Washington Restaurant Guide

Formerly The Oxford Tavern, Zoo Bar Cafe is located across from the National Zoo in northwest Washington, D.C. Voted "Best Burgers" and "2nd Best Live Blues and Jazz" in DC, Zoo Bar, as the locals most commonly know it, offers daily made to order fresh dishes sure to please even the most discriminate palate. A one of a kind neighborhood favorite, Zoo Bar has slowly metamorphosed into a serious place for music, food, and fun. Its appealing sidewalk eating area is perfect for a lazy summer day of watching tourists and locals come and go from the National Zoo, or walk and jog on the avenue. Great burgers and soups will more than satisfy your lunchtime cravings; while at dinnertime, daily entrees, a wide variety of desserts, and a cognac to complete the evening will close out the night in style. Whether its date night or you're on your own, the staff is courteous and attentive, the prices reasonable, the conversation affable and the music will rock you.
