Went to watch the Scotland v Ukraine world cup playoff match, 2.45pm on June 1. Three TV's showing football, all Italy v Argentina, and about ten total customers. I asked if one TV could show the Scotland v Ukraine match, was told no. Makes no sense to me, I won't be back.

The food was okay . Little over price for the quality of the food it was loud but it is a sports bar but still there should be area where one can sit down and feel like they don't have to yell to be heard.Service was slow. Appetizer came out with the food . And did I mention that they added a 18% gratuity on a Party of Five. My Party of Five

Staff: combative, curt and disrespectful.Food: edible, expensive, ordinary.Overall: Do NOT come here.

I ordered the fish and chips and was given the equivalent of 3 fish sticks and some greasy fries. (See pic and pls note pic was taken after one fish stick was eaten. Fries were untouched)After taxes and some ridiculous service fee my total came to $18 and some change. I would have been better off going across the street to Giant supermarket's frozen section and getting some Gordon's fish filets and frozen fries.The only plus was the guy who took my order was was extremely nice and personable.Definitely will not be back and do not recommend

The good: lots of TVs so you’re guaranteed to see the game.The bad: terrible food, brutal service, high prices, and hidden service fees tacked onto your order. The food I ordered looked like someone had already started eating it, it was all picked apart, and the server acted confused about why I sent it back.

Fun atmosphere, fair drink list. Their soft pretzel left much to be desired and was a little stale. Otherwise it's a nice spot for a bite and a drink if you're in the area.

Found this place after finding a Facebook page for people in the DMV area who are Tennessee Titans fans. It was my first time there and a good one. Food wasn’t too bad as it is a sports bar. Atmosphere was inviting and televisions at every corner. Definitely would recommend especially since the DCUSA parking garage is right across from it for drivers. Only issue I noticed were the screens were different qualities so you had to pick one to focus on if you preferred a vivid, dark or maybe spotty view. Other than that I enjoyed and will be back again!

Go anywhere else instead. The reviews below talking about poor service and combative staff are veeery accurate. The very short man with the dark hair and the mustache is perhaps the worst person I’ve dealt with in the restaurant industry ANYWHERE and I was a server and host for years. I don’t know if it’s a race thing, a woman thing, or my existence just offended him so much that he didn’t think I was worth serving, looking at, or talking to but it was objectively the worst I’ve been or ever seen someone been treated in a restaurant. I can’t even give you a review of the actual food or drinks because I never got any after being there over an hour. The only reason I was there so long was because we were celebrating a really special day for a friend. I tried ordering through the QR code, the item never came, so I tried ordering at the bar to save the hassle for the staff and was ignored and then told he was too busy. When I tried to tell him, in a normal tone, that I had ordered already through app he cut me off told me don’t get angry and sneered at me that he was busy. In an establishment that had about 30 people in it… my party being 10 out of the 30. When we first arrived he misdelivered drinks to our tables (that no one ended up drinking) and things are downhill from there. The whole story is long and no one is going to read past the first line so this summary is the best way for me to emphasis DO NOT COME HERE.

Great drinks and service, Memo the bartender is awesome!

Memo is funny and has great customer service.
