Highlights

  • The menu offers a wide variety of handcrafted beers and specialty cocktails.
  • There are eight different types of bipartisan burgers featuring unique ingredients such as truffle cheese, prosciutto, fried jalapenos, and pico de gallo; the clever description for the "Balanced Budget" burger states that they couldn't agree on the contents, and asks customers to build their own.

Good to Know

  • The restaurant’s Happy Hour – Monday through Friday from 4:30-7:00 pm – features $8 burger and drink specials.
  • The staff is happy to offer menu items from The Caucus Room’s menu at the bar.
  • The restaurant is closed on Sundays.

Full Overview

D.C. power dining has long been a meat-and-potatoes affair, with the Caucus Room being a top spot to chew on big issues as well as sirloin. Now, that archetype gets a relaxed spin with the introduction of Social Reform Kitchen and Bar.  The front of the restaurant now known as Social Reform Kitchen and Bar features dark wood paneling, soft lighting – provided, in part, by chandeliers that showcase foxes (yes, the animal) that are carved in wood – and warm buttery tones throughout. The more casual menu dishes up several hamburgers including The Lobbyist, made with caramelized onions and truffle cheese, The Laissez-Faire, made with apple-smoked bacon, homemade BBQ sauce and Tillamook cheddar, and The Blue Dog, made with bacon, blue cheese and mushrooms. There are several salads, small plates, sandwiches and, of course steak – beef tenderloin or hangar steak – served with one of the restaurant’s signature sauces. Throw in cocktails like The Plantation – Hendricks gin, basil and grapefruit juice – and you’ll find that even a more relaxed power menu still has some serious oomph.
