The Tombs - 1226 36th Street NW
After hiking up the exhausting 75 steps set at Prospect and 36th Street (featured in
The Exorcist), take your tourists to cool off at this Georgetown restaurant that's popular with both university students and locals alike. Aside from their cool ales and tasty bites, The Tombs has famous history all on their own. Located near campus and the hospital, this spot served as inspiration for the bar featured in the 80's bratpack classic,
St. Elmo's Fire. If The Tombs is so fantastic that it prompted iconic film production, it is certainly worthy of being a stop on any DC tour.
