“Start early, finish late … ” Welcome to Policy Restaurant and Lounge.

Our idea for Policy is to be the first and final stop of the evening.

One of DC’s hottest Restaurant and Lounges, award-winning Policy is located in the vibrant U Street neighborhood.  With an upscale “diner motif” including the main floor’s “Love Dining Room”, and the airy second floor’s “Liberty Lounge”, this space extends the sentiment of being free and savvy.   Decorated with brilliant chandeliers and art work by Andrew funk and Drew Nussbaum, Policy offers two levels of charm and class in a hip and inviting environment.

We have created an environment for our guest which manifests into an unforgettable experience.     Start off the evening with some drinks at Happy Hour, followed by a delicious dinner. Spend the rest of the night with friends in the upstairs lounge, complete with music and a full bar.

The restaurant provides an intimate feel not only for couples, but also for a group of people catching up.  We’ve taken Global Flavors and infused them with American cuisine putting a unique spin on our dishes.   Our brilliant culinary staff provides the most innovative, seasonal menu possible.  They develop menus that will evoke emotions and stimulate your taste buds as you eat, providing a unique experience unlike any other in Washington DC.

In addition to food, our beverage program has been well crafted to cater to everyone’s needs.  We have a large selection of craft cocktails, an extensive wine list and a diverse selection of beers from domestic old favorites to local craft breweries.

For a truly unique experience, come join us at Policy Restaurant and Lounge.
