Keith McNally brings Minetta Tavern to Washington DC

MINETTA TAVERN ORIGINALLY OPENED IN 1937
Named after the Minetta Brook — which ran southwest from 23rd Street to the Hudson River — the Tavern was frequented by various layabouts and hangers-on including Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, E. E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould, as well as by various writers, poets, and pugilists.

Since its renovation, Minetta Tavern has best been described as "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern."

We hope — and believe — that's a somewhat accurate description of the place.

Immediately entering this establishment you know it’s going to be a good time. Very lively atmosphere and lovely vibe. Service was great from the hostess to our waiter. I highly recommend asking your server their thoughts on the menu and what to order. We ate everything and were extremely pleased with our experience. I will definitely be heading back soon.
