Best Cocktail Bars in Foggy Bottom

Our recent visit to Founding Farmers was exceptional, offering a delightful culinary journey that pleased the entire family. We began by sharing the Buttermilk Biscuits and a medley of autumn vegetables. The biscuits were impressively large, featuring a crunchy exterior that gave way to a soft, fluffy center—truly a perfect start to our meal. For the main courses: •Youngest Son: Opted for the Sirloin Chili, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chili boasted a balanced spiciness, making it both flavorful and approachable. •Mom: Chose the Goat Cheese Ravioli & Chicken Cutlet, a dish accompanied by butternut squash purée and pecan praline butter. The combination was exquisite, earning a solid 9.7/10 for its harmonious flavors and presentation.  •Dad: Selected the Farmhouse Platter, which included fried chicken, BBQ pork ribs, baby cheeseburgers, street corn, and coleslaw. He cleared his plate, a testament to the meal’s excellence.  •Teenager: Enjoyed the Meatloaf & Gravy, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. He expressed high praise for the dish, noting its rich flavor and satisfying portion.  Even the house-made sodas were delightful, adding a refreshing touch to our dining experience. Our waiter, Anthony, provided outstanding service, enhancing our meal with his attentive and friendly demeanor. The food was so impressive that we decided to purchase the restaurant’s cookbook to recreate some of the dishes at home. Founding Farmers offers a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delectable farm-to-table cuisine. It’s a dining experience we highly recommend and look forward to repeating.

This was an incredible experience. Thankfully, we made reservations a few weeks in advance. The bar itself is small, and we had to wait a bit for our table to be ready, but it was certainly worth the wait. We did the playlist experience which was very intentionally curated. The small bites paired wonderfully with each cocktail. Incredible vibes, and the staff was very personable and knowledgeable! We’re definitely looking forward to returning to try the next playlist curation!

Great experience! Food, drinks, service, and DJ were great. We will be returning.

The food was great and tastes fantastic. The service was excellent and the drinks were top notch

Zoe is #1. She is the reason I return to Nobu DC. I love seeing her and enjoying the conversation, the passionate stories, accepting her recommendations and just embracing her kindness. I’m very blessed and grateful for her friendship. Also I want to recognize Benjamin-he has a lot to offer the world. I hope that he continues to aspire for greatness beyond what the mind can imagine. God’s speed ahead. Thank you all for a great night.
