Bar Charley

The service was atrocious. We were basically ignored the entire meal. We attempted to order a bottle of wine because we thought this would mitigate the bad service (wouldn't need to order another round after we finished our first glass); then our waitress forgot to put the order in. As an apology, she got us shots - but also made sure to get one for herself. You're rewarding yourself with a shot for poor service?!Most of the food was unremarkable - the appetizer tuna presentation was kind of funky (a dip? which I had never seen before). The cacio e pepe mac and cheese was fine, and the Vietnamese green beans...weren't Vietnamese at all. I will say that the rib eye was delicious!

Attended happy hour here on Saturday - points for having HH on the weekend! Tried the Giggle Water which is like a Blue Hawaiian citrusy drink - it was delish! The bartender also made me a special drink called a Namayo and I think that might be my new go to - yum! The wings were really good, however the fries weren't my favorite just because I'm not big on loaded fries like that. This bar has a dive bar feel to it with the lights low and playing some good tunes! I really enjoyed this spot and will be back!

Really enjoyed the brunch. The host waspleasant and seated us promptly. Although it's a small place, you don't get a crowded feeling. The food was really good. The beignets had good flavor (not doughy or oily) and were surprisingly small, more like bites. The American breakfast, quiche, and burger were all throughly enjoyed. I would recommend for sure. The experience was reduced my one star because of our server. -- wasn't attentive and had to be flagged for almost everything we wanted. Never mentioned a name. We asked for fries without seasoning or salt, and she said "they are not seasoned." You know we received fries with salt, right? Never asked how our food was and things of that nature.

Bar Charley is a bit of a hidden gem -- although it's always bustling so maybe it's not that hidden! It's a perfect place to meet up for a drink and some apps, but it also has a great full menu if you want a full meal. My favorites here are the chicken paillard and the potato hash brown!

Great bar food and drinks! We sat in the back patio but felt great with the fans on. Cute little place in DC. Our kids ate the burger and satay chicken. Someone please tell them what Korean fried chicken looks like. We came on a Monday when it's happy hour all day. We only saved a couple dollars so it's not really worth it.

Cannot beat the price of the happy hour punch here! It was only $6, a rare find in this city. Some people in my party ordered food and it was good from the bites I had. I would return!

Stopped by to use my Guide to Imbibe. Enjoyed the Sage Advice, along with a cinnamon bun. Both were delicious. Sat at the bar, since I was dining solo. The bartender was lovely and welcoming. She provided great conversation and recommendations. The bar was empty, even though it was during brunch service.

This was our second time visiting Bar Charley for a happy hour. We didn't have a reservation, so they asked that we sit outside in the patio. They do have some sort of heating system, but I was seated next to the wooden fenced wall, so I was very cold. The funny thing was that the restaurant was practically empty the entire time we were there.I ordered two Moscow mules, to be honest, I wasn't very impressed. The Catalan fries didn't impress me either. Prices were pretty good ($7.95 for drinks, $8 for fries) but I don't think I'll be going back.

Honestly a phenomenal ambiance, great drink and delicious eats. whether it is a party of 2 or a group check this place out. Service was amazing, great for a date night or a hang with friends

I went to this bar/restaurant based on the recommendation of a friend who had lived in DC for a while and I was not disappointed! We shared chicken wings and Brussels sprouts (which I ordered without cheese) and they were both tasty, crispy and finger-licking good. We weren't even hungry but we devoured them both in no time. I also got Giggle Water (on the Tiki Cocktails menu) and quite enjoyed it, they certainly didn't hold back on the liquor. Indoor seating chill and they have outside seating too. Service was initially great but it took a really long time for someone to get our card when we were ready to go which got quite frustrating. That said, you are guaranteed a good time there and I would go again!
