Show up early. If this place was ever a secret, then that time has passed. CBS was doing a story while i was there and took up half the space, which is large, but fills up rapidly. Among the best tap and bottle lists in the country, and I’ve been around. Great staff that keeps the place feeling like it belongs to a neighborhood instead of a corporation. Outstanding!

Fantastic beer bar in downtown DC. Bar is upstairs above a amazing restaurant. Low light, loft-style place with an extremely long bar and some booths and couches. Tap selection is always top-notch. Even with the frequent tap-takeover events, there are more than enough additional taps for other beers. The large binder documenting the bottle selections is daunting. Each bottle is stored in one of many fridges, each set to the proper temperature. Prices can be a little high, but they often have beers or events that you won’t find anywhere else in the area. Great food offerings that pair nicely with the diverse beer selection.

ChurchKey is my go-to place. Lots of great taps, a constant cycling of great new beers to try, an attentive and knowledgeable wait staff, and good (if expensive) food available.

Flat out one of the best beer bars I’ve ever been to. Huge tap list, bigger bottle list, small pours available, incredible service, and a really sweet atmosphere.

Wow. It is hard to find a bar with a more extensive selection than this one. A must visit when in DC. Note - very noisy on Saturday night.

Great place. I went there for dinner and like the beetroot starter but the pasta was only OK. Very large beer selection on tap and bottle with knowledgeable staff. I would definitely go back.

Usually a bit crowded, but the staff handles it fairly well. Amazing selection! Best place to find rare brews in the DC metro, hands down. Prices aren’t bad, but the food was underwhelming, at least at ChurckKey. I’d imagine its better at B&B

After traveling to many states this past year I stopped into my girlfriends home state/area. We went into D.C. and I had to check this place out. I was impressed with their bottle list but not their prices. A bottle of pursuit of hoppiness was $35. They had a few 750ml (non rarer) bottles of Cantillon, great right? Not for $50-60 dollars a pop. Which is the highest I have seen those type of bottles go for within multiple states. I was greeted and served nicely and that made up for the prices. After some eye browsing I noticed a wall that had shelves of bottles on it. To my surprise I noticed many different hyped up bottles. I wasn’t too fond of seeing so many desirable beers sitting on a shelf on the wall not available for sale. Each hyped up bottle of beer had many multiples. I was told they were being aged which is understandable. But for example why show off ten to twenty bottles of BCS? Just show off one bottle of each and have a sign stating that these beers are being aged and not for sale? In the end I will go back here because this place knows beer. The staff is a lot of help and engages with you to chat about what you are looking for which is pleasant. It is worth going to. I just hope you have better luck than I did. Maybe one of those beers on the wall will fall off into your hands
