Concierge.com's insider take:
The number of expats crowding D.C.'s embassies and nonprofits has created a cottage industry of restaurants offering them a taste of home. For Brits, that means Commonwealth, a gastropub in the newly gentrified Columbia Heights neighborhood opened by Jamie Leeds of Hank's Oyster Bar fame. It trades in cross-Pond recipes made with local ingredients and humanely raised meats, so you can feel (kind of) good about tucking into that deep-fried bacon appetizer, the beer-battered fish 'n' chips, or the Cumberland bangers and mash. Commonwealth serves up more than 25 British beers in addition to drafts from the former colonies (that is, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania)—perfect for watching a football match at the bar (soccer to you Yanks). Or settle into a leather booth for a hearty Sunday supper served family-style. One warning: The polished concrete floors, open floor plan, and beer-swilling patrons can make for quite a din during prime dinner hours.
Open Mondays through Thursdays 12 to 4 pm and 5 to 10 pm, Fridays 12 to 4 pm and 5 to 11 pm, Saturdays 11 am to 4 pm and 5 to 11 pm, and Sundays 11 am to 4 pm and 5 to 10 pm.
