"Walking into the Georgetown townhouse that houses 1789, I immediately felt transported by the tall gas lamp and English Tudor‑style foyer; the restaurant began in 1962 when Richard J. McCooey opened a basement pub called The Tombs and developed the upstairs into a formal dining space with six rooms filled with antiques, early maps, paintings and prints from his personal collection." - Eater Staff
