A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

    The vegan brunch here is awesome!! I've been before but this time had a chance to try their new menu. 10 out of 10 would certainly recommend! The staff was great, very attentive and provided a detailed description of the food when it came to the table.

    The free range brick chicken with a slightly tart but sweet lemon sauce was a great choice for a cold rainy day. Served with a side of mashed potatos and steamed brocoli, it definitely met the need for a comforting meal. My server, Olive, was very attentive, ensuring that I capped my experience with a hot tea.

    Rashad’s service was amazing! He has a welcoming personality, knew the menu, and offered great suggestions. Through his recommendations we had the espresso martini, lobster, shrimp, crab stuffed tortellini, the garlic bread. Everything was amazing and we would love to the Valentine’s Day pasta on the full menu, it was all we could talk about that night. Thank you for a delicious experience!
