Nanny O'Brien's Irish Pub

I really like Nanny's. Definitely a place to grab a bite with friends or have a drink and watch the soccer or softball game. Definitely an Irish pub with Guinness and Smithwicks. I was just enjoying a Natty Boh watching the girls college softball. I have had the wings, pretty good and the burgers are fine. Definitely will repeat.

Nothing special. Fries are from a bag. The menu reads the Buffalo wings are "their take" on Buffalo wings, but it's not - the sauce is straight out of a bottle. My bacon on my BLT was also burnt so that was pretty lame. The bartender was very nice and brought me more bacon when asked. If you're looking for something unique or special, this isn't your place. But if you're looking for a beer and bar food and to watch the game, this could be your jam.

I was with a friend group of six hanging out In Cleveland Park when the beer drinkers decided we should check out Nanny O'Brien's. It looks like a typical neighborhood Irish bar, very unassuming. I try to stick to a basic as possible food order in these types of establishments since I know most people come here for the beer...not the food. So one of my friends and I ordered wings and tots and the others in our group ordered sandwiches. On their menu they boast that their wings are their most " popular" item so why not! Wellll...popular they may be but tasty they are not. They weren't even edible. They were obviously old and refried since they were cold and dry. My friend and I aren't big on returning food in restaurants unless it's absolutely necessary but we had no choice. Our bartender assured us he would have the kitchen make a fresh order. Well they did and they were still dry so neither one of us could eat the new batch either. On a better note, the tots with the addition of Cajun spice were fired nice and crispy. Also I had a nice refreshing Norse IPA. My friends who ordered sandwiches were fine with their food. So I'm glad at least they were satisfied with what they ordered. I would come back here to grab a drink but would eat elsewhere.

Nice dive bar up by the zoo! It's a very chill spot but has lots of seating (a very cute window spot) and is a great place to go watch sports or to go if you have a bigger group. They have cheap beer but also good draft options. We got a bucket of coors banquet for $16, and you get five of them so pretty killer deal. For sure a no frill place but our bartender was lovely and very attentive! Great spot to stop by if you're in the area or looking for a place to watch sports.

The bar was very cute on the outside, so my friends and I decided to walk in. It was cute on the inside with some old school pub decor and a lively vib. However, the bar tender took a while to get our drinks and almost seemed annoyed we were there. About 10 minutes later, we witnessed him storming into the bar and YELLING at a customer. He appeared drunk, or so it seemed, and made a scene at the bar and yelling about people being band from the bar. This was alarming, and we left immediately after. 10 out of 10 do not recommend.

Alot of locals go here. One of my best friends lives near here and introduced it to me years ago. Ever since whenever I am in town weusually end up here. They have a few tvs and good bar food. Nice selection of beers as well.

Irish pub with with both bar and table seating. I came here with my GF, her friend, and her sister. We all got different things, but we all agreed that the food was unspectacular. I got the wings (which they claim is their specialty). Our waitress was very friendly.

A nice place to grab a bite, an Irish beer, and maybe some whisky. I really enjoy the atmosphere, it definitely feels like the perfect place to get a Guinness. This place is a solid 3.5 out of 5, I feel bad having to give it 3 stars. The food is standard but nothing amazing, I will give a shout out to how crispy their tots are though. Also the servers are always pretty nice. I think for the price, I can get better food. But if you want to come and get a drink on happy hour, do Tuesday trivia, or listen to the occasional music act they have, I would recommend you stop by.

For all the comments details poor service and/or poor food, get over yourself. It's a dive bar in DC with probably the cheapest food and drinks for blocks in any direction. Yea, the bartender is probably going to raise their voice at patrons, so what. That's part of the experience. The first couple weeks I started adding this place into my rotation, there wasn't soap in either lavatory. That's part of the ambiance, it's gritty and a little unpleasant. Places like Nanny's exists because there are locals who aren't looking to spend an arm and a leg on getting drunk.

The chili Mac never disappoints. I don't drink but the bar tenders keep my coke topped off, great service . It's an Irish bar. I should be back for the Notre Dame VS army game in November.
