Sean the Manager was so kind made sure to check in on us. We had an amazing first experience at Stan’s. The Drinks were strong but still delicious (The Cirroc Obama was so good), and the food was amazing! Jack Jack was an amazing server and made us feel right at home. The wings are absolutely crucial and Red Velvet Cake was the perfect finish. Thanks for a great Dinner and experience. Stopped in for dinner while on a business trip. Fun basement spot with a lively atmosphere. There was a Commander’s game on so they were pretty busy. I had the Chicken Alfredo and an Old Fashioned. Both were tasty and hit the spot after a long day. I certainly would go back and when I do I will have to try the chicken wings! 😊 Made it back for wings. Nice a crispy!! This place has great happy hour times and specials. It's on the lower level so it's dark in the bar area but the tables/eating areas are well lit. Service is friendly but busy. They are all very approachable still. They are known for their wings. I got the fried version but I think their baked ones are better. Their mozzarella sticks are good too. Their portions are generous and easily shareable. We love going here when we're in the area

I have been twice now and I wish I knew sooner about this place. The service is always great, the food is amazing and the drinks are STRONG! Every time I go to DC I will always stop here now. Tequila and pineapple with pineapple on the side. You only need 1. Wings are delicious

Whewww, let me tell y’all, going to Stan’s after brunch was a mistake… but also the best idea ever 😂. Stans is famous for their four-ounce pours, and they do not play about it. I swear they don’t skimp on a single drop. I ordered a tequila-based drink (can’t even remember what exactly because I was already brunch-drunk lol), but it came out strong. Like, whole-cup-of-tequila strong. You’ll feel it quick, so honestly, make Stan’s your first stop if you’re trying to pregame or have a litt night. We also ordered food and everything hit: • Whole Fried Chicken Wings with Mambo sauce – 10/10. That was my first time trying Mambo sauce (I’m from the South, we don’t have it down here), and let me just say…WOW. Sweet, tangy, savory, and the perfect pairing with the crispy wings. • Quesadillas – 10/10. Huge, stuffed with meat, and super flavorful. • Onion Rings – 7/10. Not the freshest batch, but still decent. The vibe at Stan’s is chill, classic, and definitely a DC gem. If you know, you know. Great food, strong drinks, and a place where locals and visitors all feel welcome. Pro tip: Don’t show up already tipsy unless you’re ready for your night to escalate fast 😅. But if you’re in DC, Stan’s is a must-visit!
