The Tombs

For a basic "university local bar" is as good as it gets. Down dodgy looking stairs to expansive well appointed sports bar with heavy boat club ambience. Good service with mixture of students and visitors. Menu good for such a bar and good bar choices. Surprisingly there is a real active fireplace. Tome beer ok but nothing special. Brisket with spiced fries just the right volume. There is a happy hour but watch out for karaoke night!parking ok if you are lucky.

HORRIBLE Experience - Do NOT Go If You Have Allergies!I went to The Tombs in Georgetown expecting a nice meal, but what I got was an appalling experience. I have Celiac disease and chose this restaurant because their menu includes "GF" indicators, which I assumed meant gluten-free. I ordered the nachos with beef, specifically informing them of my dietary restriction.The manager came over and said they couldn't do the nachos because they weren't gluten-free. Fair enough, mistakes happen. But when I pointed out that the menu shouldn't mark it as "GF," the server rudely snapped, "It's Gluten FRIENDLY, not free," and rolled his eyes. Excuse me?! That distinction is critical for people with Celiac, and the attitude was completely uncalled for.I then asked if he could suggest anything safe for me to eat since their labeling clearly wasn't reliable. He said no and walked away! When he came back, I asked about the steak frites, and he said it was fine--only to return later saying they could give me the steak but not the fries because they weren't gluten-free. Again, something marked as "GF."When I asked for a side option, he sarcastically suggested "maybe some lettuce." At that point, I gave up and walked out. The server remained rude and dismissive throughout the interaction.If you're gluten-free or have dietary restrictions, stay far away from this place. Their labeling is dangerously misleading, and their staff is not only untrained but actively hostile.

Came here over the holidays with some friends who went to Georgetown and had a great time. It was fun to experience a college bar but I have to say it was definitely on the nicer end when it comes to holiday bars haha. We got their house ale, which was just alright to be honest but we also got their wings and fries and those were pretty good. If I lived in the area I'd be back for more of their daily specials.

02.08.25 @10:18pmLong line to get in. Lucky when we got here it was less than 20 people's in front of us. Here for drinks and hang out.

Great local pub. We were seated quickly for lunch and our food came very fast. I got the turkey sandwich which I really enjoyed, especially with the chili mayo. Bread was perfectly toasted! It's kind of underground so it's a darker, smaller vibe. Overall great food!

My friend and I came here for an early dinner. This is the college bar of GU apparently so we figured we'd give it a try. The restaurant is downstairs and it's what you would expect for a pub almost. Casual, noisy got big screen tvs everywhere. For drinks we got the bold rock cider. When I gave the waitress my ID, she was very sassy and without even giving me a chance to say anything she said "oh no baby this is a fake" and was examining it in depth adding in "she even tried that" and walked away with my ID to the bar. I guess she had never seen the new VA IDs before which I've had for over a year now but that was my first time of someone ever thinking my real ID was a fake lol. It was comical too because I had just turned 28 a week ago so I guess I should take it as a compliment I look under 21. Thankfully the bartender knew it was real and I got my ID back. Besides that interesting encounter, the food itself was really good. I got the bbq pulled pork sandwich fries and the texas toast was fire. My friend got the smash burger with a salad and she said it was really good too. We were stuffed!

We made a reservation considering it was a Friday night, so we didn't have to wait. Walked down the spooky stairs to the entrance and was sat at a booth, fun for people watching! Had the fried zucchini as an appetizer. It was perfectly cooked not super bready. We then shared the Reuben sandwich, perfectly cooked!!! Service was great, fun spot!

Family recommended this spot for lunch and it was awesome! We were able to get a table on a Friday at the lunch hour right away. Our server was so knowledgeable and attentive. He shared the history of the restaurant with us, which was cool to learn! I opted for the falafel pita wrap with a side mixed salad for my meal and it was so tasty. My husband chose the turkey sandwich and loved it as well. They do not have parking, but there are street spots available all around. The vibe inside the restaurant feels like a historical lounge/bar and is so fitting for Georgetown. They do offer alcohol but we didn't try anything during our visit.

Always good service. Lively bar and restaurant. Food came quickly. Food runner even took plate back to wipe sauce that spilled on the way to the table (we would have been fine with it) but it was done proactively. A Georgetown institution on the edge of campus.

The best. Walk down the steps and back in time to your college days. We have been going to the Tombs since we were in school. Then it became our neighborhood joint many years later, and we still come back even though we don't live here anymore. Best burgers, Reubens, wings...you get the idea. Served by cute and friendly Georgetown students. Now the salads are great too. And it's probably the last $8 glass of wine in town. The milkshakes are amazing too. Just go early before the students take over. One of the greatest places in Georgetown and always packed after the 5:30 Holy Trinity mass - a neighborhood tradition.
