“Bully is a Spanish steakhouse with its feet planted on American ground. It brings the soul of Spain — the fire, the bold flavors, the generosity of the table — and merges it with the energy and pace of dining in America. The cooking is confident, the hospitality is warm, and the room always feels alive. It’s a place built for sharing, gathering, and eating with intention. That’s Bully: Spanish soul, shaped in America.”
Check out the menu here.
From a press release:
“Bully Spanish Steakhouse is now open inside the St. Gregory Hotel, introducing a neighborhood-driven Spanish steakhouse rooted in fire-forward cooking, generous hospitality, and a distinctly Washington, D.C. point of view.

Live-fire grilling anchors the menu, with beef, pork, and seafood cooked simply and confidently, complemented by classic Spanish dishes such as patatas bravas, jamón and Manchego, fideuà, branzino, and picanha. Desserts like Basque cheesecake, flan, and churros round out an experience designed for sharing, repeat visits, and relaxed indulgence. (more…)
