Part of Hive Hospitality
Tucked into a historic cobblestone alley in Georgetown, our 50-seat American steakhouse is an intimate expression of Hive Hospitality’s passion for exceptional dining. Here, we showcase what we believe to be the finest beef available—thoughtfully sourced from producers who share our commitment to quality, integrity, and flavor.
Our space is designed to match the experience: dark, moody, and quietly seductive. It’s a setting that feels polished and precise, yet never pretentious—where every detail is considered but never overdone.
We invite our guests to explore—whether that means discovering new cuts, diving into a world-class wine list, or simply settling into the rhythm of a great night out. At our core, we’re about creating a place that feels as good as it tastes.
Above all, we’re here for one simple purpose: to be the place where you come to "Eat More Beef".
