The Bottom Line

Bar & grill · Downtown

"Established in 1979, this below ground, Dupont Circle dive bleeds strong for the Reds and Bengals. It opens by lunch each day with a fairly lengthy menu (for better or for worse), including seafood, wraps, tacos, burgers, and tots. Happy hour runs (4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) features $5 margs and rail drinks, $4 Coronas, and $7 nachos." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
