"On a recent Friday night, around 150 people lined up around the block to get into DC's newest hotspot. They weren't seeking out some trendy cuisine or buzzy chef. They were waiting for Eebee's, which is, basically, just a neighborhood bar. Vintage beer signs and family photos give the Shaw corner joint a dive-y unpretentiousness. You can get a Miller High Life for $6 or a martini for $13. And the cheeseburger is better than you might expect."
"Eebee's feels like the antidote to all that gimmickry. And as economic uncertainty has overtaken the region, Eebee's is a relatively affordable oasis amid all the high prices. The menu is full of nostalgic classics-mozzarella sticks, a turkey club, a banana split-done right. But the biggest draw has been the burger: a dry-aged Pat La Frieda beef patty with plenty of freshly cracked pepper, a slice of raw onion, plus cheddar and American cheese on a house-baked bun."
Eebee's is a neighborhood bar in Shaw, Washington, DC, that draws long lines despite its unpretentious, dive-y atmosphere. The bar offers inexpensive drinks alongside a menu of nostalgic classics and a standout cheeseburger built with a dry-aged Pat La Frieda patty, cracked pepper, raw onion, and dual cheeses on a house-baked bun. Independent, mid-priced full-service establishments have struggled amid rising costs and widespread restaurant closures, yet Eebee's has become an exception. The owner's visible, hands-on hospitality and the bar's affordability contrast sharply with corporate-backed, polished concepts and helped make Eebee's a popular local destination.
