Looking to hit up the newest restaurant and retail additions to Adams Morgan? From a sports bar to a late-night halal restaurant, read on to see the newest spots to land in this Washington neighborhood.
Friendship Macaron
2434 18th St. NW
Friendship Macaron is a new dessert spot and cafe where the Phoenix Lounge once stood.
It combines French pastry traditions with Korean flair, resulting in house-special macarons in flavors like mango yogurt, cheddar cheese and green tea. In addition to the French cookies, expect tarts, cakes and other desserts, as well as a full coffee menu.
With a five-star Yelp rating out five reviews, Friendship Macaron has been getting positive attention.
Yelper Ariana K., who reviewed Friendship Macaron on Feb. 2, wrote, "Super-friendly service and great seating area with free WiFi. The coffee was decently priced and great as well."
Camsie M. noted, "So happy to see a cute bakery come to Adams Morgan rather than a bar. Super-inventive macarons in crazy flavors and designs. The decor is cute, and the space is bright and airy."
Friendship Macaron is open from 9 a.m.–9 p.m. daily.
The Game Sports Pub
2411 18th St. NW
The Game Sports Pub takes over where long-time sports bar Ventnor Sports Cafe left off last year.
The kitchen whips up a mix of American pub classics, like wings and chili, and international fare — especially Filipino dishes, like sisig and lumpia egg rolls. Beer, wine and cocktails encompass the drink menu, and you'll find TVs lined up from wall to wall.
Yelp users are excited about The Game Sports Pub, which currently holds five stars out of three reviews on the site.
Yelper Flo S., who reviewed The Game Sports Pub on Feb. 2, wrote, "The bartenders are awesome, and customer service is top notch. When coming here on Sunday, you'll get a good crowd watching the local sports teams."
Yelper D L. wrote, "Quick and friendly service, no wild crowds, and tasty drinks and food. I tried a few Filipino beers coupled with roast pork nachos and sisig. The beers complemented perfectly — would definitely recommend to go with the food."
The Game Sports Pub is open from 5 p.m.–2 a.m. on Monday-Thursday, 5 p.m.–3 a.m. on Friday, 1 p.m.–3 a.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m.–2 a.m. on Sunday.
DC Pizza & Kabob
2005 18th St. NW
Finally, DC Pizza & Kabob is a halal spot offering munchies to a late-night crowd. Look for huge slices of pre-made pizza, or get a full pie delivered to you. There are wings, poppers and fries, and of course Middle Eastern favorites like meaty kebabs, falafel and gyros.
DC Pizza & Kabob's current rating of 3.5 stars out of 14 reviews on Yelp indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.
Yelper Kc B., who reviewed DC Pizza & Kabob on Dec. 12, wrote, "I got a slice of pizza, and it was huge. In addition to a great portion size, it was also delicious. The crust was thin, soft, but had a snap of a crunch without being burnt."
Yelper Muhammad A. wrote, "The best pizza I've ever tried in DMV. Go for it if you're a pizza lover. Spicy boneless chicken kabob and lamb kabobs are the best. Owned and operated by a family."
DC Pizza & Kabob is open from 10:30 a.m.–5 a.m. daily.
