Ventnor Sports Cafe (CLOSED)

UNC Chapel Hill, Michigan Syracuse and Stanford all call this longtime Adams Morgan sports bar home, and Orioles fans can find company here as well. Ventnor is an excellent example of a spruced-up bar food and beer selection: You’ll find your standbys here, but also craft offerings from breweries as far afield as Maryland’s Eastern Shore and Colorado. Be sure to try the “The Ventnor,” a riff on the cheese steak that slides in salami, and cap it all off with fried Oreos. Just try not to get powdered sugar on everything pumping your fist in the air.
