World Pub

The best sports bar in DC. They have great events going every night and the staff from the doormen (Jabbar and Roscoe, the most welcoming front staff I’ve found) to the bar personnel are very personable and make you feel included. Highly recommend coming here for a neighborhood hang out or any sporting event

Was in town for a scientist convention for some nerd shit. Stumbled across this place. Really enjoyed bartender with curly hair and big smile. She gave good recommendations for nerd shit, even if she pretended not to like nerd shit

My favorite and best ever bartender Kris !!!! Go see her and will never regret !! Also food is so delicious and adore to play pool over there , on Thursdays they have free pool night ! The place is so spacious and lots of bathrooms ! ❤️❤️💫

Jabbar does a great job. Roscoe is my guy. I love this bar. One of the best bars in the area and the people are the best

Franklin Hall is one of DCs best sports bars. The staff are wonderful, they have great pub food, a deep beer selection, plenty of TVs, and fun events. I would highly recommend stopping by to watch a game or attend one of their trivia nights. They also have pool tables!

Great spot to watch a game. Huge beer hall with a lot of tables, bar seating, and TVs. Respectable bar food and draft beer options. They will open early on Sundays for international football matches.

Live dancing doodles hosted here ever other Sunday night! However, THEY NEED TO SERVE WATER!!!! They make you buy bottled water… really annoying. But, they do let you bring in your own water bottle and the caliber of dancing here is top tier! Such a fun place for salsa and bachata!

I went to the salsa bachata social, and it was great! It was a bit warm, so I grabbed a water (way overpriced, though!), but other than that, I'd totally recommend it and go back if I could.

This was the starting location of the Pacer's Black History Month Run/Walk. Apparently they did some special things to serve us so don't know how the next person's experience will be. The things include these pancakes and mimosas where they are traditionally a bar and don't have brunch options normally. A participant ordered the old bay wings and raved about them. Since it was a meeting place, didn't get to experience fully. Did see they have pool tables, connect four and other table games.

Franklin hall has quite an ambiance that is both inviting and captivating. The libations are of superb quality, making it a top destination for those who appreciate a well-crafted drink. However, what sets this place apart are the complimentary pool tables that add an extra element of entertainment to the overall experience. It is a must-visit destination for those seeking a lively atmosphere and an enjoyable evening out.

place is huge! love the atmosphere when watching arsenal with dcarmoury. food and drinks are good!

First time going here for my friends birthday party and it was decent. You need to have a either a negative Covid-19 test within the past 72 hours or been vaccinated to enter. It’s a huge hall / sports bar from my perspective. I think my friends enjoyed their drinks more than the food. They said the nachos were cold, chicken sausage was dry and the burger was basic. Basically they said don’t come here to eat a good meal. It’s a place you mainly drink. You have been warned. They do have water available for no drinking folks like myself as well. I liked the bar decor personally because it was Christmas festive and tasteful. Overall, it’s an okay spot to hangout with friends.

Not a bad beer selection. Food ok but not great. Was there for a trivia tournament and my group and I were made to go through very crowded room before being able to sit in tournament area. Also, I think I was overcharged and am looking into it.

The service and drinks were good but the weird app I downloaded—Vemospay—to pay my tab charged me 25$ plus my actual tab. Super sketchy!!! I understand you can pay at the bar but I’m disappointed an establishment is recommending this app to people to begin with.

I’ve never felt the need to write a bad review until now. This is my first Google review. It was my Birthday and the bartender lady was extremely rude and aggressive and was clearly also under the influence. Over charged me for my order and forced me to tip by literally taking my credit card even though she cussed at me and said terrible things . Worst interaction with a bartender ever! Do not go here or at least do not order from her!! They’ll probably reply to this post by saying they take customer feedback seriously. But I’ve seen other customers complain about the same thing on Google reviews in the past. This has been a consistent problem with their service for a while clearly. So they won’t take this feedback seriously!! Don’t go here!!

I’ve never experienced such poor customer service at a bar. One of the managers, Chris, was incredibly rude — she wouldn’t make eye contact, ignored me completely, and forced me to communicate through the bartender even though she was standing just a few feet away. We politely asked to have one TV switched to a different game. The bar was nearly empty and most screens were showing the same uninteresting match. Despite how simple the request was, Chris refused to help or even acknowledge it. Her attitude was dismissive and completely unprofessional. My group of four was ready to spend money and hang out, but we ended up leaving because of how disrespectful Chris was. Terrible customer service — won’t be coming back. It’s not hard to be nice.

Why call yourself a sports bar if you won’t play the volume of a sport game? For reference, the UNC - Duke game (the biggest rivalry in college basketball) was playing at 6:30 pm on tonight (Saturday). We were told “not to be cheeky but, its a Saturday night” in response to asking to turn on the game volume. Everyone in this SPORTS BAR is here to watch the game - that doesnt make sense. Bad business practice if you ask me. Dont come here if you want to actually watch a game!

Come to Franklin Hall if you want to be cussed out by drunk bartenders. We will not be back as long as Chris is employed at this place. Her behavior is astonishing and unacceptable.

This has to be the worst interaction I’ve ever had with a bartender. The lady’s name was “Christin B.” She had an attitude with us the whole time. We tipped her 15% and when we asked for a printed receipt, and she rolled her eyes and said “wow that’s shitty” - we ordered a pitcher and 2 beers. She shouldn’t be working here.
