Steps from the White House, Old Ebbitt Grill blends political history and classic American fare in an atmosphere that’s equal parts nostalgia and energy.
Washington’s oldest saloon with a Victorian interior. Old Ebbitt’s was founded in 1856, just steps from The White House and museums in downtown Washington. It was a favorite of Presidents Grant, Cleveland, Harding and Theodore Roosevelt. Today, the grill is a popular meeting spot for political insiders, journalists, celebrities and theater goers. As a result, the atmosphere is convivial, relaxed, and perfect for a pre-dinner cocktail.
