    Great beer list, and super accommodating when my large group showed up—even though we hadn't pre-arranged anything they let us use the semi-private space behind the bar.

    Awesome! Perfectly diverse beer list and the food speaks to those looking for savory snacks. The management team is incredibly cute and focused on building a successful hot spot in DC!

    Amazing service, warm and inviting atmosphere, beautiful layout. The food is spectacular, and the General Manager walked about to touch base, and provide informed, local knowledge and advice. Go here!

    This place is an excellent place to chill after a long day of conference at the Renaissance next door. They have great food and excellent beer - especially their own brews!

    Amazing. Came with 10 others for a birthday. Great ambiance (elevated area in corner), every dish was delicious (even the ribeye), and customer service top notch. Will definitely come back!

    The food is excellent! You have to try the ten spiced over wings, Korean short rib tacos, and crab Mac&cheese. Overall our first experience at City Tap House was awesome.

    Fantastic craft beer selection - the first three pages of the beer list are on tap. Decent food as well. Nice place to spend an evening.

    Came here with my family, & we had a phenomenal time. Everything we tried was exceptional and got passed around the table. And the service may have even outshone the food! Request Aaron as a server.

    Beermosas at brunch are light and enjoyable and the ribs are insanely good. Food took a little long but it's a huge space with a ton of tables so it's understandable.

    Pretty darn consistent at providing a good meal with good beer. Usually pretty busy with convention center nearby. Get the chicken; something I never say.

    There aren't many veg options, but the ones they have are flavorful, magnificent, and crazy delicious! Go for the Mezze app and the Goat Cheese Honey pizza.

    The roasted corn Flatbread was fantastic! Also the Red River Maple cocktail was on point.

    The beer selection is impressive. But don't show up when it's crowded and wearing a Red Sox hat; you'll be ignored, even if you're seated at the bar.

    Fries are excellent but more importantly they have some really good IPAs on draft.

    Good burgers and apps. Entrees are pretty pricey for what you get. Decent beer lineup but nothing special, just the standard craft selection that you can get anywhere nowadays.

    There for event and was served flatbreads which were quite good. Bar is below lounge area, so a new order is a reach down.
