"This hardware store-turned-neighborhood watering hole is popular for its well-made daiquiris and $6 drafts, along with trivia on Wednesdays and live comedy on Thursdays. Customers can order in falafels and gyros from Shawarma Hut next door." - Tim Ebner
"This hole-in-the-wall bar has a relaxed, laid-back vibe complete with a billiards room in the basement. Menu highlights include classic cocktails, wines at $9.50 a glass, and bar food — like wings, mozzarella sticks, and onion rings — served in collaboration with Shawarma Hut, conveniently located next door. Plus, the bar occasionally hosts trivia and comedy nights." - Mekita Rivas
"This atypical combo — a bar and a Persian restaurant — is known for its extensive selection of kebabs, including beef, salmon, chicken, and lamb, as well as vegetarian options. Brunch service is available on weekends." - Tim Ebner
"I saw Republic Kolache establish a lasting relationship with Reliable Tavern in Petworth as one of its regular local partners." - Gabe Hiatt
"At Reliable Tavern, a neighborhood bar in Petworth with a hardware-store motif, I learned that Kapri Robinson had been furloughed and later returned to work the Friday shift; the venue figured into her broader story of furloughs, layoffs, and the precariousness many hospitality workers faced during the pandemic." - Gabe Hiatt
