The Black Squirrel

Good beer list, good burgers, nice staff and somehow almost never crowded, even in weekend evenings. If Adams Morgan annoys you, this place is your oasis.

Difficult to get the bartender's attention, but what bar isn't like that. Once my group did get our beer, we went outside and enjoyed some people watching Adam Morgans' night scene. There are only four seats and two tables, but we lucked out.

Great dive bar in the DC area. Haven't found many bars in DC that has the variety seen in my hometown of Cincy. Lots of craft beers, they don't even sell your typical domestics! The bartenders are really nice, and quite passionate about the beer they sell. They're always looking to bring in great unknown beers from outside the area. Great band while I was there too! The bottom floor is more the dive bar variety, with the second and third floors being more chill. Looking forward to hearing back there when I'm in the area again! Keep it up!

Excellent selection of craft beers on tap. Bartender was super friendly and made great conversation. Gave it a 4 star because we were on the bottom level and it had a very dank smell. I know the building is very old, but maybe a dehumidifier in the back would help? We would return.

The Black Squirrel has a great selection of beers on tap and they seem to rotate them frequently. On Thursday they have half of burgers which are pretty awesome and they offer a ton of fixings for them. The place definitely has a bar vibe but the food is surprisingly really decent. The upstairs bartenders are very friendly and engaging. I would recommend this place is you are in the neighborhood.

Favorite go-to bar with a decent burger to boot. The real star is the beer list that is well selected and typically includes a bunch of local stuff. We also love the usual bartender. He makes good beer suggestions and is fun to talk to when it's not busy.

Great spot for craft beer. Stopped in here last weekend for their Christmas beer event. The beer and food were good but the service was a bit slow. Although it wasn't super busy the bartender and bar back seemed to have trouble keeping up. When we got the check we noticed that they forgot to charge us for two beers. When we pointed this out they took one off our tab anyway. Nice touch. Despite the hiccup I'm sure we will be back.

I don't like giving 5 stars to any beer establishment. All of them can do better. But this place does a great job of bringing solid food and beer options. Definitely the best beer stop in Adams Morgan.
