    This place is legit. I wanted a traditional English style breakfast like I had while traveling in the UK a couple years ago. This place was the first result and I’m glad I stuck on that. That breakfast was exactly was I wanted and there was even an Arsenal game on to indulge in the atmosphere. Additional bonus for them having HP / Brown sauce. I’ll be headed back here soon. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

    I’ve eaten many a donuts in my life…and these donuts might’ve been some of the best in my life. Not an exaggeration. All the food was great in general, but I will have dirty dreams of those cinnamon sugar dough boys.

    Typical British gastro pub- with a tavern like ambiance. We visited in the weekend and it was quite packed. British breakfast fare was pretty huge in size, and quite greasy. I couldn’t finish. On the other hand, the fish and chips was excellent. Huge crispy fried fish was right on spot, although fries/ chips were mediocre.

    What an incredible experience! I'm a lifelong Liverpool fan and was in DC for the weekend and wanted to check it out. I thought it was too good to be true, I was wrong. The food was excellent, traditional English pub fare! Service was incredible, they were clearly busy but we were taken care of all morning. The owner himself chipped in to help and warmly greeted just about every guest in the place. When the whole bar sang "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the end I had my Field of Dreams moment where I said to my brother who was with me "Is this Heaven?" And he correctly said "No, this is life at the Queen Vic!"

    Are you a Liverpool fan? Do you like good service even when the bar is packed? Want awesome drinks and atmosphere? This is your place. If you are coming to watch a Liverpool game make sure to get there early.

    This is a great spot if you're looking for some classic British grub. It has the vibe of a proper tavern. They also host special UK-centric events like Burns Night or fan meetings for football matches. I went on a Friday evening after work and made a reservation in advance, but that wasn't necessary as the place wasn't full. Definitely book in advance if you're going for some kind of special event tho.

    Great place to watch Liverpool 0-0 Man U, was absolutely packed. Had a Sunday Roast which for $25 was excellent value for money.

    Visited this pub during a trip to D.C. and it was legit. I had the fish and chips and it came with mushy peas, something you don't find often as a side with this dish in most U.S. restaurants but is apparently a staple with the dish in the UK. They had a nice selection of drinks too. I didn't have to wait for a seat and it was easy to Uber to and from the place. I wouldn't mind going back if I am ever in the area.

    Food and drinks were excellent. Friend's food was so salty it was inedible. My food was *fantastic*. The pudding and the donuts were delightful, definitely get. The pudding was probably one of the best things I've ever tasted. The Mac n cheese gnocchi was so salty it was inedible. The potato, cheese, and sauerkraut perogies were OUT OF THIS WORLD. Pro tip: get a side of fries to dip in the leftover gravy. You'll want it. It's outstanding. The brussel sprouts were decent. Nothing to write home about. Didn't really go with the rest of the order, which was *my* fault, but they still were only decent.

    THE place in DC to watch Liverpool games. Lovely atmosphere. Packed during a big game. Excellent service, considering the crowd. I couldn't order food, but whatever they were serving smelled nice!

    Really great place. The food was amazing and so was their beer, the atmosphere is like no other bar in my opinion. Went to watch LIV-MUN in a United jersey and it was packed with Liverpool fans. Had fun with the jokes they had, all fun 🙏

    A proper British pub-- most authentic I've experienced in DC (get here early if you are watching football). The food is WAY better than it has any business being at a place that has total tavern vibes. Any of the indian curries, the Sunday roast, the chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie, all wonderful!

    Fun English style pub. A decent selection of ales and lagers on tap. A bit pricey. I was there with my boys to watch a Liverpool game mid-day. The atmosphere was lively and the Reds pulled it out at the last moment... so good all around.

    Fun British style pub with great food. The fries were crispy and delicious.

    Yet again a pleasure to watch football (yes soccer...) at The Queen Vic, where any Liverpool supporter feels at home. Watched the Semi-Final between France and Marocco here. Had really good beer and I reccommend the Vegan curry dish, it was big but very tasty and came with lovely nan bread. We happend to get some free Kronenberg merch from the rep who was there that day, pretty awesome.

    Party of 12, no problem! The Queen Vic had us make reservations on their website for our evening dining. We had the best time at The Queen Vic. Upstairs dining for our group was perfect. Our group had chicken pot pie (photo)-fish n chips-speckled hen (daily special)-Brie cheese board (daily special)-and more. Everything came out hot and delicious. Would highly recommend this place to dine and have drinks. Next time in DC area, we will definitely return.

    Was in D.C. for a few days, and found this little gem after a Google search for best fish and chips. Did not disappoint, the fish and chips was outstanding! Sticky toffee pudding was great, too. Fallon, the bartender as well as our server, was so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to visit next time I'm back in the area. Extra bonus for being a LFC pub!

    We always get brought here by family when visiting DC...and we wouldn't have it any other way. Always yummy! Excellent food and drink.

    We tried the Queen Vic for Mother’s day and were surprised at how AMAZING it was. This little hole in the wall british pub was just spectacular. It had something for everybody, vegans and vegetarians. Also, the drinks were amazing as well. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. And the seating was nicely spaced out. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to go back again and try more of the dishes.

    Amazing joint. Small but incredibly lively. Had the perogies (5/5). Chicken and French Toast (5/5). Sunday Roast (5/5). Bangers and Mash (5/5). Drinks were cold. Packed full, looked like they could have used a couple more staff, but the owner was hustling and bustling. Would eat here again 100%

    I attended a baby shower here. The chef is to die for. They have a lovely mix of foods to fit most dietary needs. This is definitely a good place to get a bit adventurous with your food choices. Upstairs is available for special events and downstairs caters to the international football community. Well worth stopping in.

    A literal hole-in-the-wall dark heavy wood pub. A long bar and a couple of tables. The service was spectacular with friendly and attentive staff. Sadly, the food didn't quite live up to that. The poutine with pork belly comes in appetizer or entree size. The fries were thick fresh cut. The pork belly was tender and scrumptious. The cheese curds were a delicious compliment. Sadly, I found the gravy a disappointment. It tasted as though someone diluted a demiglaze concentrate. It lacked the complexity and richness of a beef gravy made from slow roasting. It was one note and not a compliment to the other ingredients. Fish & Chips. I order this everywhere. An English pub, I saw it and didn't even keep reading. What came was an absolute unit of beautifully fried white fish. On a bed of fresh cut chips. On the side, mushy peas and tarter sauce. This time, the fries/chips were a touch under cooked but well seasoned. The fish was an ideal doneness- tender, flaky, and moist. I use malted vinegar for the fish. The breading came off easily but I think that's the nature of frying wet items. I use tarter sauce for my fries/chips. I didn't care for this one. Mustard is a pretty standard ingredient in tarter sauce. This one used a whole grain mustard. I found it overwhelming bitter and so mustard-y that I couldn't eat it. Sadly I couldn't get that bitterness out of my mouth afterward. I would give this place another try but I left much less wow'd than expected from other reviews. Side Note: I didn't order an alcoholic drink but the table next to me had many pints of Guinness. They seemed pleased and the pints had nice but not excessive heads.

    Good for watching LFC matches. Staff were amazingly attentive and fast, the service was top notch!! I’ve never been served that fast in a busy pub

  • 5/5 Lauren M. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    Absolutely phenomenal!! Amazing service. I recommend getting a reservation if you want to sit downstairs but other than that plenty of room just not on match days. Food portions are massive so I suggest splitting. Had the pork schnitzel and chicken tiki masala. Bartender is very knowledgeable and even with few sweet drinks made something for my taste.
