For food & drink, Old Ebbitt Grill is hit or miss.
Dark wood, brass, and gaslit nostalgia — it leans hard into being the place lobbyists and tourists have shared for generations. More about the room and the raw bar than culinary fireworks.
Established 1856, billed as DC's oldest saloon, steps from the White House at 675 15th St NW; owned by Clyde's Restaurant Group since a 1970 auction purchase. · ebbitt.com
