Penn Quarter Sports Tavern: A Vibrant Sports Bar in Washington, DC

Great place to watch sports. We visited Penn Quarter Sports Tavern on a Saturday afternoon, and it gradually filled up prior to the Ravens game. There are two floors to the bar with an outdoor area as well. Televisions surround the dining area on the first floor, and there are ample televisions on the first floor as well as a few outside. There are even televisions in the bathrooms! I ordered the apple cider hot toddy to drink and the cheese curds as a snack. The hot toddy was watery and bland. The cheese curds were some of the best that I have ever tried and were paired with phenomenal dipping sauce. Overall, I would recommend Penn Quarter Sports Tavern for the sports watching environment and cheese curds but not for the cocktails.

Visiting DC and needed a place to watch the Texas Longhorn game. Fun tavern with upstairs and downstairs bar and restaurant service. We had a great time. Food was great and service was good. Lots of options. Chris and Alicia did a great job for all of us. Easy service. Will definitely return when back in DC.

In town for a vacation. Popped in on a Tuesday during lunch - found a table and sat down. Waiter came over fairly quickly to provide water and menus. I ordered a smash type burger and my partner ordered a burger with an egg. I had a cocktail and he had a coke. The cocktail blackberry vanilla martini came with a sugar rim and was way too sweet. The sugar was an unadvertised add to the drink. The waiter did not check in on the quality of the drink. Our food arrived and I asked that person to give me a glass full of ice. I poured the drink over ice and waited. Eventually, it turned from a 1 to a 3. The burgers were both hits. They don't provide condiments automatically so you have to ask for them. The fries were piping hot and great.

This is my 2nd visit, i normally just stop by if im ever in the area, they have great menu options for a quick meetup with friends, family, or even just to chill and see a game this place is always pretty busy. The service is always friendly, focused and fast I was satisfied with how quickly everything came out. The do have indoor/outdoor seating along with a 2nd floor bar as well, they can get pretty packed! So head over on happy hour one day and check out their vibe

For a sport tavern in the tourist district, I was pleasantly surprised at the Penn Quarter Sports tavern. The place was slam-packed on a busy Sunday, but everyone was extremely friendly and the food was fast and fresh. We sat at the bar and started with margaritas which was a great choice. The spicy marg was definitely strong and had the spicy kick we were looking forward to having. For a sports tavern, the guacamole was excellent and had no business being as solid as it was. I would have loved if the chips came out warm, but they were good as is. The rest of the food was as expected, nothing exceptional, but perfect for the price and location.

Dropped in for a drink after a visit to the Archives. Had the frozen margarita. A great drink. The flavors never got watered down. The sangria was refreshing as well. The best thing was the cheese curds. Fluffly cheese in a light crunchy batter coating. One of the best curds we've had. Plus a nice portion size. Nice and close to the Archives Metro.
