The Commodore D.c. - Washington DC

Has neighborhood bar vibes and is a chill place to hang out. They are a gastropub that offer what you would expect, but also the unexpected like their impossible katsu bao buns. Been here for happy hour twice so far and they have a solid happy hour 4 7pm Mon Fri). I think the apps are done really well. Recently had fried pickles $8) and chicken tenders w jerk bbq sauce $12) and they were yummy and good portion size shared both with a party of 4. Beer on draft is $2 off, and they have $6 well drinks and wine. It's not super large inside but they have 4 5 tables that seat two and your standard bar area, and a small second floor that looked like it had a bigger table. When it's nicer out they also have outdoor dining. Bartenders and servers are really nice too and attentive. Another solid 17th st establishment!

Here comes a long one:To set the scene, I am from out of state, and my friend forgot her ID at home. We saw lovely reviews for this place, and thought we should give it a try for our other friends birthday. We try to order 3 martinis and two appetizers, they asked for our IDs. My friend and I show ours, then explained that our other friend forgot her ID home in NJ. They asked us if she has a picture of the ID, and she said she didn’t think so. So the server said, okay we can only give it to the girls who showed their ID.We said, no problem with that we understand. Then, 5 minutes later, another server came up and told us since not everyone at the table has an ID they can’t serve us any alcohol. We said totally understand that’s fine. We then found a picture of her ID, and she goes down stairs to show them, and they say they can’t accept it, even though one server told us that a picture would be fine.. Then, we told them, okay that’s fine no problem. To set more of a scene, I am a type 1 diabetic, and I needed food. We are sitting at the table for 25 minutes until the second server came up to us, and said did you find the ID? We were like no, we just have the picture. Then he goes, yea, we can’t use that. Then we asked, well is the food still coming? They then told us they can not serve us food because we do not have IDs. One, that is ridiculous and two, they should have told us right away. We wasted so much of our time for a law that doesn’t exist.This could all have been avoided if they asked for our IDs when we walked in. Not to mention, the bar tender was extremely rude. Very disappointed with the communication of this place.

Ordered a Jameson Ginger Ale and it was unpalatable... I asked for my ginger ale but the next time there were little black specks in the

Very nice terrace in a sunny afternoon.Best chicken tenders I ever had. Very good burger too.

Nice place. was there when an event was going on outside.Any place that has that 8% service charge get's a lower rating.wish I noticed it before, so i could have adjusted the tip accordingly.
