Behrad EatsMay 31, 2013The burgers here, made with Hereford beef, are on another level and the add-ons available are great! I went with The Classic Burger and added jalapeños, Chimay cheese and applewood-smoked bacon.

- Behrad EatsAugust 20, 2014Addictive Macaroni & Cheese: macaroni smothered in homemade béchamel sauce and flavored with 5 locally produced gourmet cheeses.
Burger DaysJuly 4, 2011Huge selection of beer goes along great with the Hereford beef burgers. They've got a slew of toppings including 8 different cheeses (try the Chimay). They also know how to do a proper fried egg on a
Katarina KatsmaMarch 9, 2015Fantastic beer, good people, although one server wouldn't let me try more than one beer. I'm not here for freebies, just want to make sure I like it before I get it.
The Brew NoobFebruary 22, 2012Diverse selection of beer, both craft and import options on tap and in bottles. This bar also plays host to a number of beer events, so check their website for updates.
Washington PostMarch 11, 2013Come for the beer, stay for the burgers. The kitchen uses pure Hereford beef and the naturally beefy flavor needs no adornment other than what it comes with: lettuce, tomato and a sesame-seed bun. Read more
Edgar RodriguezAugust 16, 2014Beer is really good, they always have a big selection of local craft beer.
DonnaMarch 12, 2015Had Classic Burger, cooked the way I asked, delicious. Side salad was just enough and dressing was very good.
Hands down one of the better burgers I've had in the DC area. A little dark inside when it's sunny out, but friendly staff.- Burger DaysDecember 21, 2011Wipps' favorite burger of 2011 was at The Black Squirrel because of the gooey, seemingly never-ending glob of Chimay cheese that topped the perfectly cooked medium-rare burger.

anjalyJuly 23, 2011Great tap list. DJ had random 90s and 00s mixes on and its not crowded for near midnight on a Saturday in AdMo. Good times with a small group.
Victor ZSeptember 9, 2013In 2010, the owner posted an anti-immigrant rant on their blog, saying "Too many come here to ply their illicit trades, take up with gangs and live in the shadow of polite society."
Michael LambertSeptember 20, 2015Friendly bar staff and some decent bourbon make this worth stopping in to.
Absolutely great beer selection. The burgers are delicious. The chocolate stout makes me want to ask for a scoop of ice cream.*** Little known Fact ***Black squirrels were introduced to the Wash Read more
TY HMarch 20, 2012Gross whiskey sour. But the menu sounded delish! Mac n cheese, fish and chips, steak with herb butter..I'm salivating.
The Reuben was pretty good. That and fries for $12. And, they have a great beer selection.
Philip is the best waiter ever. Ask for a little Underberg to finish your meal.
Their burger is in the running for best of D.C. Try it on Thursdays when it's half price!
Sean CantrellJuly 5, 2011Great bar! It has an absinthe menu! And Avalon is one of the friendliest bartenders I've met.
I enjoy places that list their (many) beers by alcohol content. Two thumbs up.
I know this is a craft beer bar (and I love that!) but try the calamari on Tuesday night. Half price!
Lamicane, lambicane, lambicane!!!!! and the onion rings are pretty delicious. one of my favorite bars in AM.
Must try the Aventinus on tap. Said by many to be the best beer in the world, and a real treat on tap!
Great place for beer lovers (especially hopheads). Burgers are delicious.
Great beer selection, good spot to people watch if you sit on the patio
Brian BrandlerSeptember 17, 2011Really unique draft selection - try the Autumn Maple beer they have on tap now!
Ask Melissa, the upstairs bar tender with an owl tattoo on her arm for a wet pussy. Best shot ever.
NightSceneNovember 18, 2010just another typical bar and burger joint. Food, drinks, prices, service, venue, everything about this place scream average. The perks? location, location, location
HALF-PRICE BURGERS EVERY WEDNESDAY. YES, THEY ARE ALL CAPS-WORTHY.
Jorge ValensJune 11, 2011The beer selection is extensive. But, once you find the one you like chances are they ran out of it.
