Tune Inn in Washington DC

I wish the beer battered hamburger held up to its hype. Cheese logs were good.

I always Love coming here, I Love the owner n their's a Male table sever (my apologies I don't know his name but I Love his character n mannerisms n the food is great n prices reasonable plus the intimate obeisance is a nice change 2 go n unwind.

The food was very good for a small bar in DC. Beer was a bit pricey compared to other DC places we visited. Cool, eclectic decor with good service. Enjoyed our meal and worth the walk

Excellent food and decor. The calamari were very fresh and tasty. Tee shirts are $22.

Came in here for a beer and relaxation and got nothing but poor service and a bad attitude from the start. Was also served a WARM beer. I will no longer be returning to this place. Poor customer service and poor drinks / warm beers

We had the Beer Battered Burger which was okay, wings were okay, but the real star was the Mozzarella Sticks with that Marinara Sauce! I would come back for those Mozzarella sticks everyday!

Classic old time tavern downtown DC. Great atmosphere, food, and drinks. Always a good place to take a break from the hustle and bustle.

Use to live around the block and have been going for years. Love it, it is all the best aspects of a dive bar. Its small, not fancy but the staff is great, the food and drinks are good and very reasonably priced. I'm surprised someone else said the beer was more expensive than most other places in DC. That is absolutely false, most other bars in DC or the hill charge more for drinks. The place has sass, I don't normally like taxidermy but for the Tune inn, it works.

We had an hour for some lunch, happened upon this little bar. Bar was full, tables empty. We wanted to sit outside, nice day! Burgers were enormous and tasty. Chicken fingers were pretty good too...and we were able to get tater tots!! Had the Philly cheese steak sandwich...not great (non melted American sliced cheese) and the beef slices were heat lamp burnt. Tasted good though 😋. Overall, we'd go back and we were able to make our flight!

This is such a nice place to eat! Great menu variety, people are friendly. I ate the softshell crab sandwich- yummy!! Prices are super reasonable for DC, 6 of us ate lunch for under $100.

Found this place near our Air BnB late night upon arrival. This is not “fine” dining, it is Bar Food at its roots! Had a great meal, beer and cocktails that were all delicious. The service was wonderful! For my party, the atmosphere was wonderful! Quirky, homey and totally neighborly! We repeated our visit the next night and it was great! If you’re in the area, and are comfortable with an old fashioned neighborhood bar where you are welcomed as a friend, I highly recommend this place!

Although it was definitely a pub atmosphere we were quite comfortable their with our kids! We all enjoyed our dinner after a long day of site seeing and we had a very nice waitress! We will return on our next visit!

Closed despite website saying its open

This place is awesome. The music. The food. The people . Amazing atmosphere. My new spot.

Tune Inn is your perfect dive bar. Like with any dive bar, you come here for the greasy food and great beer, not for the service or for any sophistication whatsoever. I ordered the beer battered hamburger and my friend ordered the pastrami. They were both extremely greasy but tasty. I would come back again for Happy Hour and to try out their beer selection.

A real authentic family run (third generation) bar with great ruben sandwhiches, and late night hours. The real thing in WDC

The food itself deserves 4 stars. But the service deserves less than that. Warning: not their fault but beware that the fried pickles are long cut pickles. Not the standard pickle chips. You will not get this from the description in their menu. If you’re just looking for a bar or a place to drink this place is fully functional for your alcoholic purposes. Aside from their draft beers I did not try and mixed drinks myself. As far as the service goes... When we went in we ordered two beers, waters, and fried pickles off the bat. The waitress brought us our beers and never brought the waters. Later we ordered a soup and salad. The soup and friend pickles came out at the same time approximately 20 minutes after ordering. However the soup brought out was chicken noodle soup instead of the chili we had requested. This took about 10 more minutes to correct. The salad never came either. The chili was bomb.

Nice comfortable atmosphere, I liked seeing all of the hunting trophies on the wall. It gives the place a historical and outdoorsy feel.

Good, basic, well priced food. You know how there's cheap diner food that makes your stomach hurt even though it tastes good? This is NOT that, thank goodness. The ingredients are good, and the cooking is done such that food is hearty and filling without being a grease bomb. A great place to grab lunch for under $10

Great spot and a ol scholl DC bar.

Great food and service. A very relaxing experience. No rush and nice atmosphere.

Cozy little dive with decent breakfast at a decent price.

Ordered fried egg whites after asking if it possible. Got fried eggs with yolks. Steak wasn't seasoned at all.

An institution on Capitol Hill. Breakfast all day. Home cooked comfort food.

Nice bar. Great prices on the food. Service was on point and very relaxed. Food was normal bar food. Nothing crazy special here, but if your like dive bars, this is a spot to check out.

This is one of my favorites! There's a reason why Tune Inn has been around for so long The crowd is almost always friendly, servers take the time to learn your name, and drink specials are fantastic, especially for the area. It's a great place to grab a burger or split a couple pitchers of beer with friends. It's also a short walk to the folgers Shakespeare library and is always my first choice for either dinner before or drinks after a show!

