The Tombs has been round for decades and I think this was how long it's been since I have been here! Primarily a student hangout for Georgetown, it is still great pub food. had the crab dip with toasted garlic bread and salmon nicoise salad, both great. would highly recommend for casual dining in Georgetown

One of the best meals/brunch fare we have had in DC. Our daughter lives in Georgetown and we visit frequently, always trying new spots. This is going on our must list.

First time there and we really enjoyed it. Food was excellent (highly recommend the brisket sandwich!); service was attentive without being intrusive. Wonderful atmosphere.
