About Mr. Smith's of Georgetown
Mr. Smith's of Georgetown is a restaurant, bar, and piano lounge at 3205 K Street NW in Washington, DC's Georgetown neighborhood, just a short distance from the White House. Established in 1965, it has served nearly ten million guests over almost six decades. The menu features classic American comfort food, including burgers, chicken wings, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, steaks, pastas, and seafood entrees, prepared on a grill and served in a relaxed, casual setting. Mr. Smith's is also known for its weekend bottomless brunch, served Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3pm, and for cocktail specials and a 24/7 happy hour. The venue includes an outdoor streatery area, an antique Irish-style bar, and a large dining and event room, and it hosts live karaoke and piano bar sing-alongs on Friday and Saturday nights, continuing a tradition as a Georgetown piano bar since 1965. The restaurant also offers private event and catering services for groups. Mr. Smith's takes reservations and delivery orders through DoorDash and Uber Eats, in addition to dine-in and takeout. Hours of operation are Sunday and Monday 11:00am to 1:00am, Tuesday and Wednesday 11:30am to 11:00pm, and Thursday through Saturday 11:30am to 2:00am, with variation based on business volume. The business describes itself as one of the few remaining independently owned and operated establishments in Georgetown.
Mr. Smith's describes itself on its website as a proud 100% minority-owned business and one of the few remaining independently owned restaurants in Georgetown. Established in 1965, it has operated as the neighborhood's premier piano bar for nearly six decades, and the site notes that singer-songwriter Tori Amos got her start performing there as a teenager before going on to a recording career with multiple Grammy nominations. In 2014, Mr. Smith's moved to its current location across from Georgetown Waterfront Park, giving the restaurant views of the Potomac River by day and the illuminated Kennedy Center at night. The site also recounts a notable piece of history tied to the location: from 1985 to 1994, the site was reportedly used by CIA counterintelligence officer Aldrich Ames to exchange classified information for money before his arrest in 1994. Mr. Smith's says it has built its reputation over nearly 60 years on good food at reasonable prices, served in a casual, welcoming atmosphere with attentive, experienced staff.
