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.

Julian was a wonderful server. The food was great. We ordered a “pitcher of sangria” and expected red wine- no they brought champagne and it was the most expensive on the menu $72!!! Not worth it at all. It wasn’t even muddled fruit. It was champagne over ice and fresh orange slices. That was a huge disappointment. BUT- the bacalao was scrumptious and the rest was quite tasty.

1000/10 Recommend My boyfriend and I were visiting D.C for his birthday trip. We both wanted to try paella and we were not disappointed. Everything from the drinks to the tapas to paella was incredible. We went on a Saturday, it was lively and the perfect date night spot. There was even live music with a dancer. The service was impeccable I never needed to think “where’s my waiter i need something?” Best service i’ve received at any restaurant ever. This place is at the top of my list when i’m back in D.C!
