City Tap House Penn Quarter

This place is a lot of fun. I just experienced them playing a game at the bar where the winner took home a grill. Poor guy had to break it down into a few pieces to fit it in. I really wanted a burger after my long walk around the city. This place delivers the burger well made and fries with my mustard as requested. The burger was made medium rare just like how I like it. the bun isn't too saggy but can use some work. I wish there were more fries with the burger but it's better for my waist line. There are about 20 beer on the tap. I get to try four before I decided. I wish I can remember which one I had but that is okie. The advise is to try as many as you like before you settle. The bartender has a good sense of what you might like if you tell them a popular brand. The place is huge. Tons of space on a weekend afternoon and you might win a grill.

Loved it. Fun atmosphere, food was really good. My only complaint is that the Brussels were a bit too salty for my taste, but still very good. Service wasn't excellent, but it was happy hour and they were busy. Yes, it's pricey, but dude, it's DC. We had several beer flights, ahi tuna (better without the herbs as they overpowered it), street corn dip, pretzels and cheese, and 5 spice wings. Everyone left happy, other than my wallet.

The hostess was very nice, letting us know they were booked but had seating outside which we took. I think the waiter had made our experience very bland and short. He seemed like he was inconvenienced. After we sat down the area filled quickly. The kids food wasn't good. The bunny ears on the cheese pizza weren't cooked all the way and it was 10$. They have vegetarian options, The Althea was yummy but too big for one person to eat. The honeysuckle mule and veggie burger was really good. The bill came out quick when we asked for it. Didn't even stay for dessert.
