• American • Dupont Circle

Booked 16 times today

A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

The food and service are always great. The highlight for us was probably the spiral cookie dessert with banana ice cream - not only delicious but a great presentation. My only suggestion would be to lower the music - it was a bit difficult to hear each other.

I’m a regular at Jaleo and have been enjoying the food there since they opened years ago. Food remains delish. And they’re always adding new dishes to the menu. Today I tried 4 selections I’ve never had before and they were all wonderful: tuna tartar with trout roe cone, fish soup, fried eggplant with honey and Andalusian cheesecake. Sooooooo good.
