Smitty’s

One thing I will say is that the wings are fire! They came out hot and fresh and so very tasty. We ordered fries but they came out cold and limp (not a crisp fry in sight). Thankfully they remade them for us but they were still quite bland. Perhaps salt was the missing link? I was there for an event so we used the space at the back of the building that was a patio. Overall the entire bar has a cozy intimate vibe. The service was not the best (probably because of the amount of people in the space), and it made for it to be challenging to enjoy the experience. I wish they had more mocktail and NA friendly drinks. They had no mocktail options but they did try to accommodate by creating something at the bar. Overall the people were kind that worked there, but I'd suggest visiting when it's not too busy to have a better experience.

Smitty's is truly underrated, one of DC's local gems. It has the feel of a cozy neighborhood bar, with a dimly lit bar area with exposed brick, plus a gorgeous back patio. You might expect a low-key spot to focus solely on beers and simple cocktails, but they actually have exceptional drinks. Their signature is the cardamom old fashioned, which is both unique and absolutely delicious.On our last visit, we sampled the food - they have lots of interesting looking options, but we just shared a plate of dumplings. They were great. It gives me hope that the rest of the food menu is top notch, as well. Bonus points through the roof for a very welcoming, kind staff. They have always had positivity running through the whole place, and it impacts everyone there. Check them out!

stopped in for one drink with a friend and really loved it! the spicy marg was delicious (i think it was $12 so not super cheap but normal for dc). our server was super friendly too! the vibe of the place is really chill, i think it would be a good date spot. but it's a fun local place to grab a drink or two!

This neighborhood gem needs more recognition! Stop by for lunch and drinks and it was amazing! Had The Smitty Burger's with fries and it was excellent! The Tej was strong and my husband loved the Dirty Martini and the Cardamom Old Fashion. We will return!

I am incredibly disappointed that I hadn't find this bar sooner. I was just there last night for the first time, and I loved the atmosphere, service and people. Although it is smaller compared to a lot of bars in DC, Smitty's gives off a cozy vibe because it isn't loud, and I could actually have a conversation. It also has a back patio that has multiple heat lamps for when the weather gets too cold.The service was excellent. All the servers and bartenders were as nice as could be, and even brought drinks out to the back deck for us. It felt like drinking in a friend's living room than at an actual bar (don't worry, it's small, but definitely a lot bigger than your friend's living room).Their tacos were incredibly delicious and affordable. I came hungry and after a few of those delectable tacos, I was properly satiated and ready to drink. Speaking of which, the drinks were strong and affordable and definitely unique compared to other places.There are a lot of bars in DC, and I have been to many of them. Smitty's definitely ranks up there. It may not be polished or fancy - but you don't need that when you're just looking for a relaxing, fun night with friends. Even if you're by yourself, I'd still recommend coming here. You'll make friends before you know it! Just watch out for Simba because he is an super cute dog who will distract you from drinking because all you will want to do is pet him!

Place rocks. Food is cheap and yummy. Chorizo burrito was about $12 with chips n guacamole. Very tasty and a good deal. Wait staff was chill

What a great new spot & local neighborhood bar in an area where you are starting to see some much larger & more commercial investors making bars for people to hangout at. These guys are bringing in a new snack each night from a random local vendor, hosting debate watch party's and even let me work with the bartender to mix up my own drink. Gin, St. Germaine, Lemon & some seltzer. We called it the Brogan so good luck having them remake it hehe!! The bar has about 20-30 seats and there are a few high top tables. The bathrooms are definitely not the most accessible & could see the bar inventory grow in more time. Looking forward to seeing this spot do well & thank for the friendly company!!

This cardamom old fashioned is AMAZING. The space is great, staff are super attentive, and we got complementary goldfish to snack on. The jazz was legit (none of that smooth jazz shit ) and we would come back a million times. Cheers!

It's a hidden gem, because you can't really tell it has a good patio in the back (that's even covered).The secret? It's got the very BEST well house Old Fashioned, because they use an above shelf bourbon.

2 of us on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't crowded and street parking only. We went here to waist a lil time. We tried their tacos(carnitas, pollo, steak) they were really good and filling. My boyfriend had a margarita which he said was strong. Tacos were around $3.75 and his drink maybe have been $11 to $13. They do have TVs so we could watch the game. It's a nice and chill spot to hang out at. Definitely recommend!Thank you.
