Golden Age is a fun old school DC restaurant with an almost speakeasy type vibe and fantastic cocktails. Definitely take advantage of their happy hour. I recommend having a reservation, but we arrived shortly after they opened at 5pm and were able to snag a table for two. Their food menu is just the right size: appetizers, small plates and a few entrees. We tried a few of the small plates and then ordered the pub burger and chicken kabobs for our main dishes. I highly recommend the lamb kabob as well. The confit potatoes are tasty too. My husband said his burger was on point. I enjoyed the chicken kabobs with couscous. We finished with some yummy beignets. Our server was awesome. She made some great cocktail and food recommendations. We will be back. Thanks for a great evening in DC. 🙂

Vibe was immaculate, very old school speakeasy esque. Great happy hour with a $10 shot and a beer. The burger was one of the better burgers I’ve had in the city.

Had a wonderful time at this bar. The cocktails were expertly crafted and the food was delicious. The live music created a charming and inviting atmosphere and the service was outstanding. We truly felt like we were among friends and family

I liked this place! Lovely decor and vibe, cozy with a vintage feel. We had a double date here. The menu is extensive, and both drinks I had (Paloma and Naked and Famous) were quite good. Prices are steep but not unreasonable. My chicken kebab with yogurt was alright, spicy and favorable but not super memorable. My partner’s burger was delish. Nice servers although occasionally disorganized, like we had two waiters for our table. Not too noisy, so it’s a good place for conversation.

Great place for drinks and food, a good girls night or wine night or relaxing evening for 30s and up! Great ambience and darker lighting sets a good mood and atmosphere. Love it here and continue to bring friends to enjoy the gem close to DuPont!

Fantastic spot! The drinks are to die for—try the spicy bees knees!— and the food is great. The atmosphere is perfectly moody and the music is good and played there perfect level so that it can be enjoyed but it is still easy to hear conversation with your party. I especially love the cozy couches in the back lounge.

I just picked this bar because I could get to it quickly from where I was based, and I heard they served late night food. I’m so glad I did. Turns out they serve food all night! So even though it was after 10pm when I arrived, I could get a full delicious double patty burger. Unfortunately, I ate it too quickly and forgot to take a picture.
Their cocktails were also great, really good selection and not overly expensive. I had a classic daiquiri and a Sazerac, both of which were made perfectly.
Service was very pleasant and very quick.

Excellent food, decent cocktails, unique decor and middling service rounds out Golden Age.

We pretty much enjoyed everything we tried:

6 HOUR LAMB KEBABS (Sumac & Mint Chimichurri) – perfect lamb, tender and well seasoned.

GOLDEN CRAB FRITTERS (Jumbo Lump Blue Crab, Fresh Sweet Corn, Saffron Aioli & Lemon) – scrumptious bites, great combo of flavors in each.

DRY AGED STEAK SANDWICH (Ciabatta Roll, Horseradish, Pickles, Grilled Onion & Bib Lettuce. Served with Zapp’s Chips) – the steak and the horseradish were perfect, and they had an excellent ciabatta roll to make this a superb sandwich.

THE BURGER (Dry Aged Double Patty, Shallot, Dijon Mustard & Cheese. Served With Zapp’s Chips) – stupendous smashed burger.

As for cocktails, their menu could have been more creative but I enjoyed the BLACK MANHATTAN (Rye, Amaro & Bitters) and the FINAL WARD (Rye, Strega, Marashino & Lemon), both were well made if a bit too conventual.

We went here on a Wed evening and it was fairly empty. We sat at a table but had no real server, just a rotating set of folks from behind the bar who would come out and random times. No big deal here, I get the staffing challenges these days but the issue was there was no communication between them, so things came out missing items that had been requested, and we had to get up and go to the bar to ask for another drink. There’s a much better version for how this can work.

Definitely would return for the food, not sure about the drinks, but would definitely hope for more consistent service

This place is perfect for a date night! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, and everything from the rustic menus to the holiday decorations make it beautifully cozy and intimate. We had beignets, the potatoes, and three drinks, each of which came out incredibly quickly and tasted amazing. Highly recommend!
