St. Arnold's Mussel Bar in Washington, D.C.

St. Arnold's Mussel Bar offers craft Belgium beer, and they are good. My friend and I stopped there last night just to find a place to get a drink. This place has a very low key and friendly vibe. Because it is tucked away at the corner of a small residential street in dupont circle, it doesn't get a lot of attention from the normal shops with big store fronts. The bartender/waiter was extremely nice and attentive to all of our requests, and that attitude really made us feel like at home.





I guess there wasn't a lot of people inside the bar when it is 12 o'clock at night on a Wednesday. Most people were locals and were sitting at the bar. There are a couple of TVs playing sports, but people were not paying much attention to them.



We tried their spicy white wine mussels just because I want to compare to the white wine mussels I had from mussel bar the other day. It turns out they are equally as delicious. The addition of the spice just adds some extra kick to the flavor of the mussel. I would definitely return to this place again, or visit their sister store in cleveland park.
