"I come to Shaw 's Tavern pretty much every week for trivia with Jeremy--which is awesome. Some of the best prizes in town and supports a local business instead of big trivia. And while the food happy hour specials end at 7PM, the drink happy hour specials run all night on trivia nights!The best deal is the happy hour pizza for $9. They are massive for that price. I prefer the white one, as the red one can get greasy, and love the option to pay $1 for cauliflower crust. Another great deal is the huge side of mac n ' cheese for only $5. It tastes pretty much exactly like boxed mac n ' cheese and isn 't anything to right home about, but is a great budget option or add-on to something else for not too much extra. In terms of drinks, the happy hour cocktails are all pretty bad (or perhaps just sweet) and I 'd recommend getting a well drink or beer instead.In terms of quality food, I love the Brussels and Kale salad (I add grilled chicken typically) or the Loaded Nachos, which come in a skillet. The nachos would be greatly improved by the use of pickled jalapenos instead of raw ones, but alas. My favorite thing is actually the peach cobber. Warm and baked with a crust, not too sweet, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The main downsides to Shaw 's Tavern are that they always seem to be out of ingredients--one week we can 't get peach cobbler, one week we can 't get cauliflower crust, one week we can 't get X, Y, Z. And the service is always mixed. Some nights the service is good, and some nights it takes twenty minutes to place an order and they forget your silverware and drink. And, oddly, it doesn 't seem to correlate to how busy the restaurant is or who our server is. I can 't figure it out! I don 't really come for the food--I come for trivia--but I do typically wait to eat there because it is better than anything I 'd make at home!"

Decent spot, food price was okay. Atmosphere music was good and heaters in the closed outside was a plus.

I ordered white pizza and that’s what I’ve got… &pizza would make it better! This pizza is a joke! The cheese is only in the middle kind of and the rest is the only bread… do you call this a pizza?! The worst thing I’ve ever got!

Came here for brunch with family. Service was great and the food was delicious. I got the French toast with a side of sausage and eggs. My family got an assortment of food and we topped everything off with bottomless mimosas. We all enjoyed ourselves. View menu

Solid brunch with unlimited mimosas as an option! The atmosphere is trendy and the service was fantastic. You have the option to dine inside or outside and you cannot go wrong either way. Cheers to the server that made the experience that much better I forget his name but he held the fort.

This is a local favorite, making for busy and energetic weekends. The food was fantastic, but because of the large crowds (especially for boozy brunches), the service can be on the slower side. That being said, everyone is super nice and eager to help out if you're in a rush and haven't seen your server in a minute. Would definitely come back, but might skip weekend afternoons trying to avoid the brunch crowd for quicker service
Tiffany
A nice brunch place. Food was average but the service was pretty good when we went. We asked if they could find a spot for me and my boyfriend since we both came with luggages and they were able to accommodate that for us. Bbq chicken wings tasted great. Chicken and waffles were ok. The chicken was a bit dry and the waffle sorta tasted like cornbread which was something I didn't expect. It still tasted good and the waffle absorbed the syrup very well. View menu

I had a really great time here. The ambiance was great music selection could have been a bit better, but still a nice vibe nonetheless.The service was great as well. Stephanie did a great job tending to us and she kept the drinks coming (definitely take advantage of the bottomless mimosas, they literally did feel bottomless.)The food was delicious. I ate the baileys french toast and the habanero wings. The wings could have been a bit more spicier, but it was still tasty.i will definitely come here again.

My friend and I had just finished our finals and decided to grab a bite to eat. We had a fantastic dining experience - the food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was nice. We decided to order the herb Atlantic salmon with rice, and it was absolutely scrumptious. The sauce and rice were especially tasty. I also treated myself to the hibiscus house margarita, which was amazing. I'm new to DC and was surprised to find that most restaurants don't open until 5pm in this area. Thankfully, Shaw's Tavern was open and saved me from starving this afternoon. Thank you!
