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.

Teddy & the BB never disappoints! From the menu that changes slightly each quarter to the stations that I didn’t even get to visit this time. Make sure you’re ready if you do bottomless food and Mimosas for Sunday brunch, as you will not see the bottom of your flute! Not a complaint, but as I was driving I had to sip slowly. I’ve dined at Teddy & the BB numerous times for numerous occasions. It’s a family favorite for celebrations. And I’ve left with food intoxication & slightly inebriated from the bottomless brunch practices they employ. Thank you for always delivering!
