Black Squirrel is surprisingly low-key given its location on the Adams Morgan strip. The cozy spot has more than 70 varieties on its interesting beer list, including 11 drafts plus bottles from Belgium, Germany, Lithuania, Russia, and elsewhere. The chef/owner used to work at Marcel’s before opening Black Squirrel last year, and the food here includes typical pub fare plus fancier options such as mussels and filet mignon. There are specials every night, including half-price burgers on Thursday.
