A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

    Ted’s Bulletin is a tradition for my family whenever we’re in town as we’re both foodies who live in Memphis. Ted’s is the one restaurant we consistently visit when in DC. The food and service are simply impeccable. It offers one of the best breakfasts you’ll ever enjoy, and the balance of the menu is equally amazing. We’ve eaten at multiple locations and can vouch for consistent quality across the board.

    This has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. Now it’s definitely at the top of my list. The location is perfect when staying at local hotels. The reservation system is easy to navigate and modify. The hostess was very nice and helpful. The service was impressive as the staff were welcoming, friendly, and provided top notch service. The food is great as we had the sweet and spicy cauliflower appetizer, delicious main dishes like the mushroom ravioli, super kale bowl, and tuna poke bowl. Nice selection of wine and beer. Then an amazing key lime pie to complete our evening. Thank you for an incredible evening.

    The hose was absolutely wonderful, he was running the entire show from the kitchen to the host stand. It was taking a while to take our order he noticed without it asking and got on it with his team. Didn’t catch a name but black guy with blind dreds. Will be back just for him!

    We decided at the last minute to go out for dinner and decided on a.kitchen+bar which we've been to many times before. It was a nice evening so we sat outside and we were there in time for Happy Hour too. We really enjoyed our meals and I was happy to be able to take my part of my grilled chicken home for another meal-there was so much and it was so delicious. And my husband ordered a delicious little gem caesar salad and a flatbread-he was able to finish all of his dinner but enjoyed it as well. The people who work at the restaurant are very nice as well. We are treated so special and sometimes they bring an unexpected dish from the menu for us as well. Brendan does a great job managing the restaurant also. We always enjoy talking to him as he makes sure to talk to the diners to make sure everyone is happy. I think everyone is happy who dines at a.kitchen+bar!
