"Admiral is already completely booked out for the night with reservations and three watch parties (for PBS media staffers, Young Professionals in Foreign Affairs, and an anonymous one) taking up tables inside and out. The hostess is surprised by the crowd, attributing it to the huge TVs playing CNN and the $17.99 burger, fries, and beer deal. Stragglers are fighting for seats at its wraparound bar in the center of the city." - Emily Venezky

Amazing experience at The Admiral! The ambiance is vibrant, and our server Amanda was fantastic—attentive and friendly. Food Review: 1. French Toast Sandwich: Perfect mix of sweet and savory, with crispy roasted potatoes. 2. Chicken Sandwich with Caesar Salad: Crispy, juicy chicken and fresh salad with crunchy croutons. 3. Chicken Sandwich with Fries: Consistently good with flavorful fries. Bottomless mimosas were a hit. Highly recommend The Admiral for great food and service. We’ll be back!

Great sports bar in Dupont Circle. A group of us came to town to watch San Diego Padres play the Nationals, Orioles and sightsee. Some got in late so we looked for a sports bar to watch games. Admiral had a great happy hour, location was perfect (we were staying around the corner), and it had a lively vibe with good music. The manager Kravon (?) was very nice and attentive. He Helped us take pictures for trip memories and recommended drinks and food. Everyone came to meet us after the game. Rose the bartender took care of everyone and made a killer espresso martini. The Brussels, wings, and chicken sandwich were great. Thanks for the hospitality DC. Highly recommend!

With happy hour deals all night on Wednesday, a lovely outdoor patio, and delicious snack food (especially the chicken bites with Old Bay seasoning and ranch and the Parmesan fries). I highly recommend checking it out and ordering a Cocktail pitcher, which can fill about 5 glasses. Service was excellent and our server was very friendly and checked in on us consistently.

Last minute booked a 20 person brunch here and they were so accommodating and happy to help with anything! They recommended we switch to the “Party Brunch” option which was the best idea ever, it was such a great time and couldn’t have made it more easy to celebrate with all my friends. I will definitely be back and would easily recommend to anyone looking for a party venue/ atmosphere!

Myself and my team had a great experience at The Admiral! We held a private professional networking event, and served some of their classic appetizers. The food was delicious and prompt. The staff was great to work with; I worked with Andrea day of, and she more than ensured that all our needs were met. We will be back!

Happy hour menu options are great and really affordable! The sliders are especially excellent. There is a large outdoor patio with umbrellas.

A Toast to Kate at The Admiral! If you’re ever at The Admiral and Kate’s behind the bar, consider yourself lucky! We stumbled upon this gem of a spot and were greeted by Kate’s infectious smile and expert shaker skills. She whipped up a round of shots that were nothing short of liquid art. Each one was a unique blend of flavors that danced on the palate and had us raising our glasses for more. Kate’s not just a bartender; she’s a mixologist maestro, a curator of good times, and the heart of The Admiral’s lively ambiance. So here’s to Kate – the captain of cocktails who made our night unforgettable!

Held a small work happy hour here for about 60 people. The staff was very very easy to work with and we had a nice semi private space. Loved the outdoor patio where people could go as well. They offer great snacks as well to go along with your happy hour.
