This is a frequent stop for us just because it's right off of Dupont Circle, but its a really nice blend of comfort (eg, Shepard's pie, beef stew, etc), beer&wiskey (nice selection of English/Scotland varieties) and atmosphere (can get a bit loud at peak dinner times). Try a flight of beers makes for fun conversation.

Loud, sticky, too expensive for the quality of the ambiance

Very nice place with outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable, and appetizers are good. In addition, they have live music too.

Lively Irish bar in the picturesque surrounding of DuPont circle. Good food and a great selection of drinks with attentive staff.

I frequent this restaurant as a good alternative when Frontpage is over crowded. My group and I placed our orders for mimosas, as a accident on behalf of our waitress, drinks and champagne were spilled all over us. We were drenched in alcohol and glass. Our waitress apologized repeatedly, the manager witnessed the incident and offered napkins to help. (That was all that we saw from him). Once clearing the table off, we deciding to make the most of the disaster and order food. Our waiter apologized for a second time and said our bill will be comped on behalf of the manager, due to the extreme incident. (Mind you the manager David never apologized for the incident). Our waitress came to our table and said that after further thought the manager will comp our round of drinks. This would have been okay, however once I asked for the manager to at least apologize in person, is when my discomfort started to grow. David, the manager approach us and said "what seems to be the issue?" He than, began too jokingly say that "things like this happen all the time and that its just the business". I have not heard of any restaurants in DC spilling champagne and glass as a common practice. From his lack of concern for our safety and comfort really leaves me to question how this establishment is still in business. As a person who loves a wonderful restaurant, I would not recommend James Hobans. From the uncomfortable experience I had during my time there, I would rate this and David Giroup( the manager) a one star. I will provide photos once I remove the glass from my shoes.
I hope this helps some considering dining here.response / report this review -

Go-to Irish pub. The food is solid and they have drink specials for each day of the week. They have a massive bar with a bunch of Tv's so its a good place to catch games. They have live music on the weekends and it gets one of the largest crowds for St. Paddy's day.

Great Irish pub located right next to the metro station at DuPont Circle. Wonderful Shepherd's pie. Nice selection draft and craft beers along with a full bar.

Food wasn't bad but the service was. Took forever to get our orders taken and when the food came we didn't have silverware and had to hunt it down ourselves. While we were waiting one of the servers even came to ask if we had been helped because several others hadn't. Food was fine but nothing special. Took a long time to get our check also.

Great spot for beer and a good venue space. I was here for plant with some friends. We sat in the back area which is very private. Great for any event for 20 to 40 people. The beer range between seven to nine dollars. I didn't eat the food but my friends enjoyed the fish and chips and other typical Irish and American dishes. Easy access to the metro and friendly staff.

This is a great place for a family dinner! We were seated quickly, our waitress had a lovely Irish accent, and the atmosphere was very warm. The menu had options for lovers of Irish specialties as well as everyone else. Our server was pleasant and attentive, sports was on the big screen tvs, and the food was great. We will definitely come back and will suggest James Hoban's to friends!
