Mellow Mushroom
Categories:

Neighborhood: Adams Morgan
Rating this place as a bar at the moment, will update if i do have some pizza there but quick thought: Mellow Mushroom is the first "Hst Bar" to come to AdMo. Hopefully that makes sense, but to try to elaborate, it's trying a lot harder to fit to it's theme and be kind of weird and kind of hip, what with all it's giant floating olde timey weight lifting guy and all.
That being said I don't think it's necessarily a good or bad thing but Admo bars have a pretty specific, less wacky if you will, feel to them and if mellow mushroom is the first contagion of the future Hstreetization of 18th st we will be diminished. Not to say that AdMo doesn't have it's problems but those same problems are all part of it's drunken/crowded/giantpizzaslice/catcall charm.
Still this is the introduction of strong beer to AdMo and that is progress, but don't lose yourself 18th st.

I've been planning on going here for quite a while and haven't really gotten around to it until this week but I got the steak sandwich which came with lots of chopped carne asada, a ton of guac and some green beans which stood out as being different.
That being said, it was delicious and well priced and the staff was super nice. I'm excited to try their crazy hot dogs too.

They occasionally have ayinger which is one of my favorite breweries but really if you're gonna call your place the science club, it needs to be way more science-y. Like drinks should come in beakers and larger drinks should come in graduated cylinders and erlenmeyer flasks.

3.5 stars rounding up. Just went by to get some wings to watch some great playoff football and though they were out, my game food dreams were kept alive with a hefty order of nachos. The problem is that the chips themselves sort of sucked yet the beef was also superior to most.
Still, chips being a foundational element of nachoes, having such poor ones is damning and that is how we arrive at 3.5 stars.

I have a real love for shady korean bars and make no mistake, this is one of them. It's awesomely a normal restaurant storefront with no real decoration to speak of but had all the things you need to sit around and get shwasted while having some mackerel, seafood pancakes and popcorn.
Oh and to have lots of beer and soju because that's really the whole point.

It's weird because you'd think a place with this great of a beer selection would be awesome but it's just impossible to make a chain bar, especially one as big as this place, to feel personal or intimate in a way that makes bars feel right. Still if you have a big group it's not a bad place to go provided you can get a table.
We were the only group there at 2:30 so they kicked us out. If you say your business closes at 4am you need to stick to that otherwise we would have went somewhere else to begin with. Not my problem you couldn't pack the place... We even had to rush eating the food we ordered there...

I guess I wish they had something other than pastrami but really it's probably some of the best pastrami I've had outside of NYC, in fact nothing else in the bay area really comes to mind that can compete with the refuge there.
The beer selection is pretty great as well with a pretty comprehensive list of rotating belgian beers. Great concept for a business with great execution. It's hard to make anything seem cool in San Carlos but the Refuge is as close as it gets.

This place get's at least four stars for being an izakaya in burlingame and being open way later than anything else around. I do think the atmosphere is a little too nice for how I like my izakayas but you can't knock the staff's hustle. They are clearly trying their absolute hardest to make sure you have a great time and are taken care of and that's something that's easy to appreciate. Are the food/prices at Izakaya Mai better? Yes but that's one of the best japanese restaurants around so when that's you're only competition that's some tough luck.
