Firstly, Denis is super amazing and should be for the keeps. He is attentive, informative, patient and professional. He payed attention to my partner and I. He also suggested other fun places we could visit during our vacation to Washington DC. He made us feel like home. Anytime Denis is here, we will re-visit Rewind over and over again. Food was great too!

I went with a group of friends for my Birthday celebration this past August (I’m late lol)… Everything was wonderful! The food was delicious, the severs were amazing, and very friendly . The man in charge, Mr. Dennis, hooked us all the way up!! Made me feel special on my Birthday and I appreciate that!!
REALLY tasty. I've been craving a BLT for awhile, but I don't eat pork, and I stumbled across this place--which offered turkey bacon as an alternative! It's been hard to find a place that just offers it as a swap--I've only found a few, like maybe two other places, that offer turkey bacon as a swap--and their sandwiches look a lot sadder and they ask for an unreasonable upcharge... SO the fact that Rewind is out there letting a simple swap and keeping the price reasonable completely hooked me! This was their BLTA, so had avocado. I asked for regular mayo (and on the side if possible) instead of spicy mayo because I knew I would want tomato soup, and I have GERD so tomato soup+spicy anything will give me heartburn. They gave me the regular mayo--Win! Not on the side but not a huge deal, if I was that uncomfortable I'd just have asked for no mayo. I wasn't even sure if they'd do regular mayo so I was really happy. For the automatic side, I chose the caesar salad. Then got the tomato soup separately The side caesar salad was fantastic! Simple but filling and tasty! 10/10. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants do a teeny little side salad when salads are largely comprised of lettuce.... and you get like a cup of lettuce with two croutons haha. It's one of the cheapest things to make and so many places skimp, but Rewind actually gives you a side salad, not a few sad forkfuls, but a side that actually makes it feel like you're having a rounded out meal with your entree. The BLTA was thick and hearty and the turkey bacon tastes just like regular bacon! I do wish there were thicker, hefy tomato slices in it. The tomato soup, which is $8, was very good. They use cream and basil. UberEats was doing a special which more or less covered the soup. The only thing I wish they did differently is offer the tomato soup as a side with the sandwich. I understand the soup is made in-house and uses cream so I'd pay a little extra for it... Only then, I wouldn't be able to decide if I want the caesar or the soup as my side! I'd stressed about the bill without the special, but with the special and what they offer, definitely reasonable. I look forward to enjoying their food here again with any specials, if not today it will be soon!
A cross between a diner and a sports bar. Simple furniture and tv screens everywhere showing football, baseball and hockey. Great service from the manger who ran the bar, took orders by memory and served drinks at the bar. Great diner food at reasonable prices. Well worth a visit if you’re hungry or looking for a watering hole and snacks to watch the game.
Staff was welcoming and helpful in giving food choices. We loved the music and energy. Definitely a vibe. Liz and Edgar were great.
Went here for dinner, got a couple beers, apps, entrees and milkshakes. It was a cute place but a little musty feeling. Sat by the window and watched people drunkenly not get let into the club nextdoor haha. The waitress was really sweet and all the people who worked there were kind. Probably a good spot for a drink and an app, not dinner vibes with family. The fried pickles were good, and my in laws liked their spiked milkshakes.
Good nightlife spot in DuPont Circle ⭕. Several floors with different music genre on each floor next door at Decades. The speakeasy provides good space for private parties. In general plays mainstream music and is popular with the younger crowds.
