What Gloria Smith doesn't like about The Tombs:
It is the perfect old time dive bar/restaurant. The weight staff is great, the food is good. The food is just normal food that you don’t have to work too hard figure out what’s in it. Lots of college students. Lots of parents and grandparents. It really is a place where everyone is welcome, if you can’t have fun at the tombs, you just don’t know how to have fun View all feedback. What User likes about The Tombs:
If you venture down a narrow staircase in Georgetown, right by the university, you'll find yourself among gravestones. Although this place is certainly a college bar... View all feedback.

I love coming here. It's a gem and hole in the wall. The personnel is super friendly and the kitchen does a hell of a job! Great work! Thank you Tombs Team!

I can only talk to the wings, burgers, and cold draft beer. All are great. The walk to the pub up historic N Street is half the fun.

Get the Nachos! Best I’ve had and the downstairs atmosphere is perfect for a hot day or a cold night. Also great staff, caught them on a slow afternoon.
