    Dive bar, indeed, but it has not been Brinkley's for a number of years now.  It turned into a "pub" with a British sort-of name that I don't recall, and is now just called the 7 Corners Pub, I think.  I have no idea if there were ownership changes along the way, or if it was just rebranding.  I think the last time I actually went inside was close to 30 years ago.

    The owner of Brinkley's passed away suddenly January 30th 2010. It changed ownership to Public House No. 7 where it thrived a few years before changing hands a couple more times then to 7 corners pub..it's a great location, just needs structure in a couple areas

    when i want to go to a bar/lounge 9 times out of 10 i want to sip, and sup, someplace sawnk. oh, but that 10th time, i want to go to a old fashioned dive bar. good jukebox, faded vinyl booths, and crusty bartenders that usually call everyone champ or hon. my favorites, in no particular order...

    the raven, 3100 block of mount pleasant street, mount pleasant - great jukebox with an eclectic range of rock'n'roll and old motown, and no credit cards accepted. has gotten a tad bit too popular for my tastes. packed on weekend nights.

    tune-inn, 3rd and penn., capitol hill - this place is the perfect anti-dote to bars packed with hill staffers who can't seem to talk about anything but politics.

    fox and hound, 17th and q (i think), dupont circle - you have to love a place that serves you a glass of vodka and a small bottle of tonic.

    what are your favorites?

    I'm surprised Brinkley's in Falls Church wasn't mentioned on here unless I didn't see it?

    I've had whole sea urchins that you need to cut open with either scissors or a *very* sharp hunting knife, and that's a whole 'nother experience.)

    You took me back to San Francisco where there was a little stand by the Pier they made uni ceviche right in the shell. -_- It was so good I can't put it in words

    What have you liked there?  (Are their pics on your insta?  I always love the pics you post.)

    The Ox tail and jerk chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, okra have been my staples there. You can tell each dish has been braised for hours till perfectly tender. The beef patties have a perfect flaky crust with a nice and spicy ground beef filling. 

    And thank you! Unfortunately, no..the pictures I post are of my restaurant. I'll be sure to take some pics of their food next week and post on here though ^_^

    I've been frequenting this restaurant WEEKLY. There are only about a handful of restaurants I will re-order from and this place takes a top spot. Home cooked, fresh spices, friendly customer service, and most important clean restaurant/kitchen/baseboards,ceilings (Yes, I look at every aspect of a restaurants cleanliness..it shows firsthand how much they care about the quality of food and their customers) The owner was super nice and very accommodating. Dishes run between an average of $20 a plate but well worth every penny!

    I never heard of those but I must try one. My mouth is watering looking at that photo. Omg.

    It sounds simple but their dough and baking technique is just something beyond words...

    Ebbtide in Annapolis is highly recommended.   Burger is great, place is a dive.

    Dives are usually the BEST EVER
