The service has always been solid. I understand the appeal of themed bars but I would have settled for a normal bar/restaurant in Columbia Heights.

I think it was some kind of veggie entree with mushrooms and polenta, maybe? We had some of the rarebit too, I think, and recall that being tasty as well. On the other hand, I thought the beer selections were kind of underwhelming - not bad, but only a few things I could not pick up at a moderately well-stocked grocery.

However, the apps were yummy. I'd say go there for drinks and snacks and leave it at that! Do they have a happy hour? Would have to be pretty great to compete with The Heights, which has cheap drafts and $6 burger + fries at happy hour (cheaper than you can buy it at five guys!), plus other great food deals. All that said, can't wait for the other new resturants to open up on the street!
