We were visiting DC, and friends back home recommended the Brickskeller bar. They said very popular for the BEER!! When trying to find location in Dupont Circle area--couldn't find it. Met up with Husband's friend and he mentioned going to Bier Baron that he thinks was called the Brickskeller----sure enough it was!!!! Like we were told and much of the... More

To all the people writing those horrible reveiws, there is good news: the Brickskeller is closing within the week. To those who saw it as a DC icon, well you better hurry before it's gone. As someone who works in DC, I have spent many a night here; yes the food is less than desired (the wings were always good);... More

Probably the worst service ever. Several minutes to be greeted. Dirty tablecloth. Waited for at least 10 min. for drink orders. Waited an additional 10 before we were approached so that we could order food. Told it would be 30-60 minutes due to the kitchen being short staffed. We sat with empty glasses so often it became a game to... More

I used to go here regularly when I lived near DC, but the last several times have been more and more disappointing. They have a really impressive list of bottled beers, but at any given time they probably only have about half of them available, which can make ordering difficult. The food is also not bad, but they often are... More

Went in this bar, it is dirty but we were so hungry and thirsty...waited over 15 min and never saw a single waitress and the place was not busy.....so we walked out. More

My main question is, why do people go here? Did the false advertising of 1,000 different beers available and terrible service lure you in? A group of 8 of us beer-lovers went here based on recommendations from many friends and the Washington Post’s own Going out Gurus. At the Brickskeller, customer service gets thrown out the window. Any beer we... More

It is a "dive," but my husband loved it. After an afternoon of working (he was traveling on business, and I tagged along), he needed to just relax, and this was the perfect place. We were able to sit in the front room and try beer after beer, enjoying the jukebox music, and people-watch as the bar filled up. We... More

The Brickskeller is a beer bar with an unbelievable selection of beer. They claim over 1,000 different beers and it is true. The menu goes on and on for many pages of small print. There are surely beers you will have trouble finding anywhere else. Contrary to other comments here I find the beer to be served at the appropriate... More

Brickskeller is some place everyone should probably go at least once. It "has" a great beer selection on paper, but you and your fellow drinkers should bet (money or drinks) on what drinks on the menu they will actually have in stock. A waitress once told me they have not updated the menu in years. Decent food that you would... More
