Although this is a bar blog and website, some of you may know that I originally set out to document and visit the DC metro area’s best restaurants. To that end, I’ve compiled and regularly updated a now-massive spreadsheet that contains nearly 500 restaurants around the DMV. I’ve shared this with my address book the past several years; a few folks suggested that I create a blog and Barred in DC was eventually born. The Top 100 and Cheap Eats columns refer to the latest Washingtonian magazine publications, while the others refer to Tom Sietsma’s Fall 2014 guide, restaurants I’ve frequented, places I like the best (“Mony’s Picks”), and where I would go next. Tips and suggestions are always welcome. Hope you might find this useful. Cheers!
