Ben RMarch 9, 2016Quieter than a lot of the neighboring bars, great beer list, and bar pizza (especially when it's $7 a lie on Tuesday)
The fries are amazing. The pizza is awesome. The burgers are 🙌🏼👌🏼👍🏼. Black jack has never played a bad song. 💯 find me here on Fridays playing bocce
Irena PierovaOctober 1, 2016very cosy small coctail bar. dc little brother of nyc 'angels share', but more noisy ofcouse...
Kevin KestlerNovember 19, 2015Great bar with a cool, laid back vibe. Delicious cocktails. They make a mean old fashioned.
Teri RushkaSeptember 3, 2014Mussels! And great drinks. Fries are seriously over salted. Oh ... If you're over 40 go before 9. :)
Megan WillettDecember 31, 2016Great spot above Pearl where you can order their oysters if you couldn't manage to get a reservation!
Tasting TableMay 10, 2012Share a plate of stacked nachos, which look like little chip-based sandwiches, encasing bite-size heaps of duck confit and rosy barbecue sauce under tangy avocado-tomatillo salsa: Read more
Katie RunyanFebruary 16, 2017Came early for hh on a Friday. $11 for a pound of (delicious) mussels! And half off oysters if I remember correctly- Jannica RobertsonNovember 26, 2011Oysters from Pearl and Duck Confit Nachos...paired with special cocktails made my bartender, Micah Wilder. You simply cannot go wrong. Seriously!
Rohit is the best bartender in the city. Have him whip you up a craft cocktail. 👌🏻
I can knock back Maple Derbys like they're nothing. So delicious. My partner loves their Sazeracs.- Jan-Nicolas VandervekenJanuary 6, 2013Great ambiance, bocce (who knew it existed) and random friendly people offering drinks. When in DC, stop here.
- Chris Miranda is the best bartender! And Micah Wilder's hand-crafted cocktails are very creative- if you enjoy bourbon, try the maple derby!
- Robb FitzsimmonsJuly 26, 2014Washingtonian recommends the duck nachos and chili dogs, and the Paloma cocktail.
- They took away bocce and turned that area into a bar called Tilt. Neat bar, but I miss bocce. 😢
E. Jay will take care of you right! Ask for an Old Tommy Collins if you have a sweet tooth.
Gautam ChowdhryJanuary 17, 2012DC Bocce Premier League plays here. Get a team and enjoy discounts on food and drinks during league play!
justen fDecember 5, 2013A great place to not get served by bartenders who think they are, well, just one of them is a jerk but he runs the place so just go somewhere else.
Leandro LageraMay 7, 2012Try the Mango Margarita - Yumhttp://www.foodnomad.net/2012/05/black-jack.html
If you're lucky enough to get a table... Guard it with your life.
Lina P.October 16, 2011Very nice place but been sitting at bar for 15 mnts and no beers yet. Bartender busy socializing... Not cool
