“ If there's only one beer house you can go, it must be St.Arnold's !! Fourchette you need to try!!! ”

“ Mussel bar @ Washington DC We had an early dinner 5:30pm on Monday and the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is a Happy hour menu from Monday to Friday, 4 to 6pm. There are variety of mussels sauce to choose from. The spicy white wine mussels pots were quite spicy. The fries weren't too crispy, oven roasted chicken wings were ok. The beer battered onion rings were very crispy and good. The roasted beet with red onion, goat cheese on arugula were very tasty. Our server recommended batik Belgian pilsner and duvet Belgian blonde draft beers which went very well with our dishes. We enjoyed our dinner and the service was attentive! ”

“ Absolutely best place in town for mussels and frites. Traditional recipes like the St. Arnold's or Alsatian, then more creative interpretations if someone wants to try something new. I stuck to the originals, St Arnold's in the St Bernardus Trappist ale, and Alsatian with cream and leeks. Brought to the table in hot metal pots and a stack of frites and mayonnaise, it's particularly great on a cool night. The burgers are amazing as well, and large. The beer selection covers the bases with a great selection of Belgian and other European beers on tap and bottle. The only drawback is it can get quite loud when it's full, but well worth it. ”

“ Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy, so we got seated fast. My husband ordered their nachos which was basically chips with some cheese and other stuff on there. I enjoyed the sausage and pepper sandwich I ordered that came on ciabatta bread. My father in law ordered their sausage platter that came with sauerkraut and fries. They also had several German and Belgian beer options. ”

“ Delicious muscles and the best bar experience with Paul! He taught us all about Belgium beers and beer culture. Where has this been my whole life? I'm so into it! Now I've added going to Belgium to check out the brewers and breweries on my travel list. The bar is nestled in a cozy little area by the street and the vibe was so down to earth. Loved all of the decor and the stories behind every little thing on the wall. Service was phenomenal. Paul was a gracious host with such great energy from the second we wandered in. The digestif was the cherry on top of the whole experience! It settled our tummies from spending 3+ hours drinking all kinds of beer and liquor. ”

“ Lorraine was an excellent bartender/server that kept the fun vibe going all night- love her! The mussel pots were absolutely delicious and the dirty martini with blue cheese olives was amazing. This spot is a hidden gem - try it and you'll love it! ”

“ St. Arnold's Mussel Bar is one of my absolute favorite spots in DC. Their happy hour menu is a real treat, offering big pots of mussels for just $19.99, with the option to add fries for an extra $4. I recently tried their mussels with linguini, spinach, white wine, and lime sauce, and let me tell you, it was a flavor explosion! The mussels were cooked to perfection, and the sauce was so deliciously tangy and savory, The portion size was quite generous, and the addition of the fries made it a really satisfying meal. I, also, ordered their pretzel bites and calamari for appetizers and ended the delicious meal with a rich creme brûlée! The overall atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is great. Highly recommend! You absolutely have to check out St. Arnold's Mussel Bar--it's a real hidden gem in the DC neighborhood nearby DuPont Circle! ”

“ Bar specializing in a variety of different mussels that is tucked away down some stairs in what resembles a basement Large portions of solid food Not the best service or the friendliest servers I got the St. Arnold's mussels and they were pretty solid. They also came with some tasty fries and French bread to dip in the sauce Can add pasta and shrimp to your mussels for a small extra charge Also have a few non-mussel options for food Solid Belgian beer and cocktail selection ”

“ Food: 5/5 Service/cleanliness: 3/5 The whole menu is online via scanning a QR code. There's a variety of mussels but when we asked our server for recommendations/her thoughts, she wasn't very nice or helpful. She was a bit rude and just said all of the choices are good. All of the appetizers we ordered were good. The onion rings are probably the best I've ever had. It had a light batter and was crunchy. Same for the calamari. The plates were smelly - it smelled like it was wiped with a dirty kitchen rag. St. Arnold mussels & L'Alsacienne: The St. Arnold was better. It was creamier and had richer flavors. Both were overall good though so you can't go wrong with either choice. We added linguine and it was very filling. I didn't even have space for the bread/fries it came with. ”

“ On a cold late night, we weren't ready to head home but many bars were already closed. A friend suggested this place as it was a favorite for mussels and other seafood so we headed over. I can only rate this place based on the beer selection, but absolutely loved our visit. This place is off Dupont Circle, kind of half way in the basement. It's dark and cozy, with lots of art and items around the Belgian beer world. We took seats at the bar - the bartender was immediately welcoming and friendly with us. Their draft and bottled list is long, mostly focusing on Belgian breweries or Belgian beer styles. I opted for their house beer - a Belgian dubbel which was rich and delicious, the perfect beer to slowly sip on a cold night while talking with a friend. This is a great spot for Belgian beer and seafood if you're in the area. ”
