Established in 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill is a historic bar and restaurant that is located only steps away from The White House. Featuring a menu of classic American recipes, this long-running establishment prides itself on using locally sourced produce and natural ingredients.

Creative dishes like the Roasted Cauliflower Steak and the Pork Jägerschnitzel set this Victorian-style saloon apart from the crowd, and classic favorites like the Veal Chop and the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake are prepared to perfection. The wine and whiskey lists are extensive, assuring a great dinner pairing for even the most selective of guests. The bar menu also features an array of specialty cocktails such as the Autumn Rickey — a tasty and powerful mixture of Larceny Kentucky bourbon, Vermont maple syrup, lime juice, and club soda.

Old Ebbitt Grill is a delicious place for a meal, regardless of time of day. Breakfast is offered on weekdays, featuring a plethora of All-American morning staples from omelets to waffles. Brunch is available on the weekends, combining all the best breakfast options with a long list of burgers, sandwiches, and salads.
