A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

The cost is very reasonable for the quality of food. Besides the restaurant being absolutely gorgeous and the food delicious, the service is the standout for sure. They use your name when seating you and serving you. We went for brunch to celebrate my friends birthday and they provided us complimentary dessert with a candle and chocolate, it was so personal.

Neighborhood gem. Loved ambiance. Corner seating for two not in view of fireplace. Waitstaff not spot-on. After food presented, no spoon for soup appetizer. No check-in at our table by waiter. Had to flag to be attended. Irrespective of poor service, as we were non drinkers and low tab, left generous 25% tip. I will attempt a booking again in spring and choose outside seating.

Incredible! This hospitality team understands hospitality. The ambiance is perfect, intimate yet welcoming. The menu is curated to perfection. Every drink is so thoughtful, well balanced and delicious. The music- bangers after bangers that alone is a reason to visit, do a little shimmy while you dip your chicken karaage. Going back to service- everyone there knows how to make an experience and that’s what you get going there! My friend and I tried basically the whole menu- Smooth Operator and In a Cadillac were our top favorites but you can’t go wrong with anything there and I can’t wait to go back!
