Granville Moore's Brickyard

Granville Moore's Brickyard Review

This Belgian beer hall with a gourmet soul is worth a visit despite its location in D.C.'s Atlas District, an area that can be seedy after dark. Snag a seat at the bar or at one of the first-come, first-served tables, and linger over unfiltered artisanal brews that range from Chimay to the obscure, lip-smacking Brasserie des Rocs. The food is terrific, specifically the pots of steamed mussels served with crunchy, twice-fried frîtes paired with homemade dipping sauces. The bison burger, warm apple-stuffed hush puppies, and wild boar patties are indulgent without crossing the line into predictable pub grub.
