Established in 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill is Washington’s oldest saloon. Located steps from the White House, this classic American grill has served everyone from presidents to protesters. The mahogany-paneled interior and brass fixtures create an atmosphere of old Washington elegance. Their raw bar is legendary — featuring oysters sourced from both coasts, with happy hour specials that make them surprisingly affordable.
