City Tap House Penn Quarter

Had the clam chowder with the 10 spice rub wings and I must say the food was BUSSIN. They did not disappoint on the amount of crab in the soup and they supplied more than enough crackers. The wings were perfectly seasoned and super juicy. Also had a great size to them for the price! The beer flight was tasty as well and our bartender gave us a free sample of something else. Service was AMAZING! We sat at the bar and the bartender showed us nothing but love! I'd def stop in to see her again if I'm in town! Ambiance was nice. HUGE bar and they had plenty of TV's.

We started off trying to go to Taffer's Tavern, which is closed, without any notification on Yelp or when you call the establishment. Luckily, this place was nearby and we'd always rather try a new spot than go to a predictable Yardhouse.Lots of TVs everywhere, and we were looking to watch some football and enjoy some down time on our last day in DC before heading to dinner. We grabbed a comfy booth (though the ripped seats have seen better days) and someone who seemed to be the day shift manager came over, shared some menus, told us to let him know if there's a specific game we wanted on, and told us about the order through the QR code system. I really, really dislike the order through a QR code system. If I wanted to do that, I could go to a fast food establishment and still interact with a human while ordering. I will say that their system did allow for some personalization, which is good, and did update to reflect the happy hour deals when HH started at 3pm, which is really good. Considering there weren't true 'servers,' I don't understand why there were so many employees called in who were standing around doing a whole lot of nothing. It wasn't until after shift change that anyone asked if we wanted more water (which we did). The food was fine; the hot chicken was a bit oversauced and just 'hot,' rather than flavorful. The Pork Belly Nachos were pretty huge, especially for happy hour, and had ome pockets of nice flavor. I wouldn't rush back, but it's definitely a good place to catch a Commanders game and for some interesting people watching (most of it was employees on the day we were there, lol).

Very rude managers (waitstaff seemed Ok). Went to grab some food & drinks and watch the MLB Playoffs and everything started out OK until we asked the staff to tune one of the dozens of TVs to the Padres-Dodgers playoff game.After waiting an ENTIRE HOUR for my wife's food (although I got mine promptly) I felt compelled to speak up for the six of us at the bar (including an active duty Air Force guest whose wife hadn't received her food that was ALSO ordered OVER AN HOUR ago) who wanted to watch the Padres-Dodgers playoff game.Subsequently, some so-called manger became extremely rude, closed my tab and handed me the bill claiming I was "yelling" at him even though you could barely hear yourself due to the noise level (although not before the wonderful bartender serving us handed me my final Old Fashioned, which was excellent.)In short, I can't deny that the food was great (once it actually showed up) and the service was otherwise good, but I could never recommend this restaurant to anyone until its entire management team is fired & replaced.

Came here a few weeks ago, checked into Westin late, loved that this restaurant was right outside the hotel, super convenient since it was getting late. Ambience was nice, typical bar/pub feel. We had to order through the little tablet at the table. Didn't love that too much because it's a little more difficult to order when you want to omit certain items off a dish. But the food came reasonably quick and it was great! I had a blue cheese burger (perfectly cooked and tasty), came with fries (which were really good). My teen daughter had a rigatoni dish and it really good too. She even had leftovers for the next day. Happy with our food/service and no complaints.

The few times that I've gone I've gotten exceptional customer service. I usually walk in and sit at the bar. So much space to sit at. Drinks are drinks. I like that it's a slight romantic vibe but laid back. I've had their GOAT pizza multiple times. It's probably the main reason I come back. Their cauliflower is also delicious

Came here on a Saturday night. They seemed pretty busy, but we were seated in a back room away from all the madness. I got the ginger margarita, which was very tasty. For food, I got the shrimp tacos and they were delicious. They have some sort of sweet sauce - so good. I'd go back just for those.

This was a late night option as I was here for a convention recently. It's your standard bar/pub where you can drinks or something quick to eat. What I think is cool about this place is there's a QR code where you can to order and pay through there. The QR code links you to a page where you can just place an order and pay but it made me question if we should have sat at the bar instead.I got the City Tap Cubano and it's basically a sandwich with roasted pork, prosciutto, maple bourbon mustard, provolone, and fries. It wasn't bad but the portion in my opinion were a bit small but it did the job on keeping my stomach satisfied for the night.I would come back here but maybe for something else. I didn't think the server did much other than deliver us the food so keep that in mind if you plan to dine in. I still tipped though.

I recently met some friends here and it was a fun experience.The tap selects was good with many local area offerings. The service was excellent and the venue was upbeat and clean. I would recommend this place.

Ran in to get a quick bite and had such a tasty meal! I sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and nice! I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was very juicy and had a great kick to it. I also tried their pulled beef sandwich that was very delicious. Would come here again if in the area!

Was visiting for a conference and wanted a quick meal. Very traditional normal bar food. A bit of confusion at our table. We had many items that kept being delivered to our table we didn't order. We eventually got our correct food. We had nachos, pizza and tacos.
