For us, craft is everything. “Craft” is most often defined as doing things by hand. But we’d like to be more specific. For us, craft is complex, innovative beers. Craft is food that inspires and surprises the palate. Craft is service that delights and exceeds your expectations. Most importantly, craft means championing love and integrity in every aspect of what we do. Great beer and even better food — for everyone. We’ve been dedicated to that very simple idea since 2010. Please join us at the bar. We’ve been saving you a seat.

No one really works here. There’s staff that sit you, if you can get their attention. Then someone brings you water and food. Otherwise, you order with the QR code. Then it asks for a tip? A tip for what?!
Food was good but just not good enough to overcome the lack of service. I understand the changes to restaurant servers in DC but this was a bit much.

We recently hosted an event at City Tap Penn Quarter, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the staff was incredible — so helpful, professional, and genuinely kind. Shae, our event coordinator, was fantastic to work with and made planning so easy. She helped us choose a delicious menu that everyone loved, and the team went above and beyond on the day of the event.
They helped us set up, cut and arranged the flowers we brought into vases, and made sure every detail was perfect. Our servers, De’ja and Teetee, were attentive, friendly, and professional, and the manager even jumped in to help us get our presentation slides onto the TV. The food was outstanding! We received so many compliments from our guests.
City Tap Penn Quarter exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend them for any private event. They made everything seamless, special, and stress-free!

Really enjoyed our visit to City Tap House. The food and beer we got here were great. I enjoyed the fish and chips with coleslaw.

Generous portions of good food, reasonable prices, attentive service. Lots of choices on the menu. My friend opted for the Sesame-Apple Crunch Salad ($16.50) while I enjoyed the City Tap Cubano with Fries ($18.75). A neighborhood pub atmosphere in downtown DC.

City tap is pleasing aesthetically when you walk in. First and foremost the fact that there is no “server” taking orders is interesting to me. When asked about why there is no server, it was explained the manager changed the process to an application based only order system. There is no way to ask questions about the menu nor is there anyway to make any adjustments. No one came by to offer additional water after we were eating our food and the woman at the bar appeared to have an attitude asking for more. We ordered a frozen strawberry daiquiri, however, just brought out on the rocks because the blender was broken and was only explained after the fact. I’m not entirely sure what was going on in the kitchen. Sadly—across the board there was no flavor in the food we ordered. The mussels and carne asada tacos did not have much flavor which was a disappointment. About 5 mussels didn’t have any meat in them nor were they in the bowl. However two things that were enjoyed were the avocado for the tacos and the ribeye was delicious with the gravy. Lastly, the fact that the check automatically tried to include a 22% tip for the service that didn’t exist is outrageous. Will not return.

Got it — here’s a version tailored for the City Tap House 9th Street DC location:
I stopped by the 9th Street City Tap House Penn Quarter and tried the meatballs along with the NFL loaded pretzels. Both were excellent — hearty, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The atmosphere feels like an old tavern blended with a modern sports bar, and it’s backed up with streamlined ordering and delivery that makes the whole experience smooth.
The staff at this location were outstanding: friendly, fast, and attentive without hovering. Even with a busy game-day crowd, everything ran seamlessly, and the food came out fresh and hot.
If you’re in DC and want a spot with great food, top-notch service, and a lively sports vibe, the 9th Street City Tap is an awesome place!

Great food! Salmon, Black Angus Burger, Cuban, and excellent clam chowder.
This is a restaurant where you use the QR code to order everything. Very user-friendly app.
Service was friendly and prompt!
Outdoors is doggo friendly. They brought out a bowl of ice water for the pup too.
Nice place!!

It’s a Tap my fellow Americans, keep that in mind when reading the reviews. Now to the review. You will be greeted at the door, moved to your table, and asked to scan a QR code for service. This is odd to is 1980s / 1990s kids. If you have questions about the beer or drinks, you’ll have to the bar tender, who will know. The food was good and fast to the table. In the app you will have to add your credit card data but it allows for quick food and drink turn around. (It does request a tip, up to you and your conscience). Other than great food, and different service, I’d say this is a great “bro” place for bullshiting and having a few. (Beer was amazing)

Management rest on location and not service.
Here for a business lunch with an international group and locals. We sat in a section behind the bar. Several members of our party wanted ice tea. The server informed us that we had to order it from the bar. We waited several minutes (it was very very busy). Realizing that the bartenders were slammed and unlikely to look behind them, I ventured down to the front to let them know.
A server, think black girl with long hair, at the bottom of the steps forcibly told me I MUST order from the back of the bar. I told her that I knew the bartenders were busy and just wanted them to know. She proceeded to be incredibly rude. I did go to the front and the bartenders were very gracious and polite.
I asked to speak with the manager. The manager came over to speak with one of the group leaders about an issue. You could tell he was already flustered. I managed to get his attention when done and explained the situation. He got angry with me and explicitly and contemptuously stated “I look forward to your review!”. I tried telling him that i would want to know if one of my employees was rude to someone. He didn’t care.
As you can see from my reviews, I am rarely very negative. And I realize that this restaurant has a large out of town patronage (by the convention center). But I do believe that Management should be more customer focused and that people who are considering a place understand the venues they are considering.
Management should be trained to diffuse a situation, not piss off customers to the point where they take time out of their schedule to write a nageative review.
Tip: stay away from that server
Tip 2: if there is an issue, do not expect the day manager to care.
Tip 3: visit as a last resort

Happiest hour. Definitely hit up their happy hour, great prices beer and food. The Yuca and empanadas were sooo tasty. Not sure that they still are doing the app ordering the negative reviews mentioned. I sat at the bar and there were plenty of bar tenders taking orders and serving just like you’d expect. Enrique was the bartender serving me and was very welcoming and friendly. Really can’t reccomend this place enough. Great vibes, drinks and food.
