Jules Maes Saloon Eatery

Never been disappointed. Always great service, environment, food. A true gem.

This historic bar used to be one of the great options in Georgetown for dinner. A few years ago it changed ownership, and while the name and ambiance were kept the same, new owner changed the menu. It's pretty much just like every other bar menu that isn't noteworthy, burgers, sandwiches, etc. The biggest issue is that there are lame vegetarian options: a pretty mediocre sandwich and typical flatbreads. So if you're looking for something interesting or with protein, you're SOL. And they refuse to accommodate ANY requests to make a vegetarian version. At first when they reopened, I was attracted to their mac n cheese trio (three cups of different flavors, usually two have meat), and twice I ordered it with vegetarian changes that I enjoyed, with very accommodating service. For some reason, the last 3 times I've gone they refused to make changes to any menu item I asked about. And I mean any changes at all including just giving me 3 cups of the vegetarian mac n cheese variety instead of one of each, OR EVEN just giving me one cup of the vegetarian flavor as a side. They also refused to give me a veggie burger patty as a side with a salad. This is so absurd that I have to assume management is incompetent at restaurant inventory.

Fantastic venue with amazingly friendly staff. In a group or by yourself this is a great venue to hang out and grab a beer and a feed.

Nothing to write home about really; had a couple drinks I tried the blackberry smooth which is muddled blackberry and whiskey. Had the mozzarella sticks, fried pickles and pretzel bites. Nothing was really fantastic to me or stood out. Parking is as bad as you can imagine.

Trivia Mondays is fun. Great bar great food, staff is cool atmosphere is charming very much a locals spot
