DC Craft Brews & Grill

Between Daniel and the chilli — I was too happy to care about a long layover or being soaking wet from the lane. I look forward to layovers in DC now!

Sat at bar. Bartender saw me, walked right past, and didn’t come back for at least ten minutes. That’s when I left.
No greeting, no I’ll be right back.

Okay. Just okay, it’s airport food … Our service was quick enough … We were mostly just glad to be able to get some food that wasn’t candy after our flight were the only options with out tree nuts — I have an allergy — were m&m s and chips

Hello there. I was just at this establishment. I had ordered a drink and was planning on ordering some food. About five minutes after I was sitting at the bar a very rude man approached me; his name was Todd and he was apparently the manager, and told me I had to take my sunglasses off (they’re prescription and extremely light) because I was having an alcoholic beverage.
I am appalled at the services received from the employees as well as Todd; the manager. I can not see at all without my perscriptuon glasses on and the reason they are slightly tinted with a rose color is because my eyes are extremely sensitive to indoor light. Airports have the worst lighting for my eyes. It literally hurts without my glasses.
Mr Todd had no right what so ever to tell me weather I can or can not wear my perscripion glasses. Nor does any person as this is America. I can wear glasses if I need to. Specially if they’re perscripion. I am outraged. The owners of this establishment should rethink they’re choice of employees. Discraseful

This was kind of a free comedy show with one decent beer and pretty gross food. First of all, LOL for calling yourself DC Craft Brews. Seriously, there are four beers on tap, one of them is Coors Light, and only one of them is a local beer from DC. That IPA from DC was pretty good, but you are NOT a craft brew joint.
Next was the stunning service we received. I mean, nobody was rude, but we walked in and sat at a table beside the two working servers who were rolling plastic eating utensils into napkins– yeah, did I mention that you eat with plastic utensils? We seriously sat right next to them for five minutes while they carried on a conversation before they even acknowledged us.
For food, I ordered a chicken quesadilla and my partner got a cup of chili. I’m pretty sure the chili was canned Hormel chili or something, and my quesadilla was shredded Mexican cheese melted with sautéed chicken into a tortilla with store-​bought salsa, sour cream, and guac on the side. Meh.
Finally, our waiter was hilarious but not really be any design of his own. He was really reminiscent of Chris Farley living in a van down by the river. Like, this guy was doing the MOST to do the least. He was really sloppy and disheveled and would shout at the patrons in the restaurant to see if they needed anything rather than walking over to their table. As the beer took effect, this actually became pretty hilarious to watch. If you needed something from this dude, no big deal. You just shouted at him from across the restaurant and he came over, but he certainly didn’t walk over to you to check unprompted.
Overall, this is a tourist trap and was way overpriced. It’s not a craft beer joint, and the food is on par with fast food. They also close at 7:30, which seemed pretty early for a Saturday night in an airport with late flights. Don’t be drawn in by the aesthetic created from their Edison light bulb fixtures, they spent all their cash on the décor.
