We Love Sundays
Brunch at Birch & Barley
11 to 8 p.m. Every Week

Brunch is good, brunch is great. It's surely a meal you shan't waste. That is how we think around here at least, in fact, we've elevated the core Sunday meal into a satiating affair available for nine hours every weekend. Chef Kyle Bailey's restorative, yet cleanly executed cooking matched up with an inventive Bloody or one of our many fine ales available on Sundays - well, it's bound to set the day right.
Reservations available by calling 202.567.2576
