The Bottom Line

the bottom line is a nice and very friendly place, drinks are on point and at a reasonable price. they have the best chicken wings and pork chops. dont let the outside fool you, just go one time and you will come back again, trust me !!!

Love the chicken and catfish, game time is best they are true Steelers supporters. Great drinks pretty strong so I only need 1.

Went there on a Saturday night to watch the Redskins vs. Philly game. Got there around 8:15pm and the crowd was a little older (maybe 45 – 60). The bar area was full and the second area near the DJ was empty. During the half time, the Dj started playing music and everyone started making their way over to the dance floor. There was only one bartender there on a Saturday night. Ordered a Long Island and it was amazing, after one I had a buzz and only spent $ 7.63. The only bad thing I can say about this place is that it’s a little outdated and the bathrooms had a odor every time someone opened the door. Kind of hard to focus on the game, when our table was right next to the bathroom.

This place is a prime example that you should never judge a book by it’s cover.
On the outside, it appears as divey as they come: it looks like it should be a store more than a bar/​lounge. But once you walk through the door, you become instantly immersed with an atmosphere of laughter, good music, great smelling food, and a realyl chill vibe that could make even an out-​of-​towner feel like a regular.
The place is definitely geared towards the ‘grown and sexy’ from what I could tell, but if you’re a young buck with an old soul (like myself, lol) then you’ll fit right in. The highlights of this particular location are the food, the AMAZINGLY talented karaōke participants (there were a couple of times where I would forget that these were ‘regular’ people singing live because it sounded so good) and the very hospitable and family vibe.
The bartenders are very easy going and heavy handed, and while the prices for a few things would absolutely differ from a venue in DC, it works for the environment you get along with it.
I would recommend having a birthday party here if you want a place to just relax, drink, eat, and associate like you did «back in the day». I’ll definitely be returning in the future, for a pitcher of beer and some of that bombbbb food!

Talk about a good time! Tasty food, heavy handed bartenders and great Saturday night entertainment! Two bands play every Saturday starting around 11:30 and put on a really good show, if you like gogo music (which I love!) The staff is very friendly too. Definitely not the fanciest place around, but a good spot to go to party with a more mature crowd. I did not think it was special enough to get dressed up for, but there were a mixture of casual and dressed up folks. Most people there seemed 25+…may have been some younger ones sprinkled throughout. Definitely have to be 21 to get in though since they card at the door.
There is a cover to get in after a certain time, not sure what that is though. My guess it is either $ 10 or $ 20 since there is live music. We got there around 9:30 and it had not started yet. Give it a try! I promise you will have fun! If you go to Wow Wingery, Marygolds, Takoma Station or Le’Fontaine Blue you will enjoy yourself at The Bottom Line Bar.

Talk about a pleasant surprise. First thing is first this is not a high class lounge/​bar. Go to dc if that is what you are looking for. I went with my Dad on Karaōke night and I was blown away at the talent of all the performers. This was not you ordinary karaōke crowd these folks could down right sing! The cook was hooking up the fried pork chops and chicken. Most of the people there were regulars/​local but everyone was friendly and the music, dj, and performers were all doing their thing.
