Reviews for Private Dinner at Historical Tavern: The Fountain Inn

Attentive service, great atmosphere and the spirit pairing with tasting was well done with a good description of the history behind each spirit. Would come back again

Luke was an exceptionally gracious and educational host. We all learned something about whiskey making, Georgetown history, and just how much we loved good bourbon. And the beef cheeks were great!

The Fountain Inn hosted a birthday party for ~30 people upstairs. The staff was responsive, attentive, helpful, perfect. We opted for appetizers rather than entrees, all the food was delicious. They helped curate a custom food and drink menu for the event. This is an intimate gem of a bar. Five stars.

The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the food was delicious and the staff welcoming and attentive. We were a large group and felt so welcome and comfortable that we did not realize that we spent three hours eating and drinking.

I feel like the Fountain Inn might be known more for its cocktails, but the food menu makes it one of the best (and currently underrated) spots to eat in D.C. I’ve visited a few times in the past several months and every time the menu has been new and exciting. Every dish is creative, elevated, perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. It has easily become one of my favorite spots in D.C. The drinks are also exceptional, and the cozy, intimate vibe makes it perfect for a special night or a low key evening. The service is top-notch — everyone was so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. Truly a standout place that keeps getting better.
