I work less than a block away from the Irish Channel and had been there only once before COVID. When we had tickets to see a hockey game at Capital One Arena and were looking for a place to eat, I suggested Irish Channel. I'm so glad I did because it was wonderful! We were greeted warmly and even though we were just two people we were given a large open table right by the door. Service was excellent and our server was very sweet and helpful. It was happy hour so I got an "Irish" mule. It was refreshing and delicious. My husband also got a mule but immediately spilled it. No worries, they cleaned it up and swiftly brought him another. For dinner, I got the Irish nachos, which was a bowl of layered deliciousness, starting with diced potatoes, ground beef, and cheese. Oh yum, very flavorful and lucious! My husband got the Spice Bag, a paper bag filled with potatoes, chicken, onions, and spice. It was a lot so I helped him finish it. We also got a happy hour mozzarella sticks. I got a second mule and for a reasonable price, we had a wonderful meal. Irish Channel is definitely going into my favorites!

Irish channel is a mainstay in the District. There are happy hour events and various themed parties throughout the year. It is worth connecting to the social media to keep in touch with things.The menu includes salads and sandwiches. The prices are reasonable.

Good food. Good variety of draft beers. Perfect Irish pub. Good place to watch sports.

We decided we wanted something from one of the Irish Pubs we saw around Washington, DC. I really wanted a Smithwick's draft and everything else would be a bonus. We decided Irish Channel was the closest and had decent reviews so we stopped in and ordered a couple of beers and a Reuben sandwich. Overall, it was a decent sandwich, not bad but nothing to write home about. The service was okay, but it felt like we were a burden until it came time for our check, then it was cheerful and helpful. If you're staying in the attached hotel, it would be a good option for a quick meal and a beer. If you want something similar to what you had when you visited Ireland, keep looking. It's an Irish Pub in name only. For a neighborhood bar it's great I would be here at least once a week if I lived in the area. But adding one Guinness option, Smithwick's and a couple of dishes does not make it what I thought it would be, which is on me and that's okay.

This spot nails the cozy pub atmosphere with a side of mouthwatering goodness. The place feels like a second home, and the food? Pure comfort. I got the nachos and the hot wings -- both of which were delicious! I'll definitely be frequenting this place again.

We came to watch the first Jets game of the season, and we loved the energy of all the fans at the bar! The place was packed and people were having a good time (well, at least for the first few minutes of the game)! We were able to snag a table and order some beers, tenders, and mozz sticks. The food is your regular bar food. The beers were nice and cold! We had a fun time hanging with the fans. We were bummed about the start of the game and the outlook of the Jets season but we hope to come back for another watch night.
