For those still feeling the need to leave reviews after pint’s doors have shut, I’d like to offer a different perspective. In an age where online criticism gives the vengeful guest far too much power, I’d like to remember what this place really was.

Here’s to Brookland Pint, my second home.
To me and to many others, this place was not just a restaurant, but a safe haven. A heartbeat in the neighborhood, a warm light spilling out onto Monroe Street, drawing in people from every walk of life.

I got to watch lives unfold here, year after year.. I got to serve a couple on their very first date and later pour their celebratory shots on the night of their engagement. I learned the standing order of the parents whose newborn was in the hospital down the street. I poured beer for the man who had just lost his wife, and I got to offer a quiet space to those who simply needed somewhere to sit and not be alone. I got to celebrate birthdays, graduations, baby showers, new jobs, and all the little milestones that deserved a cheer. And I shared in the heartbreaks too..stories of loss, divorce, and loneliness told across the bar with the kind of trust only a stranger can sometimes hold.

I also got to meet people I never would have otherwise! Neighbors, students, professors, artists, families, even celebrities(!)all of whom somehow found common ground in a pint glass or a shared meal. Many of them I now get to call family.

Of course, it wasn’t always smooth. The inevitable angry crowds when the wait was too long, taps that kicked in the middle of a pour, and guests who forgot that the people serving them were human too. There were nights of exhaustion, sticky floors, and jokes traded in the service alley just to keep each other going. And when something (inevitably) went wrong, we’d laugh and shrug and also joke about well.. Pint!

Brookland Pint was never about perfection, it was about people. About a small staff who poured their hearts into this place, about regulars who claimed their favorite seats, about strangers who walked in alone and left feeling just a little less lonely.

That’s the beauty of a small business: it doesn’t run on efficiency, but on love, chaos, and the fragile, extraordinary work of creating a space where anyone could belong.

So many lives passed through those doors, leaving pieces of themselves behind, taking pieces of us with them. Though the lights are out now and the barstools empty, its spirit lingers..in memory, in community, in every story told over a pint.

And if people cannot appreciate places like Pint because they expect them to run like a Cheesecake Factory or some polished corporate chain, then one day we’ll only be left with restaurants where you order through a screen bolted to the table.

So slow down. Take your dining experiences a little less seriously. Be kind to the people serving you. Notice the imperfections and love them for what they are. Appreciate your surroundings, the people across from you, and the humanity happening all around.

Lastly, a reminder to thank your local bar for quietly holding so much of your joy, your grief, and your lives together.

We came on a Wednesday evening and this place was packed! It was a trivia game night and we loved it! We got seated very quickly and our server was extremely friendly. Nice beers on taps and drinks were pretty decent. Ordered a nachos and chicken sandwich. Both tasted decent and portion are pretty large

Great lunch here today, we enjoyed everything from the food, drinks, to the service.

Definitely try their nachos, their cheese sauce is other worldly good. The have a nice balance of pico and jalapenos on that thang.

I had the beyond burger with bacon (yes, I know), caramelized onions, and jalapenos (and it comes with lettuce and tomato). It was done really well. Fries were perfect and the pint mixed greens salad is great, and you can throw a falafel on that thang.

My friend had the meatball sub which he enjoyed with his beer. I had a bloody Mary and their house mix is solid.

Layla our server did a great job, super friendly, helpful, and attentive.

List of tap beers are interesting, the food portions are pretty big for us. Cobb salad is freshly prepared and tasty while chicken sandwiches is too saucy. Service was okay. Nice to give them a try

To say this was a disappointing experience is an understatement. We ordered via Uber Eats and my partner ordered a salad that was supposed to come with salmon. The salad came with no salmon, but his salad was semi decent. I ordered what was supposed to be a bowl with half rice/half lettuce, crispy Brussels sprouts, and chopped broccolini with pecorino, topped with falafel. As you can see from the attached photos it was very far from this. It was literally an assault of lettuce with tomatoes and carrots. No Brussels sprouts, no broccolini, and few grains of rice. So I decided to make this work by picking out the few grains of rice, the falafel and some of the lettuce with the pecorino and add some balsamic vinaigrette I had in my refrigerator for some taste. As I bit into the falafel, they tasted like freezer burned Trader Joe’s falafel that were somehow wet. The few grains of rice were undercooked. I could not make it through this and had to throw the whole thing out.

I’ve walked past this place for years, and I was getting ready to walk past it again, thinking it was closed because I didn’t see anyone moving around inside right away. As I slowly walked by considering that I would go in if they were open, I saw a few people sitting inside through the window. I doubled back and entered and I am sooooo glad I did. I was seated right away and TJ, my server was beyond excellent. There is a lot to said about a person comfortable in their skin and just happy to BE. I would go back just to visit TJ, he was just that GREAT, but the food was DIVINE as well. I had made up my mind that I wanted a BURGHA, and that is exactly what I got, with every topping except egg and mushrooms. It was still bigger than my whole face and while it was a bit of a challenge to eat, I enjoyed every bit of it, even the sauce as it ran down my arm and dripped back into my plate. That’s how you know you’ve got a good BURGHA. The fries were hot and crispy and TJ kept the Shirley Temples coming at every sight of an empty glass. I barely had room for dessert, but I squeezed in a decadent Tiramisu anyway. The next time I want a BURGHA, this will be my go to place… …something tells me that it will be sooner rather than later. They’ve been at this location for 8 years, so if you haven’t stopped in yet, there is no time like the present.

The staff was average tbh. We ordered a beer and were moved around twice with first being from table to outside and then second outside to inside on high stool. All with beer in hand and spilling around. Would have expected more from this ahead

It was a busier Friday night and the place was quite full. We got a seat outside and the overall space was nice, nothing overly unique. They were busy but the service was still a bit slow and some of our food came out wrong. The cocktails were good as was the beer selection. I’d say a fine spot for a fine meal if you’re in the area.

Brookland Pint is the spiritual embodiment of Meridian Pint’s former Petworth location. (Meridian Pint’s new location in Virginia is just #sad…see my review there.) Brookland Pint has an excellent beer lineup, bartenders who know beer well, the same excellent nachos that fans of Petworth’s Meridian Pint would remember, and creative food options. The after-work happy hour is a nightly opportunity to try the nachos on discount as are a few late-night happy hour opportunities. The Hickory Burger is awesome — barbecue pulled pork is the new bacon.

Coming here for years. I love the atmosphere, the food/drinks and especially everyone who works here. Very friendly vibe for a solo date or dinner/drinks with friends and family. Great beer selection and just enough.
