About Us

Welcome to The Admiral, a lively bar and restaurant located steps from Dupont Circle. We eagerly provide a vibrant bar scene, casual bar fare, daily happy hour, a variety of private event spaces and a massive outdoor patio. 

The Admiral offers happy hour Tuesday thru Sunday from 4 to 6 pm. Happy hour is available throughout the entire restaurant and the patio. 

On sunny days we welcome you to join us on our sprawling, 2,000 square foot patio, which features a variety of dining, bar and private event spaces.

As with all Mission Group venues, The Admiral is your go-to spot for any and all types of events ranging from office happy hours to birthday parties to game watches to full scale corporate buy-outs. We treat each and every event with care and take pride in our lightning fast response time to inquiries.

On Friday and Saturday nights after dinner and game watches have ended, we welcome some of the city's best DJs to keep things going strong right until close. No dress code or bottle service, just an amazing high energy and unpretentious late night experience. 

Brunch is served from noon until 4 pm on weekends. A bottomless brunch option is available, with ninety minutes of mimosas, bloodies, Bud Light and orange crushes. Guests must order a brunch or lunch entree to participate in the bottomless drinks option.

We love hosting all kinds of events! If you'd like to find out more information, please fill out our private event form and someone will get back to you very quickly.

The Admiral is owned and operated by Mission Group, a Washington DC-based hospitality company. Other Mission Group properties include Mission Dupont, Hawthorne, Mission Navy Yard, Salazar and Royal Sands Social Club.
