Specialties

A classic American establishment with a neighborhood feeling where all are welcome, from the University Student, Attorney’s, Tourist, Civil Servants & on and on– all are welcome at Stoney’s.

History

Established in 1968.

In May of 1968, two guys named Steve & Tony opened a restaurant on the corner of 13^th & L Street, just blocks from where our new restaurant on L St. & our other location on P. St, are located.

Since that summer in 1968, Stoney’s has endured as a neighborhood establishment through the ever-​changing story of D.C. we are often asked, what kind of place is Stoney’s? That is a fair question, but not one that is possible to answer.

Stoney’s is where Washington Post reporters down pitchers of beer and wings after a long day of deadlines, a place where cops grab food on the go, hotel guest dropping in for a happy hour beer or best grilled cheese in all of the district, nearby restaurant staff decompress after a long shift on their feet, University students playing intense games of trivia and many more–

The best way to put it is «Stoney’s is a place without judgement, whatever your story is come on in and seat yourself and make our home your home»

In May of 1968, two guys named Steve & Tony opened a restaurant on the corner of 13^th & L St., just blocks from where the new Stoney’s on L Street is today. It was a tense time in Washington; MLK Jr., had just been assassinated, & riots had left the city fractured & scarred.

Since the summer month in 1968, Stoney’s has endured as a neighborhood establishment through the ever-​changing story of D.C.
