"This huge spot serves classic American food, making it a safe choice for less adventurous eaters. Larger groups can graze on flatbreads and salads. The parent company also sells burgers and milkshakes (boozy or not) at Burger Tap and Shake next-door." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy

"District Commons appeals to a wide audience — raw bar dishes, Thai steak salads, and grilled salmon dishes all find a home here. During lunch hours, there’s a full roster of flatbreads, daily lunch specials (lobster rolls, for example, are up on Mondays) and even a raw bar selection." - Missy Frederick

"Squash any post-show hunger with the nightly “farm bell” special at this American tavern. The $12 special is offered in the bar and lounge beginning at 10 p.m. (8 p.m. on Sundays) with choices ranging from barbecue brisket on Thursdays to Hawaiian-style loco moco on Saturdays. Those looking to dine a la carte earlier in the day can choose from hearty selections such as a turkey and bacon flatbread known as The Kentucky Colonel; “The Pig Board,” a special selection of ham, biscuits and salami; and vegetable-filled hand pies that include cheese and ranch dressing." - Travis Mitchell

Modern eatery with a menu to match. We arrived during brunch and the menu was varied enough to please everyone. The cocktail, beer and wine list was quite extensive, and because it was brunch, there were also bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary’s. The restaurant has a cool vibe with concrete and wood accents. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. Highly recommend.

Second time eating at District Common. My first visit was great- good service and great tasting food. My second visit was disappointing. The service was still great however the food - or at least the dish I had, the South Philly - was bland. I had such high expectations for the beautifully colorful dish when it was presented, however it was devoid of seasoning and flavor. My friends had the house burger and oysters and enjoyed their meal. We’ll probably try the restaurant again and will try some of the dishes recommend by the server.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. The atmosphere was welcoming and there were many people enjoying the bar scene here The food was fantastic. We had the shrimp and grits, the pasta and the rootbeer pork chop. Everything was flavorful, interesting, new and delicious.

Late review: I came for DC restaurant week. The skirt steak was good. Had to pay extra on top of the normal restaurant week price. The soups were good. I would come here just for the savory butternut squash bisque! Highly recommend the soup. I'll be back for the soup!

I’d say this was a decent meal, but not mind-blowing. The cocktails were good. Overall it was a bit overpriced. We split a couple appetizers, the lamb chop special, and the key lime pie. The pie was the best part :)

A very popular place in the Foggy Bottom area, you need to make reservations if you want a table. However, if you are on your own or in a small group, the seats at the bar seem to turn over quickly. I only stopped in for a quick drink and bite to eat but I found the atmosphere and decor fun and lively. The staff were very helpful and engaging. They have a varied drink menu here and a good wine selection. Be forewarned, the Denizens Third Party Triple on tap, strong! They also offer a great Happy Hour selection at very reasonable prices.

Came here for a Saturday brunch. The staff was hospitable, restaurant clean and food was good. Huge drink list which is always good too with lots of specialty cocktails. The brunch pretzels were a steal and I loved the flatbread.

District Commons is a great place to enjoy dinner or happy hour near GWU. This restaurant can become very busy particularly the bar area. District Commons has some very good happy hours which may be why. They also have oysters on the half. Districts Common has a variety of dinner offerings from hanger steak to salmon. My steak was cooked to order and the asparagus was a good accompaniment. The only downside was the service was spotty and our server disappeared so we were left without water or refills.
