Don’t go looking for the Froggy Bottom Pub, no matter how much we enjoyed the burgers. You won’t find it. That is unless you happen to be in Washington, DC.
We were up in DC where Josh was checking out colleges. Between the standard admissions office introduction and tour and our meeting with a professor from the history department, we stumbled across this little pub on the edge of the George Washington University Campus (thank you Urban Spoon).
Opened in 1985, Froggy Bottom Pub is pretty much your typical college joint with staples such as burgers, pizza, chicken sandwiches, salads, and plenty of bar food. Located at 2142 Pennsylvania Ave. in the heart of the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of DC and on the web at http://www.froggybottompub.com/, this neighborhood bar has everything a college student would want in a favorite joint, including pool and foosball as well as plenty of room spread out over three levels.
Burgers
We both ordered up a Bottom Cheeseburger, Josh’s with American and Mark’s with cheddar. Both were cooked to order and though it took a while to get to the table since it was the lunch hour, it arrived nice and hot and juicy.
The lettuce and tomato were good, nothing special, and the bun was a bit oversized for the amount of meat it was holding. Not that the patty was small. It looked like a solid third pound piece of meat and tasted as though it had never been frozen.
The fries were light, with a crispy exterior and a melt in your mouth interior. And the pickle spears (Josh didn’t eat his so Mark had them both) tasted like good deli dill slices I’ve had at some joints in New York.
Even though it was crowded and our food took a bit to get out of the kitchen, it was well worth the wait and we made our appointment with the professor in plenty of time. If you’re ever up in DC, head about five blocks west of the White House and stop into the Froggy Bottom Pub. It’s well worth it. Who knows, in the fall of 2012 you may see Josh hanging out there.
