The District Sports Bar

One of my coworkers told me about this spot cause I'm about that fat Tuesday life and vouched that the daiquiri was on point........ they was right. They also do a all you can eat brunch for about $40. My chicken and waffles was good just wished I had more but that's a fat boy problem. Pssst.....if you check in on yelp you get a free shot.... not the plastic bottle shot . Got myself casamigo..... You're welcome.

Great service and I love the atmosphere. The food is amazing and they have great customer service. The wings a fire try the old bay ones you won’t regret it.

The drink special was bomb Cinco De Mayo weekend. The vibe was vibing, I love finding a place where people of color can come out and have a great time w/no issues. The DJ was dope too, the only eh thing I can say is the food was a really long wait we ended up having to get a refund but we didn't trip bc we were bar hopping. We will definitely be back tho!

DJ 24 is my love, both bartenders are named Ruth & I love them both as well!

Stopped in before a show thinking I would be able to grab a few drinks and a quick bite. When I entered, I was immediately greeted by the bartender and asked what I wanted as a drink. Ordered my drink and asked about food options. She told me the chef wouldn't be in for another 30 minutes. That was the last interaction I had with the bartender before settling up. There were only about 10 people in the restaurant for the hour I stayed. During that time, the bartender smoked hookah with three guests at the other end of the bar, and didn't acknowledge anyone unless someone walked in or up to her. With each update on the chef's arrival I was told soon, and was not asked for an additional drink. Seemed like a cool spot but service can really ruin an experience.

Went here for our vacation first night in the city and we came because happened to have happy hour the time we got in. Got shots and they were literally sample sizes u get at a liquor store. $5 each Then we got a drink $3 for a can. Annnnd our food took like 45 mins to come out but it was alright they charged a $15 service fee ? But the atmosphere was amazing and our waitress was very nice also they search bags intensively guess the city being so rough and it being a bar but Best part about the experience was the aesthetics setting other than that save your money unless you just wanna hookah. If u want good food that’s worth it this isn’t the place but it’s just my experience Regardless place worth a try tho.

The district sports bar gives the best service, our bartender Ruth was very attentive and amazing. The ambience and the food is truly amazing. If u go there u have to get the wings and the crab fries they were really good. They also have the best happy hour in dc they got amazing deals. The hookah is also 10/10.I suggest you go and check it out.

I am writing to express my profound disappointment with the service I received during my visit to your establishmen. I came in with the expectation of a welcoming and enjoyable experience, as your website promotes an environment where “every sport” is showcased and enjoyed. Unfortunately, this was far from the reality I encountered. During my visit, I politely approached one of your staff members, a light-skinned individual with dreadlocks, to request that one of the TVs be switched to the UFC fight. Given that there were multiple TVs available and I was a paying customer, I thought this was a reasonable request. Instead of responding professionally or respectfully, the individual flatly refused and dismissed me. To make matters worse, they later approached me in an aggressive manner that made me feel as though they were ready to escalate the situation further, rather than calmly resolving the issue. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that several people around me mentioned that this particular staff member has a reputation for being rude to customers. This behavior directly contradicts the standard of service that any reputable establishment should strive for. As someone who spent approximately $65 during my visit, I believe I deserved to be treated with basic respect and courtesy. I was not there out of charity, but as a paying customer who values and supports businesses. The decision to close my tab and refuse to serve me further was unnecessary and unprofessional. There is a way to decline a request or address a situation without disrespect. Communication and tone matter greatly in customer service, and I strongly urge your team to prioritize proper training in these areas. Respecting your customers is crucial for fostering loyalty and promoting growth as a business. I sincerely hope you will address this issue, both with the individual involved and at an organizational level, to prevent future incidents of this nature. I look forward to hearing how you plan to resolve this matter and ensure a better experience for your customers moving forward.

Service and staff are great. Definitely a great spot for a group of friends looking to hang out

We went here Saturday 1/17/26 while our niece was at a concert at the 930 club. Location is close. We reserved a table thinking we've never done this and based on their menu online we wanted eat and drink a bit. Menu is not what is available today. All they had was wings and fries. No sliders of any kind. They really need to update their website. What a waste of time and money because they charged for the reserved table.

Pretty damn bad. I don't think they wanted customers. Opened doors like 15 min late. Staff showed up 30 min late. Didn't have any drinks. Some of the worst vibes I've ever seen haha. Almost funny tbh.

