Beacon Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Washington

I stayed at the Beacon Hotel and dined in their restaurant twice. The first time was for happy hour where I was thoroughly unimpressed. My first two drinks were free as a result of receiving complimentary drink coupons as a perk from the hotel, but I was still thoroughly, thoroughly unimpressed. I had a champagne specialty cocktail that was disgusting and the bartender was hard to track down. He either wasn't behind the bar or was playing on his cell phone( I've included a photo). We had the wings and quesadillas, Neither of which were good. They drink specials were decent though and it was nice to get three dollar beer and lemon drop shots, and the specialty mule cocktail was pretty good but didn’t make up for the poor service and nasty food. After that experience I had a bad taste in my mouth but the Sunday brunch managed to make up for that horrible visit. I booked an 11:00 reservation on Open Table and was seated immediately when I arrived. The buffet was beautiful and bountiful. Everything was delicious. I was so happy with the wide array of options from classic breakfast foods to salads and desserts to lunch items and Caribbean flavor dishes. The options were endless. I particularly enjoyed the omelette station even though the chef there gave me someone else’s omelette and told me I was mistaken when I informed him of this. The other person came to claim their omelette, so thankfully he realized that I knew I was talking about. He also gave another woman a hard time saying she didn’t ask for a certain item in her omelette when I was standing there and heard her ask for it. Our server Tom was fantastic! He brought our Mamosa’s immediately and refilled them frequently, remembering to check on us and clear our empty plates as well. We both loved the decor and atmosphere of the dining room as well. This is a great place for an amazing Sunday brunch or to celebrate a special occasion or treat friends from out of town. I highly recommend the brunch but wouldn’t do the...

Beacon Bar & Grill has quickly become my go-to spot for an unforgettable brunch experience in the city. The brunch here is simply AMAZING, with an extensive buffet that truly has everything you could crave. From mini waffles and crispy bacon to fresh salads and a mouthwatering ravioli dish, every bite is a treat.

One of the highlights of their Sunday brunch is the unlimited mimosas—when they say unlimited, they mean it! Their refill game is strong, keeping the good vibes flowing throughout your meal. Even if you’re not drinking, the food alone is worth the visit, though I was surprised to find out that the $59 price tag includes tax and gratuity, regardless of whether you indulge in the mimosas.

The ambiance at Beacon is warm and inviting, with plenty of windows and open space that make it perfect for larger groups or celebrations. It's an ideal spot for birthdays or just to be seen, thanks to its prime location on the first floor of the Beacon Hotel.

The buffet offers a solid variety, including fruit stations, dessert stations, plantains, grits, eggs, and more, ensuring there’s something for everyone. While I enjoyed my time here, I think a DJ could really elevate the brunch to a full-blown day party vibe—they certainly have the space for it!

All in all, Beacon Bar & Grill is a fantastic choice for a lively and delicious brunch in the heart of the city. Whether you're sipping on mimosas or enjoying their savory dishes, you're in for a great time.

After an energizing brunch, I love to wind down with some quality weed from Pullupdeliveries. Their Super Lemon Haze strain is my go-to for a relaxing afternoon, perfect for unwinding after a...

It was six (6) of us whom visited the Beacon Bar & Grill for Father's Day. First, they sat us in a room that had no a/c; had three (3) fans that we used to put in our windows years ago! We arrived at 1:00 for our reservations. The majority of the food stations where EMPTY. Available food was all FRIED, greasy and appeared old. It was smoky from the omelet station. For the price that they charge there was nothing there without breading. There was no shrimp, so salmon, NOTHING baked all FRIED. Everything was FRIED; why....majority of clientele?, well I left FRIED a long time ago and was yes, expecting something I could stomach. That turned out to be the waffles that I asked to stop cooking when they became the perfect tan.....otherwise they where like waffle chips. Mac & Cheese was boiled and sprayed with cheese, ALL the food was horrible - aside from my designated waffles. Even the bacon was broken and burnt. Regarding all day mimosas........had to beg for refills until it was almost time to go and I suppose the waiter saw our plates piling up and figured we could only hold another glass and a half. All our guests where very unhappy with the meal, presentation and décor of place and get this....it was free for them. We will not be going back or making no...
