Comments on: Beer on the Hill http://www.thehillishome.com/2009/10/beer-on-the-hill/ News and information for Washington DC's Capitol Hill communities Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:43:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Chris in Eckington http://www.thehillishome.com/2009/10/beer-on-the-hill/comment-page-1/#comment-489 Chris in Eckington Sat, 17 Oct 2009 21:33:08 +0000 http://www.thehillishome.com/?p=2601#comment-489 If you're excluding H St, my choices for DRAFT beer on the Hill are as follows: 1. Matchbox 2. 18th Amendment 3. Capitol Lounge (also good bottle selection) 4. Belga (I know only four drafts, but you won't find them anywhere else on the Hill, and they have a great bottle selection) 5. Ugly Mug (although it borders on the ordinary and the atmosphere lives a little to be desired) Other places (such as Tunnicliffs) have a lot of taps, but their selections are pretty pedestrian.

Agreed about Birreria though. RFD, while they have a great selection, has all the atmosphere of an office lobby in Reston, so I'll pass. @Rich, to be clear, these are beer experiences – not the best beer.

I'm constantly lamenting the lack of decent beer options on the Hill. That's not to say many places serve "bad" beer, but the selections are so generic and pedestrian. Lola's is the perfect example. Nothing terrible; nothing great; nothing changes. Matchbox is the only place where you can get an above average draft. But even there you are lucky if they rotate in one new beer every few months. Pizza Paradiso/Gtown is still the gold standard in DC, with RFD and Commonwealth in the next tier. Good beer is also apparently in the eye of the beholder.

An actual printed beer menu, trash food, and dancing every night? No cover ever. You just have to find it at 1104 H since there is - and never will be - a sign.
