Nestled in Bloomingdale, this vintage pub serves up hearty bar fare and 64 whiskeys in a cozy, exposed-brick atmosphere that’s always buzzing.
"Bloomingdale’s beloved neighborhood pub and whiskey bar is co-owned by Ireland native Gareth Croke. Saint Paddy’s Day specials available this month include Schaller & Weber’s Irish banger sausages served with creamy mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, and Guinness mushroom and caramelized onion gravy. Its catch-all menu carves out room for year-round Irish favorites like fish and chips and corned beef hash." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
"Boundary Stone will open at 11 a.m. for brunch on the holiday with chef David Bacot’s homemade cinnamon rolls, PBELT (crispy pork belly, fried egg, romaine lettuce, pickled green tomato, cilantro mayo), fried chicken and French toast, and more, with bottomless brunch cocktails for $23. Reservations are available via Resy." - Vinciane Ngomsi

"Chef David Bacot’s Memorial Day menu include housemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing; PBELT with crispy pork belly, fried egg, romaine lettuce, pickled green tomato, cilantro mayo; and a trio of Boundary Bennies (honey hot chicken, honey hot seitan, and sausage Benedicts). Wash it down with this bottomless brunch cocktail special: $23 for endless Aperol spritz, bloody mary, and mimosas with the purchase of any brunch sandwich or entree (limit two hours)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Bloomingdale’s reliable neighborhood tavern showcases fish and chips from chef David Bacot, who led the kitchen at Potomac’s Lock 72 Kitchen & Bar by Robert Wiedmaier before the pandemic hit. At Boundary Stone, Alaskan cod battered in Busch Light joins lemon, malt vinegar, fries and homemade tartar sauce." - Tierney Plumb
