Closing for a new concept from the same owners/cooks from the existing space. They'll still have the stupendous beer list, and I'm assuming another thoughtful menu.

Wow this place is amazingly good! We had six people in our party and everyone was extremely happy with their meal. Our waiter was also amazing and followed up frequently. The beer tap list is top notch! They had beers I just can’t find elsewhere. Wine list was also well thought out. The decor/ambiance is very good as well. Caesar salad and the risotto was amazing and people liked the catfish, steak frits, meatball pomodoro, deviled eggs. I would have liked a bit more vegan options or healthier options but I’ll come back and try whatever they have soon. We have to come back!

We’d been to Birch and Barley years ago (pre-Covid) and it had been a lively, fun restaurant with good food, a great beer list, and nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, it’s now quite dark, there were only 2 other tables filled, and while the food was good and the beer list still long, it was just pretty sad. Too bad.

Great evening here on a friend’s recommendation. The craft cocktails were yummy. My bucatini/shrimp entree was delicious. My partner’s bolognese equally great. Capped the meal off with hazelnut gelato…just perfect! The vibe was very low key…but fun! I think we’ll go back next time we’re in DC.

The service was impecable. Both servers worked in tandem, so there was never a time when attention wasn’t given, yet they weren’t on top of us the whole time. The food was outstanding! It was my second time here and I look forward to returning and bring more friends next time.

Had not been in a while, so certainly noticed the completely revamped interior, quite handsome. The waitstaff is thoroughly professional. Dishes are well prepared and very reminiscent of menus of the past. The one thing that hasn’t changed is the phenomenal lineup of beers, my group’s objective in going there in the first place. The option of small pours is the best way to go if you intend to make a dent in sampling this list.