Came here after a nice out just for the fries. The Cajun fries here are great, and the music is awesome. Unfortunately the service took quite long, and we had to remind the staff that we ordered food twice. Despite the slow service, would definitely go back for the fries.

If you're looking for a late night happy hour with cheap hookah this is an option. They play decent music and the server every time I have visited was nice. The happy hour options made it a good stop on my Thursday night out.

Absolutely amazing service and such a lovely spot! The vibes were great, and the staff made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

I wish I would've listened to the reviews. I went to district sports bar last night and there were only 2 tables seated in there. They were legit empty. We seat ourselves, there's no hostess, just a big man checking IDs. And we're sitting there for some time so I'm like "oh it's late maybe we have to go to the bar to get drinks" so I got to the bar to ask and the girl says "oh yes, we saw you. Someone is going to come over soon". Mind you she's texting and smoking hookah, not even paying us any mind. Long story short no one was coming to take our order so we looked up other bars and then left.

Stopped by for a couple drinks before a concert. $8 bottles of miller lite was enough to tell me not to come back. Nice music selection though.

Salmon sliders were the best I've EVER had. I'm visiting the DC area and was looking for a bite to eat. I'm usually really skeptical of salmon sliders because restaurants add a sauce to try to mask the fact that they're overdone - these were not those sliders. Kinda expensive to just be the two sliders on their own ($18 during happy hour), but the flavor was INCREDIBLE, so: worth it for me. Vibe was nice, drinks were strong. Music (before the dj) was a nice volume. Definitely wanna go back before I leave.

Discovered this place while walking to my car and decided to walk in. What a spacious new venue to be near U St. I tried the chicken sandwich, fries, and a cocktail. All beyond delicious. I did have to wait a while for my meal and I was the only customer. They made up for it with a delicious meal. I definitely recommend supporting this business though because they are new, very spacious, and the food was great. They also have a late night HH that's reasonably priced. I will definitely be back soon.

One of my coworkers told me about this spot cause I'm about that fat Tuesday life and vouched that the daiquiri was on point........ they was right. They also do a all you can eat brunch for about $40. My chicken and waffles was good just wished I had more but that's a fat boy problem.

$19 for a burger I could have gotten from a tailgate or backyard bbq. $8 for a bud light. No beers on tap. To make matters worse, they kept running out of beer bottles. I'd order one beer and they said that was the last they had of it. I was getting exploited + sold beer I didn't even want to drink. Do not come to this place unless you're into getting shafted.

Tl;dr: DO NOT eat here. Again, if you're savvy enough to care about reviews, just go somewhere else to eat. Seriously... you're basically on U street and next to several other establishments with edible food. My experience: I walked in, sat down and after waiting 15 mins had to go up to the waitress to request food. She said she'd come back to take my order and after another 15 mins never did. So again I hunt her down to place my order. Then I ask for my food to-go, they lazily mention that they don't have to-go plates with blank stares at me.... like, improvise. Eventually we settle for foil.There were many other issues like the rank smell, length of cook time, apathetic staff, exorbitant pricing ($18 for a burger without fries, 20% fee disguised as 'tax') BUT TO TOP IT OFF I get home and this is what I open/bite into... a hockey puck of a burger with a thick burnt crust that was absolutely inedible... and fries with enough salt to send you into a cardiac arrest. Both of these items came to a total of ($27)... I'm not opposed to spending money on food... but when the quality is this poor it's infuriating.

If you're down to pay $10 dollars a beer and $20 for Jameson... feel free. Way overpriced for the experience.

Came here on a Tuesday night for a free comedy show. Limited drink menu, but decent service. Basic sports bar. Not sure I'd return for a meal?

This joint is wack, don't waste your time or money. Everything was wrong my table, the food, and the service.

Last night was my first time visiting this place. I liked the venue and the vibe, but the service was TERRIBLE!!! I don't understand why a place would have happy hour specials and barely serve anybody. I ordered wings and never got them. The drinks were mediocre. They were understaffed and the two lil staff they had didn't know what to do. Don't go in there!!!!

Every time I go to district sports bar I have a great time! The service, food, drinks and atmosphere is wonderful. The last time I went the bartender made me a Hennessy sidecar it was so good I ordered 2. Also their salmon sliders are bomb! I highly recommend going to The District Sports Bar for a chill night out!
