The Tavern
Established in 1933, Martin’s Tavern is one of Washington DC’s most historic family-owned enterprises. For 75 years, Martin’s Tavern has been a renowned fixture in Washington DC and a must-visit establishment in historic Georgetown. From sitting Presidents and media icons, to city residents and world travelers, Martin’s Tavern is a welcoming home to the many who have long embraced the rich, storied atmosphere of the historic location.
There have been seven and half decades of outstanding cooks at Martin’s and a legacy of service people. Billy Martin insists on being a gracious host to anyone who walks through his doors. Prices have respectfully remained modest and Martin’s simple formula of making customers happy has delivered 75 years of continuous success.
In this unique atmosphere, guests engage with each other in the spirit of the city; familiar neighborhood faces mixing with the most powerful names in Washington and popular culture ensure a genuine dialogue and friendship amongst all. It is this classic characteristic of Martin’s Tavern’s staff and patrons that brought monumental figures such as Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and even Richard Nixon to hold court in Martin’s booths. Our tradition of hospitality to has brought every sitting president from Harry Truman to George W. Bush to the tables of our tavern.
History
In the 1890s, William S. Martin traveled from Galway, Ireland to America. In 1933, some forty years later, in the midst of the Great Depression and the beginning of the Repeal of Prohibition, later, he and his son, William G. Martin, opened Martin’s Tavern on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and N Street NW. In 1949, William G. Martin’s son, William A. Martin, joined the Tavern after serving in the Navy during World War II. Now his son and current owner, Billy Martin recalls the rich stories of “The Dugout” in the Tavern; regaling in the countless meetings held by Speaker Sam Rayburn, Senator Lyndon Johnson, Capitol Hill and business leaders and countless celebrities.
