The Bottom Line, Downtown has been a landmark in D.C. since it was established in 1979. The bar occupies a basement space and also has heated outdoor seating. The menu features Mexican and American pub grub and offers a build-your-own burger option with a choice of ground beef or veggie patty as the base.

The burger can be topped with a choice of several toppings and is served on a toasted bun with homemade chips, fries, or tots. The menu also features several signature pre-fab burgers, including the Black and Bleu, the spicy Chalenango burger, or the Heidenberger, which is topped with Swiss cheese and fried onions and served with Russian dressing.
