They lost me with sophisticated and upscale when noting sister restaurant Sign of the Whale, unless this is Bill to Sign of the Whale’s Roger Clinton.
Please. It’s not a hillbilly cigar bar.
Sounds legendary, bro.
I imagine this will be the scene outside after closing time:

Thanks for the link, if only because it lead me to the Best Of Randy Marsh compilation.
I only trust this dude. If he says its legendary, than it’s legendary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQPgTJqdiUw
Only 20 televisions? I hope they’re just talking about the ones in the bathroom.
Legendary!
I don’t have high hopes for this place. It’s opening in three days, and the exterior still looks like crap. They couldn’t have done much with the inside in this short a time, either.
Not sure what part of it is a “new concept” either. Pretty sure I can name about 40 similar places within half a mile.
Happy Hour until 8PM. ‘Nuf said.
I mean this place would really have to really really suck for me to pay double price for the same thing across the street.
Nothing with 20 televisions is ever going to qualify as “sophisticated.”
Roger that!
The beer list seems pretty uninspired for a place called the tap house.
What’s an “inspired” beer list? What does that even mean? I don’t drink to get inspired. I drink to get drunk and I sure as hell don’t want a beer list that thinks it’s better than I am. Because I’ll kick its f**king ass.
“Along with legendary service” Funny how they haven’t opened yet but the service is already legendary.
haha!
Apparently whoever wrote the website language has no idea what “legendary” means. I will bet my house and my first-born child that there will never, ever be anything legendary about this place. It will clearly be another faceless, unremarkable, and probably mediocre place with lots of beer and TVs. In other words it will be just like many other places in D.C.
chill
i think they were kidding
It literally kills me when people use terms like “legendary” incorrectly.

Congrats, you figured out the joke!
Im up for trying something before i knock it even if indications say otherwise.
And im not usually sensetive to drink names i.e Irish car bomb. But when you name a drink (sunday bloody sunday) after a massacre in which innocent men women and CHILDREN were MURDERED it not only shows great stupidity but also that zero though has gone into this place! What next ’9/11′ cocktails? ‘Dead soldiers’ for happy hour??? Unbelieveably insensitive!!
P.S. Guinness on draft is either a stout or a lager it cant be both!! like having a red chardonnay! ‘Tap room’ my arse!
im sure the patrons of this bars previous incarnation will really appreciate that! Way to keep the regulars happy tap room
you know that the IRA killed innocent people with car bombs right?
yes I do, did you know that innocent people on BOTH sides were killed by car bombs planted by BOTH sides? Whilst i dislike the name ‘Irish car bomb’ My issue is with the fact that the name of the drink refers to a specific incident. I made no reference to either side of the conflict, so please dont try to make this a political argument with you half ass knowledge!
Go troll somewhere else please?
don’t be an ass. you mentioned that you were cool with irish car bomb, but not something named for an event where innocent people died. if you can’t figure out why i said what i did, thats your own fault.
What are you reading? Where did I say I was ‘cool’ with Irish car bomb?
There’s a difference between being able to ignore a dumb generic term and bein cool with it.
Thanks for backing up your comments with ‘if you can’t figure out my comment its your fault’ what this translates to is you know your comment was dumb and you can’t think of an excuse to explain it
my first comment was completely factual, and you replied with insults. well done. i hope you feel better, must have been a tough day.
your first comment was factual but highly biased, as i pointed out previously. and you still havent been able to explain it.
The Chipotle that opened up is a ghost town, so I don’t have high hopes for this one either.
Oh boy, 20 TVs and live music at the same time, with over priced boring food, filled with suburban 21 y o losers…..can’t wait.
So that’s what they’re putting in their food!
It would probably taste so much better if it were filled with 21-year-old URBAN losers, instead.
I’m intrigued by the expedition raw bar. Oyster safari?
This place is such a disappointment. After waiting 15 minutes to check in for our reservation, the hostess has haughty and rude. I have never seen a restaurant so disorganized. It won’t last 6 months.
Everyone was extremely nice! They actually had a wine I liked. That doesn’t happen very often. It is a down to earth, clean & lively bar/restaurant.
