"At Old Ebbitt Grill I found an undeniable D.C. institution — a place that once hosted presidents such as Ulysses S. Grant and Grover Cleveland, which opened in 1856 and, despite changing locations, remains the longest‑running saloon in the capital and a buzzing mix of tourist standby and beloved local spot where business deals and family reunions happen (I spent an evening at the Oyster Bar soaking it all in)." - Eater Staff
