Hawk N Dove

Hawk ‘n’ Dove is a Capitol Hill institution—Washington, D.C.'s original neighborhood gathering place since 1967. Nestled just steps from the Capitol, this iconic American tavern blends timeless character with a fresh, elevated take on New American comfort food.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere filled with historic charm, warm wood finishes, and a sense of camaraderie that feels like home. Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch, a post-work cocktail, or a weekend brunch with friends, Hawk ‘n’ Dove offers something for everyone.

The menu celebrates classic American fare with a modern twist—featuring signature burgers, creative flatbreads, hearty entrees, and vibrant salads. Behind the bar, our team serves up expertly crafted cocktails, local beers, and an approachable wine list that keeps the mood celebratory yet relaxed.

Beloved by locals, Hill staffers, and visitors alike, Hawk ‘n’ Dove is more than a restaurant—it’s a D.C. tradition.
