burger was disgusting and the hot wings were pathetic. Probably your typical Nebraska cuisine. Nice patio.