Brought family since we found it on DDD's. Probably wouldn't suggest it if you have kids. It's a bar first, restaurant second. Waitress was kind enough, but not really sure what Guy F saw in this place. Maybe it was better 10 years ago when the show was filmed. Gets 3 stars cause of pricing. Best prices in the city for the amount of food you get. Nothing special about anything on the menu.

Good for animal heads on the wall. Low key and comfortable. Food ain't bad. Service friendly. Booths are good for kids.

Cheap and food is pretty good. Great atmosphere. Not the most friendly staff but they weren’t rude. Good spot for lunch right by the Capitol

Soft, fluffy waffles and the best pastrami sandwich I've had in a long time. Eat here when in DC!

The neighborhood bar for everyone on the hill. Friendly and amazing staff serve good drink and food. If you live in Southeast DC you know the Tune Inn. If you're visiting DC, the breakfast and lunch are awesome to fill you for the day before hitting the monuments and museums.

Wait staff could be happerier. Food was fine. Wish I could have sat at the bar - that is a classic bar. Great stuff on the walls too

This place is hands down best place we ate during our stay in DC. And cheapest too! Hope the owner doesnt raise the price now that I wrote that. It's a little hole in the wall with delicious food. Strong drinks too! The mozzarella sticks are 3x the size of normal, mac&cheese triangle, sloppy Joe's, fried burger, and fries were fantastic! The biscuits and gravy were good but the sausage is not ground sausage as it should. And corned beef hash is very good but tastes like a cheese steak, which was fine by me

So me and my boyfriend came from manassas va cause we wanted to find a new spot to try that we have seen on triple d’s. We saw the episode of when Guy came over this place and thought to give it a shot especially cause it was a reasonable driving distance. Basically it’s a little hole in the wall bar, they played decent music and the service was good but we will definitely not be coming back because the food was not good and I could’ve had better around my way. My bf order the West Virginia sandwich and I was drenched in old tasting grease it was so gross definitely didn’t finish it and I had the catfish po boy which tasted decent but was falling apart so bad I couldn’t finish or enjoy. So disappointed cause any other place I’ve been to from triple d’s I’ve always liked the food but this one is definitely NOT worth it.

This is a historic dive bar/pub for a reason. Opens early and closes late. Definitely casual attire. You will come here for the greasy diner food if nothing else. They have a stellar breakfast spread. I had the creamed chipped beef on toast with an egg over easy. Also highly recommended is the patty melt. Interior is authentic kitschy. The place is family owned, run for 3 or 4 generations now. If you’re near the capitol and are looking for a tasty bite, some reasonably priced drinks in an authentic bar...you found it.

Service was perfect! We had crab cake and pulled pork sandwiches, which were both amazing. Super flavorful and tender. Choice of craft beers were also delicious. The atmosphere was nice inside so definitely a recommend if you’re in Washington!!

Tune Inn is a good restaurant with both vegetarian and non vegetarian options. Drinks are served in the bar. The service was prompt. We went there for vegetarian breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. Few of their regular customers were also friendly to us.

As far as neighborhood dive bars go this is the prototype. Tune Inn has a great vibe, but don't expect dive prices.

Stopped in for a quick bite service was okay as we watched our waitress on her phone instead of filling our glasses, but the food was good. Overall I would stop in again sometime but will not race back there because of service.

The best fried pickles, happy hour 4 to 7 and yes scrapple! Deep fried burger is enough to share. Great bar service.

This place was fantastic! The food was great, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food is reasonably priced and doesnt take too long to get out to you. The staff seem to be on a first name basis with the regulars, and knew that I hadn't been there before. I will definitely go there again.

Came in while visiting d.c. for the first time and was very pleased with the food and service. James is an excellent bartender! The conversation with him, other staff and the restaurant's patrons was excellent!

Place was okay. Good value but waited for at least 15 mins for four plates with no other patrons. Features on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives it was a bit of a disappointment.

So glad I stumbled across this place! I have been here two days in a row for lunch now! Working in DC Government this place has a great family, friendly, small town, neighborhood bar with great food type Atmosphere in the middle of one of the busiest areas in DC. Develop a great place to get away for a moment and just relax!! Definitely my new DC spot!!!

The Tune Inn, which originally opened in 1947, is absolutely one of the best bars in D.C. If you're on Capitol Hill, take time to drop into 'The Tune'!

Awesome place, a lot of history. Staff couldn't be better.

We had a blast EXCEPT--it's pretty obvious it is a local favorite hangout, such that as non-regulars our group was not appreciated. Even the cranky old bartenders were disgruntled-openly. We were a party of careerists working within 8 blocks, but the $300 business not appreciated. Maybe someone will go for a breakfast, but not happy hours.

Food was good and reasonably priced. Great old-time atmosphere.

I had chicken tenders. They looked great, but they were very dry. Edible, but not impressive.Hubby had beer battered burger. VERY dry. He could not finish the sandwich.Son (12) had a cheese omelette. When asked how it was, his response was "it's an omelette."Daughter (10) had Joe's West Virginia. She gobbled it up, so it must've been pretty good. Good service, good atmosphere. Just not sure I'd return for the food.

Always a hometown favourite since 1981. You go to Tune and accept being in the neighbourhood for burgers and drinks
