Hotel Bar · Northwest Washington · 41 tips and reviews
Rob Atkinson: A Washington classic. Low lighting and small tables, good for intimate conversations (or political scheming, as the case may be)
Tammy Gordon: Great spot for a clandestine meeting. Enter through lobby. Door downstairs to left of elevators. Concierge has phone chargers.
Jordan Balderas: Extremely disappointing for foodies or cocktail enthusiasts. Maybe it was an off night. However it may be, it was not the best hotel bar of America.

Deli · Connecticut Avenue - K Street · 6 tips and reviews
Morgan Talbot: GREAT place for lunch and on the go. Bathrooms to the back and right. You buy food by the pound. Great options for everyone, meat lovers. Vegetarians. And Asian food selections.
Melinda Anderson: Frequent customer? Pick up discount card! Spend $6 or more each visit, on 9th visit, get $6 off meal.
Karol Olson: Good options for vegetarians. The salad or hot bar almost always has a tofu dish and it's pretty tasty.

Cara: Look no further for a unique & convenient date location. Great cocktails, tons of games, & no kitchen means you can bring in any food you like. Fun for the whole 21+ family.
Lucy Reedy: This is a bro bar. A bar where bros take disinterested women on dates, and where bros go in packs. Drinks are ordered by shouting, and in no particular order.
Sean McGrath: Don't put your private parts near the jaws of the Hungry, Hungry Hippos. Great beer selection.

InJefffWeTrust: Great lunch spot. My partner had the swordfish sandwich and I had the sliced lamb sandwich. It was amazing.
Katy Pearce: Happy hour is great. 3-6pm half off beer and pizzas and wine $5/glass.
Katie Poedtke: Awesome waitstaff -- When I forgot my cell phone, our server chased the bus we were on for at least 4 blocks until he got my attention!

Portuguese Restaurant · Connecticut Avenue - K Street · 119 tips and reviews
Faheem Nasar: must try Peri-Peri sauces, all of them, they make the chicken incredibly delicious and satisfying!!
Dan Lurie: Started in South Africa, this chain serves up mouth-watering Portuguese-style roast chicken with a spicy African kick. When they say hot, they mean it.
Behrad Eats: Stick with the classic Chicken Breast Pita, but get it hot!
