Spirits of '76

I came here for an office lunch and left full, but not completely impressed. It's a nice venue, big enough for our office of 25 people and then some, right along the main Clarendon strip. First thing I noted was our service was really great and our waitress was very friendly. The food quality is what I found most disappointing. We ordered loaded nachos for the table, which could have been good, if the chips weren't either stale or soggy from the toppings. For the entree, I got the Country Fried Steak. The dish looked amazing, but one bite of the steak revealed otherwise: It was very overcooked to the point where some of the fried breading tasted a little burnt. The brussel sprouts were okay (a little too garlicky imo), but at least the mac & cheese and cornbread were on point! I will note that my co-workers really enjoyed their meals and the portions are very big for the $$ amount. I don't have any inclination to return, but will post an update if I do.

Kind of pricey but food was delicious and drinks were strong. Atmosphere is just right for a quiet evening. Will return should I get the inkling. Only down one star because I'm very much a value oriented consumer and I prefer more conservative prices. So take my review for what it's worth.

Check this place out now. I mean, right now! We went on a Friday night and it was busy, but that didn't matter wait wise. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and told about how long we would wait for a table, then given a drink menu. Staff was very attentive and quick to serve food and drink. Basically, this place is amazing. We will be back to this hidden gem!

It's always nice to sit back and open a app...to get great food come to you😁. I do have to say that I enjoyed this food, but i feel it's missing some of the soul food😚😚😚😚😚

This place has a special vibe, great ambiance, rock music at the right volume, friendly staff. Food is vast and tasty. I bet you won't be disappointed if you come here. It's also a bar, so nice place to grab a drink and chat with friends.

I really like this place. I'm dying to try the steak, but the meatloaf, crabcakes, fried chicken, and pork-chops are to die for. Drinks are very good as well, my favorite is the old fashioned.

Great bar with a nice selection of whiskey cocktails. Love the atmosphere, very appropriate for DC.

The bar staff is very friendly,the atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Not too hard to maintain conversation at the bar. Old fashioned cocktails are also on point. This became one of my favorite spots for whisky. Will definitely be coming back!!
