Nestled in the heart of Logan Circle, a few doors down from Number Nine Stoney’s is not just a bar—it’s a DC institution with over 50 years of serving up delicious food, refreshing drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug from your favorite neighbor. Our team recently ventured into this neighborhood gem for a lunch that left us grinning from ear to ear, and we’re already plotting our return. Here’s why Stoney’s is the place to be for a midday escape that’s equal parts productive and indulgent.
A Menu That Packs a Punch
Let’s talk food, because Stoney’s knows how to make your taste buds sing. The Thunderbird grilled cheese was nothing short of a revelation—imagine a melty, cheesy masterpiece with a whimsical twist that makes you question why you ever settled for plain old bread and cheese. It’s the kind of sandwich that deserves its own fan club. The Cobb salad was a breath of fresh air, crisp and vibrant, as if the ingredients had just finished a morning yoga session. And the French onion soup? It was so rich and savory, it could probably afford its own zip code.
