About this restaurant

Great for brunch
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

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.

We went to Easter brunch today. It was a pleasant experience. The food was great and the service even better. Good prime rib, salmon, and sides. There was a wait for lamb chops. Karen, our server, was very attentive and accommodating. We enjoyed the crab, avaocdo salad for starters and dessert was very good. Definitely recommend a visit.

While in DC recently for a family trip, this was one of our restaurant reservations. It was hands down my favorite place that we ate at. Our server was excellent (I wish I remembered his name). I got the ribeye and it was amazing. I wish I had taken a picture before I devoured it! The Havana margarita was awesome, and the sorbet was delicious also. Next time I am in DC, I am sure to return here!

We had a dinner reservation and this is my POV. The place is nice inside but the lighting is too bright~ no music so a weird silence~ and as of 4/04/2025 NO DESSERT MENU at least that’s what our server said. The menu is basic~ food was good and that was it, sadly.

Had a fantastic time at their Sunday Brunch. Our server Randall was a lot of fun and made the occasion very memorable. We enjoyed the food and bottomless mimosas… Randall did a nice job keeping them full and making sure we got our money’s worth 🤣. The food was great and so was the atmosphere. We look forward to our next outing to Reddy and The Billy Bar. Did I mention we loved Randall? 😃
