Great dining experience on the wharf! Came for dinner around 6pm and there was no wait to sit outside. Good service and food. Not pictured: oysters. The fish & chips were great, the batter was perfect. The lobster roll was good, but I wish the bread was bigger and toasted with butter. The seating was nice, with a great view of the river and boats.
Would come back again!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the servers are friendly and attentive.

I ordered the fish and chips. I enjoyed the chips and the tartar sauce the came with them. The batter for the fish was a bit doughier/greasier than I would have liked but not too bad; just not my favourite.

A beautiful place off the wharf. We were looking for a place to grab lunch.
We had some delicious fresh raw oysters and the Irish steak sandwich. My son had fish and chips.
The bread for the sandwich could have been toasted just a little more but the flavor was delicious.
The batter on the fish was tasty and light.
Overall good stopping spot for a bite to eat.

I stopped in on a weekday lunch and it was easy to get a seat. The service was quick and friendly, the food was delicious, and the place was a nice chill atmosphere. I had the chicken pot pie and a glass of Magners and honestly can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Stopped by for a quick bite, ordered the fish and chips. Food came out quick and was hot, great flavor. I would order again. They had a band playing, which was nice.

Kirwan’s on the Wharf – An Authentic Irish Experience in the Heart of DC

Nestled right on the marina at The Wharf, Kirwan’s offers one of the most charming waterfront dining experiences in Washington, DC. Its location is unbeatable: just steps from The Anthem concert hall and surrounded by the vibrant Wharf district, it’s the ideal stop for dinner or drinks after a show or a stroll along the pier.

The atmosphere is warm and lively, blending Irish tradition with the energy of DC’s modern waterfront. Live Irish music on weekends fills the space with authentic charm, while three distinct bars provide the perfect setting for anything from a casual pint to a festive night out.

The menu features a thoughtful mix of traditional Irish fare and contemporary dishes, all made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. My wife was delighted with her fresh salmon salad, while I truly enjoyed their signature Irish burger — both dishes exceeded our expectations. Pair your meal with a pint of Guinness or one of their craft beer selections for the full experience.

Service is excellent — attentive staff and even the manager personally checking in to ensure everything was perfect. Since opening in October 2017, Kirwan’s has carried forward the spirit of the Irish community that once thrived in this area, creating what they call “your Irish home away from home.”

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Kirwan’s on the Wharf is more than a restaurant — it’s a destination that combines food, culture, and hospitality with one of the best views in the city.

Good food and drinks indeed. Outdoor seating available. Perfect spot to enjoy the good weather. It was busy on a saturday we went. However the service was faster. We ordered crispy fish and chips, lamb burger and Crab cake sandwich. All were good and delicious. I recomend crab cake sandwich and Lamb sandwich over the fish and chips. Not the best fish and chips I had. Also the weekend menu is different from the rest. Also no happy hour on weekends. But its on the same menu.

Great experience, great service.

We often come to DC for family when we visit from central Pennsylvania, and this was our first time here. Everything was delicious and the burger was perfect.

Great spot on the wharf!

Visited from out of town and chose to go here on a Thursday night for dinner. It was surprisingly busy, but we got seated quickly. Wait staff was great and we had some delicious food. I ordered the Shepherd’ pie and I was filling! The lamb was really delicious. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and it was probably the heartiest serving I’ve seen at a restaurant. Very fresh and super flaky.

Great atmosphere, cute decoration. Food was good and the server and other staff very professional and diverse. Most, if not all, were bilingual. Location is great and prices are ok for the area. Several Irish pub classic dishes and beers and other good options. Special beer prices when there is a DC United Game. Happy hour from 3 pm to 6 pm
