If you're looking for a place to go out and drink (legally), options are limited, but there are a few good ones: look for Big Chair Bar & Grill, Cedar Hill Bar & Grill, and Player's Lounge.

| content=It's not a best kept secret that Congress Heights has one of the city's best pizza places. It's not a secret at all because, simply put, ''no one'' realizes this! But this is indeed some of the best New York-ish style pizza in the metro area. They'll spend a good half hour from the time you order cooking it, and that's always a good sign that you are getting pizza that's properly made and fresh out of the oven. It's meant for takeout or delivery, but there is a small table with two seats. Subs are also a cheaper option, but the pizza is the real reason to come. Rare among takeout east of the river, they accept credit cards.

| content=This modest Chinese restaurant and (full) bar has been here a good 30 years, which should raise questions about those claims of no sit-down restaurants East of the River! And the food is a good deal better than you might expect—it's notably less greasy than most Chinese restaurants (especially those on this side of town).
