I know some will call me a TV elitist but to be a Sports Bar you need HDTV. Good thing about Green Turtle it is off of 7th street so you can usually get a table / spot at the bar if the Caps are not playing CrankyPants Says: ' I saw we have one in DC…it just seems to fit much, much **better in the boring ‘burbs.'** It is a Sports Bar it does not sell knitting needles. Do I detect DC snobbery???? All the chains are downtown. Watched Thursday night NFL season opener – The TVs where I sat (near front high tables) not in be in high definition.

I work a couple blocks away and we have all eliminated it as a lunch/happy hour option. The food is average sports bar food but the service is dreadful; very slow and I have yet to actually get the food that I ordered. This place is horrible.

If you go there for the food, look on the website to see what the special of the day is (You can get a filling hamburger on Thursdays for $5). Bar Louis is better but the Green Turtle is okay.

Don't most people go to a sports bar because they can't get the game on TV at home? I thought the setup was nice if you're looking to hang out with a few friends and watch a game instead of getting rowdy. All of the booths have their own TV turned to whatever game you want to watch. I haven't run into at too many places. If you're looking for a bar to get hammered with other fans it definitely wasn't the place for Thursday night football...

That entire block of 7th is infested worse than the Paris sewers. If you eat at RFD or Fado you are just asking to get a plate full of rat excrement.

Just glad something has stuck in that location, I lived down there when it was a steak house that never had any customers, and the Drinx bar didn't last long there either.

Miserable if you try to go immediately before a game -- absolutely packed and no place to sit, place your drink. And they fry food very well, in my humble.
