The Bottom Line is a nice bar without unique features but with good food and pretty wide assortment of beers.

We sat at the bar. Chuck and Beatriz were our bartenders. They were very friendly. Chuck’s bartending/serving style is top notch. This spot was extremely clean, including the floor, bar area, and the bar mats.

Great old school bar in DC. Came here in my college days, so it was great to see that not much has changed since then.

The bartender was great and the service is good, cool waiters. Top of my fish sandwich was cold and the fries are cut so thin they get cold witching a couple minutes. Seasoning has a little too much spice for my liking. Par.

The food was delicious and the service was great. There was a bit of a wait for the food due to a printer error but it was worth it. I had the burger with Swiss and bacon and it was cooked exactly as I had ordered it. The fries were nice and crispy and had the right amount of seasoning. I’m sure I’ll be back in the future.

Great little bar, just steps away from the National Mall. I’ve been twice and had great service and great drinks. It’s very convenient to the monuments so it’s an easy stop. I’ll be back!
