Right across from my hotel in DC. Pretty crowded with patrons that didn’t seem to be there for the beer. Guys next to me had never seen a flight before. Bartenders were terrible. But the beer was very reasonably price, just not that great. Not bad though.

We visted this place in 2010. Beers are average, you do not feel a lot of beer culture here. They have some nice brewery T-shirts.

Have visited this venue a couple of time, originally in ’05 and most recently in June ’11. Large open plan modern looking brewpub, lots of glass, metal etc with the bar centrally located. Service was decent and I was offered some samples. House beers are ok/nothing special although amongst the pale ales and European style imitations they did have (wasn’t ticking/rating at this particular point in time so no notes) a decent 10% ish coffee imperial stout on!

Recently visited the Capitol Brewery while at a conference in DC. Being a fan of craft beer and I was a little bit hungry I was for a quick bite as well as good brew. Lucky enough a coworker of mine and I were able to stumble upon the brewery which is close to the convention center right in downtown DC. It was happy hour so all brews were only $3.50 an appetizers half off. I have to say that the selection of beers were quite limited but the food was your normal bar fair you had wings you had quesadillas and the usual. Awesome place I would recommend to anybody who's looking for a quick bite to eat as well as a good decent brew

Went there twice during my stay in DC. Personel was friendly and knowledgeable, very sympathetic. Nice choice of food. Beer was not top notch, but I was able to find very nice ones. All in all, a good place.

Very busy tourist spot. Hard to get seat even at the bar. Service felt rushed and did not acre much for you. Beer was OK. Felt more like tourist spot for families than brew pub.

Ended up at this place after trying to get into two pizza restaurants further up the DC "Places" list. I really liked it here. My boys (7 and 9) sat at the bar and the bartender had plenty to say about the beers on tap. I bought one pint and he let me try a sample of the others for free. I ended up getting another pint of one of the samples and left a decent tip.

Located in an extremely boring part of DC surrounded by hotels and office buildings- no city vibe. More like an Applebee’s food and drink wise. Waitstaff is clueless about beer, the beer served is very low quality. Usually served frozen cold without head formation. All had some brewing flaws. Food was substandard. Depressing venue and decor. Drab, cheap, and outdated. An anachronism from when DC was clueless about craft beer.

Several visits. A good stop for local DC brew, their seasonal pumpkin beer is very well done. However, I much preferred the Capitol City location that was near Union Station- ambiance, service, everything was better. The downtown location is often rushed by wait staff, even when the place isn’t crowded. Oh well. Don’t know if I will return to this location, unless I know the pumpkin is on tap. Beers otherwise are fairly unremarkable and pricey unless it is happy hour.

I had a flight of all the beers they had on tap (6). All were good versions of the style they represented, but nothing exceptional. Definitely trying to appeal to the masses that like something a little more than the macrobrew fare. Atmosphere is that of a bustling city restaurant bar with plenty of TVs in the bar with whatever sports of the day. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was good and prices were what you would expect in the city but not extremely expensive. If you are looking to satisfy your inner beer geek, pass this one by. If you (the beer geek) are with a group and trying to satisfy everyone, this might be a decent compromise.
