Best Craft Beers In Washington Near Me

Bradley Garness: Excellent food and drink. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Loved the beer called "Bare Bones". The guys running the BBQ were awesome. The bartenders were friendly. The majority of people drinking live in the neighborhood. This place reminds me of my time in Europe. Eat, drink, and make friends.

Jacob Lewis: Fish and chips, if it’s on the menu I take it as a review challenge. “Oh I see you fish and chip. Challenge accepted.” I say. I lost. New favorite fish and chip. It’s here, come and get it in the nation’s capitol at Right Proper Brewing Company. And the beer? Well I’ve had so many favorites in different locales. I came here because it’s the highest rated brewery in DC proper. And I agree the three I tried were very good. Nothing weird about the flavors, no hints of awkward brew prep practices manifested into the beer. 🤙🏽 I need to speak about the QR code menu/ordering thing they have going on. I hate it. The servers were confused, I was confused. It’s not fast food. I came here to be waited on. Get rid of the thing where you make me do the work. It undercuts your employee’s gratuity. Location: just north of downtown in a thriving neighborhood with loads of brick. More brick than you’ll ever see on the west coast in any one day, it exists here in this neighborhood. It’s a bustling neighborhood, lots of pedestrians all day passing. It should feel like a quiet side street but there’s constant flow of traffic. Nice place to feel immersed if only for an hour.

Miguel Curiel: Boutique beer garden, nice space and quick service. Unexpectedly walked in on a rainy Friday and was pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend it for having a beer in a more informal setting. The place is very nice, with wide industrial interior design. It’s located in a walkable neighborhood surrounded by relatively new buildings. Finally, it offers a wide variety of local beer, tasty American cuisine, many televisions to broadcast your favorite sports and you can order through your phone.

Elizabeth Long: Oh man, the food here was so great. We ate until we were absolutely stuffed. The service was excellent. I was also really impressed by how fast the food came out.

C Yager: Great craft beer bar, knowledgeable bar staff, 50 beers on tap, wish they had less national/big craft beers on tap and more local. Extensive beer bottle list with hard to find beers, especially good Belgium beer selection. Fast friendly service, hard to notice from the street. Definitely recommend a visit if you love beer.

Christopher Weiss: Craft beer cellar DC is by far the best craft beer seller in the city. They have an amazing selection of craft beers and accessories. The proprietor is about the most learned beer master I’ve met. The store is impressive and easy to find with plenty of street parking nearby. I highly recommend visiting craft beer cellar DC anytime you’re near union station.

William Archer: Very close to a metro stop and filled with thoughtful design, delicious drinks, and a curated board game selection. Only had beer and cocktails but was very happy with the entire experience. If I lived closer I would be here all the time meeting people, playing board games, and drinking from the big drink selection. So many small cool touches in how they decorated and designed the space!

Sasha J: Amazing, first time here! This is a great place, very large variety. Amazing outdoor seating. For someone who isn’t a big beer buff they really know there stuff an are super helpful with novice beer drinkers. I will mention it’s very pet & kid friendly.

Traveling Terrezzas: Its a small place inside but they do have a lot of outside options with views of the stadium. I feel like this is one of the places to be before or after a ball game to have some pizza that is reasonable prices and beer rather than spending all your money at the ballpark. The pizza was good and really hit the spot for us late at night. Also tried the flight and we really enjoyed the beer! It was just really loud that my husband and I were screaming at each other but good times!

Pablo Destefanis: Unpretentious local brewery with good beer and a few things to eat. A bit of a dive vibe, with friendly staff. Prices have the tips included, which is fantastic. Wish it were open earlier!

Renee von Behren: Superior service with knowledgeable staff. Hard place to get to with barbed wire around the tanks at the entrance. Kind of a strange place as everything is served in a plastic cup and the interior could use a coat of paint. Beer is still good and the bartenders couldn’t have been nicer.

Ryan Rieboldt: Absolutely loved the beers and atmosphere, currently tied as my favorite brewery in DC. Stopped by on a slower weekday night but still enjoyed my time and will definitely be heading back once it gets warmer. It’s located conveniently right off the Metropolitan Branch Trial a bit north of NoMa. The metro going past intermittently in the distance is a nice little city touch with a decent backdrop of lights behind the track. Both the 8 Wards IPA and Edgewood Extra were stellar!

Syerra Carigo: My husband and I came here for our Valentine’s Day dinner and we were pleasantly surprised! The food here is so delicious! I can’t believe I never stopped in this restaurant before! The spinach dip was amazing! Like we were (shamefully) scraping the plate 😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️ The steaks, equally delicious and cooked perfectly! It was extremely busy, but our waiter remained attentive and served us pretty quickly considering how crazy it was. I’m definitely coming back to this restaurant for dinner again. Very, very good!

Mikaila L: We came in late in the night around 10:30pm after not being able to find any available or open restaurants on a Friday night and we were able to be seated right away! We are so glad we found this place. The music was great & we had fast service. I ordered the Caesar salad with added avocado. The crostini with it was such good addition and the salad was honestly perfect. It was so delicious, it was one of the best Caesar salads I’ve had. I could eat that all the time lol. The only thing I didn’t like was the added cost of the avocado was $2 and they gave us maybe 1/8th of an avocado but other than that it was great. We also shared a dessert, we had the skillet cookie with vanilla ice cream and it was amazing! The prices were great as well and very affordable. I would highly recommend it here!

Ed A: Great spot to pickup orders from preservation, reserve and hoarders society membership online orders or as a member of the public shopping for great beer and merchandise. There is now a custom draft system for crowler fills (never seen anything like it). Still no drinking on premises but that may change in the future. The people working there are helpful and efficient so go check it out. Cheers!

Denis Blondeel: Good bar, friendly people. Only bar we returned twice during our stay in DC
