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.

    A dream for theater goers and vegetarians! Just a quick drive or walk from the Kennedy Center, this is the perfect place to eat before a show. Also not far from Georgetown and great shopping. All the vegetable dishes are outstanding. Definitely try the rockfish!

    A Truly Exceptional Dining Experience at The Palm I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Palm, and I must say, it was an experience I won't forget. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance was welcoming and elegant—perfectly balancing a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. The service was top-notch, with the staff being both attentive and knowledgeable. Our server guided us through the menu with expert recommendations, ensuring we had the best experience possible. The Palm has certainly mastered the art of fine dining, with every dish crafted to perfection. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a high-quality meal, this restaurant is sure to impress. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!
