Nice venue near the 9:39 Club -- outdoor seating and a laid back vibe. Six rotating micros on draft (served in pint jars) and a bunch of canned beers. Had a Lagunitas Waldo on draft and it was yummy.

Cool little hipster type place in an old actual ice factory. Ok selection of beers that rotate around a little. Great meat plates, though a little expensive. Good vibe and decent music. Worth checking out if you are in the area but not necessarily a beer destination.

Pretty hipster bar. Went on Friday for a friends birthday and it was packed. Super expensive swill and a few select micro brews but i would avoid it for a beer destination. It may be nice to sit outside on the patio with a group of friends but thats all.

I have been here a few times, and while I have a good time (more a testament to the crowd here than the staff or selection) I can’t say that I’d seek this place out to visit for any other reason outside or the ubiquitous "going-away party" for the crowd of late-20s to early-30s that seem to be more common in my area of town. I like the mason jars and the selection of beer (though similar to most local areas in DC), overall a decent enough place, but not unique. Can’t say it is really worth a visit.

This place is prepster, but man that patio is awesome and mason jars are a good (by DC standards, which is definitely still too high) quantity of beer for the price. Usualy have Racer 5, Bells, DC Brau, Great Lakes, etc. Which is a good (and I think focused) geographical representation. I have to knock the service because the place is always crazy packed, that said they are usually pretty johnny-on-the-spot despite just HOW busy it is (can’t stress how packed this place gets).

Very cool late night venue next to 9:30 club. Sort of speakeasy in nature with no real signage outside and it’s not so loud from the outside. Look for the heat lamp and bouncer. Inside, it is quite cramped and packed to the gills. But the tap list is surprisingly good with generous pours into mason jars. We had $5 enormous pours of Bells Kalamazoo Stout all night which was great. Barbecue looked fairly good, but I’ve only been here as a late night venue and not for food.

Nice space, in an old ice company across from 9:30 Club, perfect for before or after show partying. Very local brews - two from DC Brau and one from Lost Rhino, two of the metro area’s newest breweries, when I was there. Six taps rotate regularly. Food is reasonable southern BBQ. Staff is very friendly friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a look.
