The Commodore

Stopped in for Caroled at the Commodore as it's officially holiday season and time to hit all the pop-ups around the DMV. We stopped in on a Wednesday evening and by 6 pm it was PACKED. My friends and I sampled some of the spirited libations upstairs (not sure what the theme of that room is - online it says there would be 3 rooms representing past, present and yet to come) and they were all pretty good. On the sugary side of course but we love a theme! They are also honoring happy hour (M-F; 4-7 pm) during the pop up so no pressure to only order a holiday drinks - they've got options! We didn't order any food but I will say I was eyeing what I overheard are called Tot-Cho's and they smelled delicious! Overall we had a great time! It wasn't super holiday themed but there were infusions. Bee appreciated the fast service and the cozy pub atmosphere!

Excellent food and vibe in the house of the Commodore!Go deep sea diving into great pub food and tasty libations! Yes, great beer and fantastic cocktails. I loved the Old Fashioned. Also the Oaxaca Mule has a pleasant kick. For food items, the fried Brussels sprouts was complex and delightful. I can also recommend the Nightcrawler patty melt on sourdough.

Went on two separate occasions to grab drinks before dinner reservations. The first time was a Monday and was 5/5 everything! Second time was on a Saturday and that's why I'm giving 4/5. Our first time we sat at the bar and service was so fast, but it also was not that busy. On Saturday we arrived around 2:45 and the bar wasn't that busy, but brunch was ending at 3 and food service wouldn't start again till 4pm. No big deal! We grabbed our drinks and waited, but service was very slow and as the bar got busier the service became slower if you were sitting at a table and not at the bar. Otherwise, this place is such a cool vibe, the food looks amazing and next time I go I am ordering apps! Drinks are good and there seems to be something for everyone!

Spicy margarita is fantastic! The vibes are good, when it is warm out the outdoor seating is great!

We were here for our scuba team happy hour. It was pretty humid that day and the indoors was packed. We decided to sit outside and grab some drinks and dinner. Servers were very kind to provide us with mosquito repellents as there were so many mosquitoes. Well, the drinks were great. I ordered old fashioned and I had no complaints. I then switched to a cocktail. Happy hour prices are great. Tried hot dogs for snacks. Highly recommend this area if you want to catch up with friends and family.

Stopped by for happy hour last night with my girls and so glad we did. The best thing was the Buffalo chicken dip- it was absolutely delicious. I'll be back for that dish alone. The happy hour bratwurst was also very tasty and a fun, unique flavor combo and points that it was cut down the middle so you could actually get the toppings in each bite. I stuck to a canned beverage but they had fun looking cocktails too! Service was attentive- you could tell there is a good regular crowd here. I'm glad I came in, living in the neighborhood I'd totally come back and am happy to have discovered it. There are several other items on the regular menu and brunch menu that I want to come back and try! My only complaint is we asked the server at the very beginning if we could split the check by item and were told we could- come to the end and were told the best they can do is split it 50/50 on two cards. This was frustrating and has happened to us a lot in other places as well- hence why we asked at the beginning of the meal before we opened the tab. So if you want separate checks be sure to start separate tabs at the beginning- lesson learned.

Went to DC in March and had the chance to go dine at The Commodore. It's definitely a chill spot to catch up with your friends. We had the Totchos as an app and they were so good! I had the Damn Good Caesar Salad and also tried the Mac n cheese, both really good. My partner enjoyed his burger as well. Overall, the vibe was chill abs our server was cool! Definitely recommend if you're visiting.

I went here for Happy Hour after work. It's a typical bar type environment with good drinks and great music. In my opinion, the happy hour prices were great. They had $6 wells drinks and $6 wine. The food prices were about the same, but they do have food specials for Happy Hour. I ordered the chicken tenders and tots. They were ok. Nothing to rave about. The service was excellent. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. They made us laugh and made sure we had a good time. I had such a good time, that I only have one picture for my review. Check them out for Happy Hour, if you are ever in the area.

Has neighborhood bar vibes and is a chill place to hang out. They are a gastropub that offer what you would expect, but also the unexpected like their impossible katsu bao buns. Been here for happy hour twice so far and they have a solid happy hour (4-7pm Mon-Fri). I think the apps are done really well. Recently had fried pickles ($8) and chicken tenders w jerk bbq sauce ($12) and they were yummy and good portion size - shared both with a party of 4. Beer on draft is $2 off, and they have $6 well drinks and wine. It's not super large inside but they have 4-5 tables that seat two and your standard bar area, and a small second floor that looked like it had a bigger table. When it's nicer out they also have outdoor dining. Bartenders and servers are really nice too and attentive. Another solid 17th st establishment!

The Commodore may have the best bar food in dc. The chicken tenders are huge and fried to perfection. The patty melt is unreal and the fries are amazing as well. The vibes here are great too. All the bartenders are friendly and there are plenty of TVs for sports.
