Dock Fc

Cute sports bar with a vintage diner vibe. It's very bare bones but is owned by the same folks who own La Puerta Verde and Ari's Diner. They serve a basic menu from both restaurants, breakfast all day from Ari's and a small selection from La Puerta Verde (nachos, chips, etc). Service was prompt, mixed drinks were not very strong for cost. It's alright.

They put on the Canada/Costa Rica women's CONCACAF semifinal game on Fox Sports Plus for us when no other sports bar was sure they had that channel! It's like it was the only place in the city where we could be sure we'd get to see the game! They had a cozy couch area with big screens so it was like we were hanging out in our own living room, but with super friendly service and with a delicious Mexican restaurant available to us! They get their food from an adjoining diner and an adjoining Mexican restaurant, and while we didn't try the diner, the Mexican was delicious! We tried a bunch of different tacos and they were all really good, but the carnitas ones were so good we actually got another tray of them! They were juicy and sweet and had almost a cinnamony taste -- really unexpected and really delicious!

Dock FC is nestled in the Ivy City district of NE DC. It's a converted garage turned pub that offers numerous television screens to watch soccer matches. The place is well decorated with club banners and national flags lifted in the rafters. Meanwhile there is a bar and stool tables to sit while watching the match. It's kinda neat with the garage setup as driver bys and onlookers from outside can catch the ambiance and join in if there's a big game going on (e.g. world cup). There was a diverse mix of patrons there - some there to grab a bite, some there to watch the games. In today's case, many people came to support their team at the world cup that gave an extra boost of energy. Drinks were on par to DC prices. The dock FC punch special was good and would have again. Haven't had any of their food dishes but service seemed good. Overall, it's a very good soccer bar and would come back again.
