City Tap House Dupont

We stopped in and were seated right away. I ordered a burger and fries along with a Malibu and pineapple rum drink, and both were fantastic!What really stood out was the staff. Two specific people, likely a server and a cook, came by to check on us and see how we were enjoying our meal. We ended up having a surprisingly long and enjoyable conversation with them. They were super friendly, funny, and made us feel very welcome.I wish I had remembered their names because their personalities really added to the experience. Overall, it's clear the staff here love what they do, and it shows. I'll definitely visit again next time I'm in DC!

City Taphouse in Dupont Circle: Perfect for Post-Meeting DrinksConveniently near my DC office, City Taphouse is my go-to for drinks after meetings. I usually stick to appetizers, and the 10-spice wings are excellent--flavorful with a nice kick.On a recent Wednesday, they were setting up for karaoke night, adding to the lively, welcoming vibe. Great drinks, tasty apps, and a fun atmosphere make this a solid choice in Dupont Circle!

This review is based on Karaoke night. This was probably the weirdest karaoke night I've ever been to (and I'm a huge Karaoke fan). The speaker system is LOUD. So loud you can't hear yourself speak - it's annoyingly loud. There wasn't a lot of people there, but somehow our group never got called for Karaoke. I think the DJ may only put you up if you leave a tip or if you know the DJ, not sure. I had a dessert, which was pretty good. Service was OK. I don't think I'll be doing back to try out another night, but it's a very large bar and beautiful space. It may be nicer if you go during the day and sit down at a table to eat.

Went for the drag brunch and left with a full belly. We had such a great time! The performances were amazing and the food was actually really good! I loved the avacado toast, the Cesar salad, the waffles were not dry at all nor was the chicken tenders that went with them (or in my mind they went together because who doesn't like chicken and waffles). The drinks, lawd, the staff kept the drinks coming! When they said you were probably going to leave tipsy they meant it, but I also appreciated that they kept the food coming because we needed something to soak up all those mimosas. The staff were all really sweet and made sure that you were having a great time. I would totally take friends here to enjoy the experience.

The performers were amazing but the food was painfully painfully cold and undercooked at the buffet. The French toast was soggy and just really unpleasant. I'm not quite sure why there aren't heaters for the warm foods either. Overall performance was perfect, servers were more than lovely but for $60 the food should at least be warm

Food was really good and the service was amazing I would recommend this place for a quick little date night

This review is based on DRAG BRUNCH only. The show was really fun. They have a few excellent performers. The refills of bottomless mimosas are plentiful. The pitfall is the food. The food wasn't very good. I can recommend the French toast and the pumpkin mousse but nothing else was good. Sharing photos of the buffet food with this post. The biscuits and cinnamon muffins were hard as brick. The pizza and waffle was only ok. The eggs were kinda hard. Good for the show and drinks, food is a disappointment.

After a long flight and dropping into a cold winter day, I really wanted a spot with warming food and great beer and ended up here. I also came a few more times throughout the weekend and had great experiences each time.Located off Dupont Circle, it's easy to get here. They have lots of seating for various groups including big booths, bar seating, and a few near the fireplace. All the staff was great including the host stand, bartenders, and friendly and attentive servers each time. The lighting is kept cozy, it's an equally fun or quiet place, depending on what mood you're in.Prices were reasonable for the quality and portion sizes of food. I had the chicken pot pie and loved it - flavorful and filling. We shared the mini crab cakes and my friend loved the brownie ice cream sundae which I took a bit of. The beer list here is fantastic as well; mostly local beers from the DC/MD/VA area. They had the option of flights, plus draft and can specials. This would be a regular stop if I lived in the area. If you find yourself in DC in need of great beer and a filling meal, it's worth visiting.

DRAG BRUNCH REVIEWBig fan of Drag Brunch on Sundays! We've been twice and love it! There is an all you can eat breakfast buffet with some pretty tasty stuff. You can also get bottomless drinks (mimosas, aperol spritz). The service is good - they do keep you glass full. If you want to support local drag queens, I say start here.

We decided to spend a weekend in DC and happened upon this place. Went there on a Friday and did not look too busy, so did not go in expecting much. We were wrong!! We were seated quickly in Matt's section. He introduced himself and I asked what his favorite drink was. I am not much of a whiskey person, but tried his fav, the Apple-Jack Mule. Seriously blown away. Be forewarned - it hits fast! Drink slowly!!!We decided to try the Elote dip app and the pork nachos. Both were good. Not the best ever, but solid 8.5's. My husband and I both wanted to try the burger, but the drinks and apps were more than enough so passed, but came back 2 days later and watched the Super Bowl at the bar. Rosie and Night B who are bartenders rock it as did the burger which we got this time! Rosie, Night B and Matt -- we will be back and hope to see you there!
