With brick-oven pizzas, mouth-watering burgers, and freshly caught fish — no matter what kind of diner you are looking for from casual to adventurous, City Tap House DC guarantees they will satisfy you and your guests' appetite. City Tap House DC prides themselves on using locally sourced ingredients. Their chefs are experts in their craft and, like their favorite brewers, champion innovation, integrity and hard work. Above all, City Tap House DC's goal is to see their food and craft beer enhance your special event and ensure it is one your guests will love. For City Tap House DC, craft is everything. “Craft” is most often defined as doing things by hand. For City Tap House DC, craft is complex, innovative beers. Craft is food that inspires and surprises the palate. Craft is service that delights and exceeds expectations. Most importantly, craft means championing love and integrity in every aspect of what they do. From India Pale to Berliner Weisse, Fruited Wheats to Barrel-Aged Stouts, the world of craft beer is rich with variety and innovation. With so much beer to try, entering this world can feel overwhelming. Throw in jargon like “hoppy-ness,” “cask-conditioned,” and “brettanomyces” — it’s easy to drown in the vocabulary of craft beer alone! But that’s why City Tap House DC is here: to make craft beer accessible to all. In City Tap House DC's kitchen, craft comes first. Like beer slowly fermenting in a tank, their food is prepared with equal parts precision and patience. Lead by Executive Chef, Ian Branning our menu blends personal expertise with regional traditions to make something daring and refreshing.

With Umaya, you can enjoy the serenity and simplicity of a Western-style beer garden combined with traditional Asian plates and a dining experience that is both authentic and modern. As the name suggests, Umaya DC specializes in the ever-popular Japanese "street food," with well-seasoned chefs putting their own spins on time-honored dishes. Classic dishes such as sushi and ramen, as well as authentic Izakaya masterpieces, can be found on the restaurant's menu. Umaya will delight your senses in every way, from the refreshing décor to the Asian comfort food and the scent of the Izakaya grill.. Umaya brings a much-needed Izakaya presence to the nation's capital, which was previously lacking. It is similar to tapas restaurants in that they encourage guests to share and enjoy their time together over a few drinks, which is always the case at an izakaya restaurant. A wide selection of beer and sake will be available at Umaya, which will complement the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere of the restaurant. Every few months, the seasonal menu will be updated, but favorite staples will remain on the menu. In Japanese, the word 'Umaya' literally translates as a 'place that tastes good.' In contrast to your traditional upscale sushi restaurant, Umaya is a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself after work, on weekends, or whenever you need to relax and unwind. Our team at Umaya Izakaya is ready to assist you if you are looking for a spectacular space to host your next family occasion or business gathering in the greater Los Angeles area. Designed to accommodate groups of 20 to 100 people, our private sections are available for rent. Parties of up to 119 people seated and 284 people standing can be accommodated in the entire restaurant, including the al fresco dining area. Cocktail parties, corporate events, holiday parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, brunches, and almost any other type of event you can think of are all things we enjoy doing at our establishment. You can turn your dreams into a reality by coming to Umaya.

Our vine-covered patios and indoor dining places are ideal for a variety of intimate gatherings. Big Bear Cafe is located in the middle of Washington, DC, in a quiet residential neighborhood. It's a 120-year-old Victorian commercial townhouse with cobblestone patios, floral gardens, trees, and old native grape vines surrounding it. Big Bear Cafe is a local cafe, coffeeshop, and restaurant with a long tradition of award-winning chefs, outstanding food, and friendly service. The indoor eating room features a full-service classic bar, exposed brick and plaster walls, and rough-hewn hardwood tables made from the original 120-year-old Big Bear Market's recovered beams. The area is candle-lit at night, and tables are set up for large communal table dining or individual dining. Alternatively, the space could be freed for an open-floor reception. The outside garden patio can be used in conjunction with the internal space to provide an additional outdoor space (such as an outdoor dining space, reception drinking area, outdoor fire pit seating area, presentation space, or other special activity). The second level has wood-paneled walls, a wood fireplace, and exposed brick walls, making it a great rustic environment. This space is ideal for cocktail events or seated group dinners.

Taking inspiration from the region's love of premium-quality olive oil, we cook with minimal use of heavy sauces and creams, instead focusing on the fresh flavors that are essential to the Mediterranean Diet.

Farmers & Distillers would like to welcome you. NEW DC MASK POLICY IN EFFECT MASKS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT. Unless you are seated for a meal in our dining room, we require all guests and staff to wear masks indoors in accordance with current local government rules and regulations. Please keep in mind that this applies to both guests and employees who have received vaccinations. North Dakota Farmers Union, led by Mark Watne, has opened Farmers & Distillers, the state's newest and most diverse restaurant. The restaurant is a collaboration between our restaurateurs, Mike Vucurevich and Dan Simons, and the more than 47,000 farmers who make up North Dakota Farmers Union, our farmer-owners. We opened Founding Farmers and Farmers Fishers Bakers because we wanted to bring diners closer to the source of their food, whether that be through geography or through knowledge of the food. Here at Farmers & Distillers, we are continuing the tradition while also raising the bar by shortening the food supply chain, increasing demand, and bringing American family-farm products closer to the plate and the glass. Whether it's the grain that goes into our bread, the barley that goes into our beer, or the dairy that goes into our butter, the stronger the farmer, the better the food, and the tastier the drink is going to be. Farmers & Distillers would like to welcome you. Farmers & Distillers is rooted in George Washington's American industriousness and keen eye for opportunity, which are ingrained in the very foundation of this country and in every aspect of the company. As we navigated our way north, we kept asking ourselves, "What would George do?" in terms of flavor, cooking technique, and atmosphere. President Washington served as our true north. The dishes at Farmers & Distillers showcase his well-documented passions for European cooking techniques as well as pioneering American flavors, and we invite you to join us on a diverse culinary journey that we imagine he would have enjoyed. President Washington's approach to leveraging the lands and water at his beloved estate, Mount Vernon, as well as the skills and abilities of those in his immediate vicinity, directed us to pay homage to our Mt Vernon Square neighborhood, which included the immigrant settlers of yesterday and the Chinatown neighborhood of today, as well as the skills and abilities of those in his immediate vicinity. This incredible journey has led us to the creation of our one-of-a-kind offerings, which we are thrilled to share with you.

Denson is available for purchase in either its entirety or in portions. Our bar, booths, and high tops are the ideal setting for any special occasion. Our knowledgeable staff can assist you in developing and implementing the vision for your next event. This real liquor bar offers a pleasant respite from the stresses of the modern world above it. Expect traditional cocktails to be the core of the bar's offerings, as well as a focused spirits list that includes both favorites and new discoveries. Various delicacies, including oysters and shrimp cocktail, light and hearty nibbles, and dessert, are available in the kitchen to accommodate whatever your evening may bring. We accept and encourage reservations for all of our booths and barstools, with the remaining space available on a first-come, first-served basis.
