Mr. Henry's

I recently made a quick visit to Mr. Henry's as a going away night out for a dear friend. We made plans to weather the brutal cold (20 degrees), but who likes to stay home all day even though it's cold out, right? The plan was to meet up around 06:30 pm. Well, as you know women are always late (quick duck). lolMoreover, I called up one of my cousins who lives around the corner to meet me. While waiting on both women I decided to order from the menu. I have a traditional thing I do when it's under 30 degrees out: order an Irish Coffee. Well, let me tell you, this was the largest serving of Irish Coffee I've ever had and it was prepared in the best way (Coffee, Jameson Whisky, and Whipped Cream).Just as I received my drink my cousin showed up and we decided to head over to the bar (Bartender, Tim) since she's a regular (CHEERS) I felt comfortable meeting her friends. After another hour, my other friend finally showed up (smh, lol). But that didn't matter because my cousin and I needed to catch up anyway.My food arrived, and lucky for me, I brought my appetite. I ordered the Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich (tangy BBQ sauce on a toasted Bun, Cole Slaw, real potato chips, and pickles). I was so hungry, that I made a "Happy Plate."If you've ever been here, it's a nice spot to enjoy 'live' music, and that night, they had a Jazz Open Mic where local musicians could play together. It started around 08:00 pm. After hanging out and having fun downstairs we decided to head up to enjoy the open mic and participate. We ordered two more Irish Coffees and enjoyed the entertainment (and gave generous tips to the host and his band) until 11:00 pm.A great experience!

I am a fan of this spot. They're my go-to for a midday drink, or lunch. When the weather is pleasant, you can't beat people watching from their terrasse. Their burgers are very well crafted and they've got a couple different patty options making them able to appease all palate types so that's definitely a plus as well. The servers always seem to have a good attitude and disposition so that's definitely appreciated. They've also got a good beer selection as well as a decent wine selection. The bar is a little intimate and I feel like it'll be cool to hang in there on a cool night. There really are no complaints.

Yesterday, I met up with a friend from out of town here. I had never been, but needless to say I've stumbled upon another pub to put on my list of places to grab a drink in the district. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy and intimate. I don't know if they have an expansion, but the bar I sat at is pretty small and there are *some* tables, but I'd argue the seating might be limited during peak season / hours.We didn't order any of the cocktails as we kept mostly to basic girl orders (tequila soda), but I saw a couple of them getting made and they looked really good -- especially their moscow mule.After a while, we decided to order food instead of going somewhere else. I got the pulled pork and my friend got the classic burger with everything on it; we also shared an order of half fries / half rings. I will start by saying this place is definitely on the lower end of DC prices, but still expect to spend at least $15 on a sandwich. That said, the pulled pork was flavorful, juicy, plentiful, and I did not feel cheated. My friend's burger also looked VERY yummy: it was a thicker patty, so if you prefer smashburgers this might not be your vibe. The fries and rings we had were good, but the standout were the fries -- they were a handcut, thicker wedge style that was crispy yet super fluffy on the interior. These are a must order.It's worth noting that this place is an LGBTQ+ establishment and apparently a mainstay in the queer community and local music scene -- the bartender told us about how Roberta Flack got her start there!I'm not normally in Capitol Hill, but now I got a place if I'm in that borough. Had a great time.

Stopped in for lunch after visiting Eastern Market on a really hot Sunday. Place was packed, but we three squeezed into a booth. Water, lots of water and ice. Split crab cake platter, which they were nice enough to split into dishes. Each dish had one cake, really nice veg and some fried potato slices. Cake was good, all back fin, but little breading. Daughter had a Reuben w onion rings, slaw and a couple of pickle slices. Food was very good and staff were excellent.

We came for jazz last week and the LLQ band was awesome. We got there a little early to enjoy dinner before the music started. The upstairs area was pretty stuffy and hot. However it was decorated with beautiful art which we took some time to appreciate. Our waitress was attentive and very sweet. We ordered a burger and a small Caesar salad with a crabcake. My husband said his burger was very good and the salad I got was decent. I was really pleasantly surprised by the crab cake - mostly crab, very little filler. I'd definitely come back for a bite and a few drinks again!

Come for the ambiance and live music, friendly service. Standard bar downstairs, tables with live music upstairs, nice patio. Prices are reasonable, drinks are decent, wings are solid

Love this spot. Has a great happy hour. The food is decent-- it didn't stand out to me but definitely worth the value. Service was outstanding and loved the cozy vibe in CH. will be back for jazz night!

Sad to say, I never came to this historic venue when I lived in the neighborhood in the late 1970's and it took until last night for use to come, hoping to hear the Bob Schwartz Quartet. Nice intimate venue upstairs to hear jazz, and the Quartet was in fine form, interesting program focused on blues singer and songwriter Percy Mayfield. We had already eaten dinner, but the beer and wine list were fine, then I had chocolate cake for dessert. My wife had the house-made chips which she felt were the best potato chips she had ever had. We sat with a jazz vocalist friend who liked her salmon dinner.Good experience -- we will be back.

For me, the ambiance had a definite and rich sense of history here, that I appreciated. On the other hand, other people in our party thought the space was grungy and in need of a refresh. We arrived before Happy Hour ended at 7 PM, and ordered burgers, fries, and Long Island iced teas. The servers and patrons were friendly and exuberant. The food arrived hot, the fries were plentiful and crispy, and the drinks were strong. The other folks arrived after 7, ordered wine and fish dinners, and were not happy with the food quality or the price. In short, keep it simple, utilize Happy Hour, and you'll be satisfied with this restaurant. With a few conditions, I recommend and rate Mr. Henry a 3.5

Awesome amazing jazz . We had such great service .I was super surprised that this did not come up when I typed in jazz in the search . Great professional musician's playing there hearts out.
