penn quarter sports tavern

great pubfoodand reasonably priced. they don't have a kids menu but they have plenty of foods that kids like. we found this place when looking for a place to have lunch after visiting the archives. we had burgers and they were delicious! the next night after being turned away from two other restaurants for not having reservations we found ourselves in this neighborhood again and decided to give it a try for dinner. this time we ordered pizza and beer and again it was great. i definitely give it two thumbs up.

affordable goodfoodand wide menu selection. my opinion(s): their chicken parmesan sandwich and fries are amazing! their salads have fresh ingredients and good dressings. i carried out pizza once and they stacked the pizza slices on top of each other in a too small box. (not cool! won't carryout pizza again...) also, you can't call ahead for a carryout order, which is somewhat annoying. when dining in, the wait staff, at times, can be inattentive, even when they do not seem busy. however, the wide menu selection, goodfoodand affordable prices keep me coming back.

good (read: average)foodat very reasonable prices in a good location near the mall, but not kid-friendly. no kids menu. plus, downstairs is extremely small, and outside door opening and closing caused it to be frigid inside in early april. music was loud. would recommend for a small group of adults who want to watch a game and drink beer.

good sports bar right off the mall. to the person below bemoaning no kids' menu ... it's a bar. and pizza, burgers, and sandwiches are all kid-friendly items if you so choose.

i have been here three times now, twice with alumni groups. the service during game days was sufficient -- the crowds were big which can be a server's nightmare (and dream if people tip well). thefoodis always quick to come, but getting a second drink can often be a series of obstacles as you give up on the server and go to the bar.

that being said ... it's a bar. thefood... for a bar ... is good. i've had a burger, the pizza, and a club sandwich and all were good.

this place is the worst. this place is the worst, thefoodis awful, its over crowded, the staff is rude at best and for a sports bar in dc they dont like any dc teams! do not go here!

great place!. my favorite place to watch games and meet people. big screens everywhere, really friendly atmosphere, goodfoodand drinks, reasonable prices. two floors inside and nice outdoor seating. the patio even has outdoor screens.

it's sports-bar grub...not bad. grade: b-

penn quarter sports tavern's menu is fairly standard for a sports bar - burgers, sandwiches, etc. nothing fancy but okay.

they try a few times to "jazz up" their approach to the food, a move i'm not convinced is succesful. for example, the chipotle sauce on a shrimp po' boy wasn't bad, but it didn't feel as if the sandwich was quite legitimate (still good, though). their homemade potato chips were tasty but they were very greasy.

if i had a problem it was with timing. at the lunch hour, it took an inordinately long period of time to get thefoodafter ordering. true, we were a big group, but we were the some of the first ones in that day, and we had contacted the management ahead of time. they should, i would suggest, be better prepared to get people in and out during lunch.

great place to watch all the games!!!! thefoodis great and the tv's are better!

pqst is the best place on earth!. the penn quarter sports tavern (pqst) is the best place in the washington dc area for sports fan and anybody else just looking for a good time. this place has awesomefoodand drinks, a great atmosphere, and the staff really know how to take care of their customers. i created a seattle seahawks fan group which i was looking to find a home for. one fine sunday i happened upon the pqst and was unexpectedly greeted by matt who told me that he would love to make pqst home for the seahawks fans. he told me that he would reserve tables and tvs for us and fly our team flags. he has faithfully held up to this agreement and i have to say, i can't think of a better place with a better staff to watch sports. this place is amazing with regards to catering to groups, and they are consistently getting better and better.

great local sports bar. blown away by what this local bar has to offer.foodand drinks are great and worth the reasonable price. the staff is friendly and accommodating, except you have to seat your self, tables are first come first serve. a little difficult when they are very busy. i have watched sporting events and attended numerous happy hours here and had a blast

wow! what a great place to watch a game!. wow! i attended my alumni chapter game watch last saturday for the first time and i was blown away! there were multiple flat screens showing our game and the atmosphere was electric. not only was thefoodgreat(try the mac & cheese balls!) but even with a huge crowd i had myfoodin minutes! i just moved here from dallas, where i attended my alumni game watches and it was nothing like this! from my exit across the street at the metro i saw my college flag hanging outside as well as a few others, what a way to greet a newbie to the city! not only were my fellow alums treated great (decorations, great service, friendly) we yelled our fight song everytime we scored!!! i will be going back to penn quarter sports tavern for every game!

non-discriminating sports bar. i'm from cincinnati, and i always stop by penn quarter's when i'm visiting dc. both times i've been there has been a party for some sporting team (xavier basketball and boston hockey). all sports are always on and the rivalry between fans is friendly. the outdoor area is great on a nice day.

thefoodis typical pubfoodand they carry a nice selection of beer - including yeungling lager.

i look foward to going back, hopefully before a big sporting event.

not even worth one star. i have never had a more horrible experience then the one i had here! the service was awful and thefoodwas gross!

4:20 - sat down (we were a table of four)
4:25 - gave our drink order (a pitcher of beer)
4:35 - gave ourfoodorder (two baked potatoes, two sandwiches, two orders of wings)
4:45 - finally got our pitcher of beer
5:20 - got one order of wings (my brothers and his girlfriend) and we ordered another pitcher of beer
5:30 - got the other order of wings (finally my boyfriend and i get some food!) and the two sandwiches. by the way, the man who brought ourfoodalso washed the dishes and took out the trash!
5:37 - our "loaded" baked potatoes arrived (not loaded!) not to mention we had no forks!
5:45 - our waitress came with forks... by then our potatoes were cold.
5:50 - our pitcher of beer came
5:51 - my brother went in to talk to the manager. he was told he would be right out…
6:00 - no manager! so my boyfriend went in to talk to the manager.
6:10 - the girls went in to talk to the manager! the manager was the rudest person! when we explained that ourfoodwas cold and took over an hour to get it he asked "well, did you eat it?" i told him if he came out 20 minutes ago when we asked for him he would know that i had not. he explained that that was just how it is here. can you believe that? i told him we weren't paying for bad food. we told him we would only pay for the beer and wings (since honestly they weren't that bad) and by the way the beer and wings cost us $40 a couple!
6:15 - as we sat finishing our beer (since it was so expensive) our waitress lit up her black and mild and began to talk trash about us to another table. (the table to our left sent back their coldfoodand left). thank god we were able to turn away a potential five tables while we sat there. trust me we saved you guys from overpriced, grossfoodbrought to you by trashy, slow, dirty service!

everybody knows your name. thefoodand drink are terrific, but it's the personal attention and attentive staff that makes me keep coming back. the renovations to the downstairs restaurant are great! looking forward to hanging out on the outdoor patio this summer. keep up the good work...i'm telling all my friends to check it out!
