Lyman's

Fantastic dive bar. Really eclectic decor, variety of pinball machines, and good selection of beers. Bartender was very attentive and the doorman was friendly and a joy to chat with. All in all my only complaint is that this establishment is 6hrs away from me so I can't frequent it as I'd like. Definitely a must visit for me on subsequent trips to the DC area.

I had come here so many times in the past with my friends for the great fun and livations, but today was the first time that I came during the daytime to try out their food. I arrived almost right when they opened, and there weren't any customers yet, but the guy watering the plants outside introduced me to their breakfast menu. Who would have thought they they had an actual breakfast menu. After checking out, I noticed one of my favorite food items on there, called the breakfast burrito. It has the most common ingredients. Like sauteed peppers, onions, and jalepeno peppers, but I also requested tomatoes and bacon for the burrito. After I placed the order, I just chilled on their outdoor garden style patio. The patio has a lot of plant life, which I enjoyed. Soon enough, my order was ready, and I was off to he races! The e burrito itself was enough food for two meals for me! This place is awesome on so many levels!

Made a brief stop at this lively Columbia Heights bar. They have a solid beer selection but with a limited draft list. The food menu was my main interest and I ended up ordering a hot dog and chips. Went with an American classic picnic dog with Ketchup, mustard and relish. They have more unique and interesting takes on hot dogs so I'll have to return for more research!

This is a sort of hipster's paradise: pinball machines (♥️), craft beers and a cool crowd. Loved the atmosphere, the prices (cheap, for being DC), and the pinball machines. The coolest of them all, Stern's new version of the classic Black Knight, was the star of the place, but there were some other good machines. There is even an ATM inside the bar (with low withdrawal fee) - appreciated!

This place is the best - a true bar. Great selection of pinball machines, which are maintained well. Offers reasonably priced beers, ranging from craft brews to $3 Hamm's cans. Tried the hot dogs on pretzel buns as well - awesome. Cool clientele and very laid back vibes...haven't been to a better bar in DC.
