Fodor's Expert Review Smith

Great for people-watching and very Capitol Hill, Smith is a large, dark space with portraits of ex-presidents and taxidermied birds all over the walls, plus a mixture of booth seating and large communal tables. A bit outside the Pike–Pine heart, and filled to brimming with tattooed hipsters on weekends, this is a super-friendly and inviting space with a solid food menu (including a top-notch burger and sweet-potato fries) and a full bar. Beer selection is small but good, and the cocktail list is decent.
