The Hamilton, Washington, District of Columbia, American Restaurant Details

Food:

We come here every time we have a trip to DC. They have the best sushi in the DC area. Their flavors are unique in each roll and they don't pour on the sauces on their sushi. The sushi is rolled really well so the inside doesn't fall out Most of the time the sushi is beautifully presented. The service here has been outstanding each time we have eaten in the bar area. The wait staff has been really friendly, welcoming and helpful. We haven't been to any other part the restaurant since their sushi happy hour is so awesome. Half off all sushi from 3-6pm every day! Oh and they have free WiFi, just ask the hostess for the password.

Food:

The pastrami was amazing, the sushi was spot on, and the service was great.

Only thing I have to say is the mac and cheese needs some shredded cheese on top before the fried onions. That way you get a little stringy cheese with the great sauce. The mac and cheese is good but with a few tweeks, it could be great.

Food:

The Hamilton is a relatively new music venue in the DC music scene, opening late in 2011. It has quickly become a great venue for a large variety of music, with some emphasis on New Orleans based or influenced artists. Unlike some of the music venues in and around the district, The Hamilton provides a complete elegant night life experience. Metro access makes getting there simple for residents of the district and inner suburbs. Inside, the furnishings are comfortable and clean. The staff is attentive, and they serve a variety of beer and GREAT FOOD.

A music venue is more than just a place, it's also the clientele. And at The Hamilton, it seems like the people going there really go to see the music. There is not a dull roar of conversation while the bands are playing.

It's also nice that the tickets are still relatively affordable, even for some national acts. It's a small venue - about 300 seats - so there aren't really bad seats. If you get stuck with standing room tickets at a sold out show, get there early and there are a few tables near the upstairs bar with a great view.

Food:

Did you know there is a venture down stairs? If you didn't, I'm lying and you can stop reading here.

Now that there gone, that venue is so cool. Food isn't GREAT, but everyone tries and it is genuinely worthwhile to buy a ticket, enjoy the entertainment and stay for a drink.

Food:

Mixed drinks were good (and reasonably priced for this part of town). And the Hamilton Burger was amazing. A little messy to be eating for nightlife, but one of the finest burgers I've had outside a steakhouse, and again reasonably priced for the area.

Food:

This "massive" late-night eatery/performance venue (from the Clyde's folks), in a "prime" spot near the White House, will "blow you away" with its "high-ceilinged hunting lodge" look featuring stately, "active" bars and private booths, plus its downstairs live-music area; the "something-for-everyone" American menu leaves diners "with enough money to pay the mortgage" – and though some call the service "indifferent", glass-half-full fans see it as "still getting the hang of it."
