Charley - Washington

Overall, the experience was quite subdued. The service was good, but since they were busy, it was a bit slow, which was understandable. Unfortunately, the burger was overcooked, despite asking for it to be cooked differently. Additionally, there were no soda or tea options available; only alcohol or water. It was also disappointing that there were no alcoholic drinks suitable for a limousine service.

This is a lovely spot for drinks and dining. We tried the steak fries, and the chimichurri sauce that accompanied them was outstanding. The waitress was kind enough to omit the usual sauce. However, the steak, while well-cooked, was unfortunately dry. Friends who had dined here before mentioned that it used to be better, so it seems there might have been a change in the quality of the meat.

This is my favorite restaurant in DC. The bartender is very knowledgeable and friendly, creating an excellent atmosphere. The cocktail menu is impressive, with a range of unique options. I highly recommend the Tweed Jacket, Sacred Shishito, and Quack Quackerac. The food is also outstanding, especially the Catalan Frits. The bartenders truly embody the local spirit.

We came for a happy hour as it was recommended as one of the top in dc for a Sunday. we were slow and missed happy hour, but are so glad we left. we have spit from the Natural History Museum to here and it was worth it. the drinks were delicious and the food was fabulous. we had the thun fishtar, steak fries and local greens. we finished with the vanilla cream brûlée with Rhabarb-compot. that was delicious. my friend is on a low fodmap diet and they did a great job that didn't hit a wobble and garlic restriction. I would recommend bar charley to everyone.

This place has one of the best happy hours in town. Wonderfully crafted cocktails for $8 and awesome small eats options (Catalan fries and tuna tartare are a must). Their burger is also really good.We’ve gone a couple times for happy hour and will be back to try dinner or brunch soon.
