Birreria Paradiso

Tucked into the basement of the Georgetown Pizzeria Paradiso, this bar is a beer lover’s dream. In addition to 16 regularly rotated drafts, it offers about 80 bottled beers from around the world. The well-organized beer menu is divided into categories—Belgian Trappist ales, Pilsners, India pale ales, English-style bitters—with descriptions of each beer’s origin and flavor. Knowledgeable bartenders are usually glad to give patrons a taste before they order. Tuesdays and Wednesdays 5 to 7, enjoy half-price drafts and good deals on the delicious pizzas from upstairs.
