Eebee’s Corner Bar opened in Shaw with more fanfare than you’d expect for a neighborhood watering hole. The burger was quickly named amongthe city’s best, and an early Washington Post review only accelerated the buzz. Where crowds follow, a game plan helps. Here’s how to navigate Eebee’s once you snag a seat.

Our favorite spots to grab the hot and gooey appetizer.

The mozzarella stick, that ’80s bar-snack favorite, is staging a comeback as today’s most popular appetizer. Here are six spots where you can get your nostalgic cheese pull on.

Like everything at this wildly popular nostalgia-fest of a bar, the martini offerings at Eebee’s are refreshingly straightforward—classic, 50-50, perfect, or dirty. An option to upgrade to Old Raj, a saffron-infused Scottish gin, is accompanied by a parenthetical “(yum)” on the menu. We agree.

A new neighborhood bar in Shaw has quickly become one of D.C.’s most-hyped restaurants. Are its burgers, mozzarella sticks and banana splits worth the wait? Food critic @e_zarwent to Eebee’s Corner Bar (@eebeescornerbar ) to find out.

There’s no question we hear more often: Where should I go eat? And while we at Resy know it’s an honor to be the friend who everyone asks for restaurant advice, we also know it’s a complicated task. That’s where the Resy Hit List comes in.

On a recent Friday night, people lined up in the snow to get into DC’s newest hotspot. They weren’t seeking out some trendy cuisine or buzzy chef. They were waiting for Eebee’s, which is, basically, just a neighborhood bar. Vintage beer signs and family photos give the Shaw corner joint a dive-y unpretentiousness.

★★★ (Outstanding)

My mind always wanders as I scan the paper menu at Eebee’s Corner Bar. With each of the 10 quintessential comfort foods on the list — a burger, onion rings, a Caesar salad — comes a flashback.

On a recent Friday night, around 150 people lined up around the block to get into DC’s newest hotspot. They weren’t seeking out some trendy cuisine or buzzy chef. They were waiting for Eebee’s, which is, basically, just a neighborhood bar.

What is the je ne sais quoi of a classic neighborhood joint? Fascinating décor? Succulent cuisine? Liberating libations? All are important.

However, what makes an establishment “classic” is an ambiance that wraps a patron up like a well-used blanket on a bitterly cold evening.

Yes, the peppery, dry-aged burger is as wonderful as everyone and their mother says it is. @eebeescornerbar in Shaw also excels at hospitality, a detail driven home by the owner, Emily Brown, in every interaction.

What beer did you love drinking over the past twelve months?

For a decade, that’s the question I’ve asked the people who make, buy, and curate my favorite beers.

I love when good planning meets great execution. This has been something on my mind for a while and @eebeescornerbarwas a great example for it. Shaw couldn’t be luckier.

Fresh destinations for icy martinis, frothy Guinness pours, karaoke, and more

The debut venture from the beer director behind Green Zone and the ever-expanding Andy’s Pizza empire, Eebee’s caters to off-shift industry workers with a kitchen that’s open until 2am. It's a bar first and foremost, but the food is no afterthought.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a bar get such a strong media push upon opening. Multiple articles, viral videos popping up on my Instagram feed and tweets about how this place rules. I’m usually a little skeptical of new places that are meant to capture an old vibe - there are plenty of older bars in DC that no doubt inspired this place that never get any love.

What’s the verdict, is this place as good as my algorithm is suggesting? Worth a visit now or wait until the hype dies down?
