Hawk 'n' Dove Description:
The crowd at Hawk and Dove rotates with the hours: Library of Congress workers, House of Representatives staffers, and student interns. This ensures a loud and lively atmosphere full of friendly arguments and complaints about insiders over burgers and pub fare. An outdoor patio affords a view of Hill staffers coming and going, and the bar and music program are there to let them unwind.
Because of its clear view of the Capitol, the Hawk 'n' Dove feels a bit like a company commissary---and the company is the U.S. government. A favorite of employees of the Library of Congress, it offers a certain comfort level for regulars, who can come in and order the usual. The intelligent and well-read crowd brings dignity to the two-martini lunch, which is affordably priced here. But eating here is more about the conversation than the food, although the burgers are decent enough for any gourmand. After hours, interns and students working on the Hill make good use of the pool table in the back room, guaranteeing a change in the atmosphere.
