ABOUT US

What is Granville Moore’s?
Simply, Granville Moore’s is “A Gastropub with a Healthy Belgian Fetish” 

Who is Dr. Granville Moore?
Dr.Granville Moore was a neighborhood Doctor who twice a week provided pro-bono work for the sick and ailing members of the community.  

What is a Gastropub?
A Gastropub tends to be genuine old pubs that have been overhauled, yet retain the character of a traditional English pub. The furnishings are simple, and the food is usually Modern European, with a dash of elegant personal touches. The prices, though moderate for the type of dishes being served, are higher than what you might expect for a typical pub. Moreover, you probably order at the bar, though the plates will be brought to your table, and like a pub, should you choose not to eat, you may drink without ordering food. 

Do you take reservations and what is the wait time like to seat?
Because of our limited space, we do not take reservations. Seating is on a first come first serve basis managed by our host. Waits vary throughout the week. You can always call 202.399.BLGM (2546) that evening and speak with our staff who will let you know the seating situation. If you live or are in the neighborhood, you can stop by and give your name and cell number to the host. They will then contact you to let you know when your table is ready. While waiting, feel free to enjoy some beverages at our bar or at our surrounding neighborhood establishments. From 7pm to 10pm is usually the busiest time so we suggest arriving between 5pm - 7pm for a better chance of dining without a wait. We encourage people to dine at the bar as well where we serve a full menu.

What types of Beer do you serve?
Granville Moore’s selection of Belgian ales rivals few bars in the Mid-Atlantic. We look to maintain a diverse list of eclectic beers. All the beers are personally chosen by our Beer-Buyer, Pat McMonagle, based on their individual merits and seasonality. We have over 40 true Belgian Beers by the bottle and 3 or 4 on draft at any given time. Our beer menu changes seasonally. Because of our importers inventory, our beers sometimes don't always make it to the good Doctor's. Please check our Chalkboards for the most up to date beer pertinent information!
