Better Know a District… Standard Bar and BBQ
This ‘Better Know a District’ review brought to you by the lovely Alla! Last weekend, Alla and I enjoyed beer, BBQ, blue skies, our boys, and a baby (mine) at Standard in NW DC. It was such a great time, and I’d encourage anybody looking for great BBQ in the District to head over there (especially when the weather is nice!) Read Alla’s take on Standard, and be sure to follow her!
Let Me Talk To You About: Standard Bar and BBQ in Logan Circle, DC
This weekend some friends and I checked out the newly-opened Standard BBQ on 14th st NW. It got good reviews on Prince of Petworth and a few of the other legit DC blogs - so we figured it was likely going to be legit.
And was it ever.
Brisket for daaayyyssss, hush puppies, great beer, seasoned fries, slaw dogs, and fried pickles. I’m no food writer, so I probably can’t describe in adequate words the awesomeness of the food - but here’s a pro/con chart for Standard.
Pros:
- delicious food
- outdoor seating patio
- close to the metro
- great beer
- open until 2am
Cons:
- first come-first serve seating (and very looooong waits for tables)
- they were OUT OF PULLED PORK. How do you run out of pulled pork? This is a bbq place?!?
- they were also our of Bells beer on tap. hmph
- vaguely mediocre service
- hipsters, hipsters everywhere
- almost no seating indoors, and not enough seats outdoors
- doesn’t open until noon
