Arriving by bike or on foot
The 14th Street corridor is one of the most walkable stretches in the District, and Commissary sits in the middle of it. Capital Bikeshare docks are within a block in three directions, and the P Street protected bike lane runs past the door.
If you are coming from Dupont, the walk along P Street is about twelve minutes and passes the whole 14th Street restaurant row. From Thomas Circle it is closer to eight.
When to come, and when to expect a wait
Seventeen years of service has produced a fairly predictable rhythm. This is the honest version.
- Weekday mornings, 8–10 AM
- The calmest hours of the week. Tables available, laptops welcome, coffee moving fast.
- Weekday lunch, 12–1:30 PM
- Busy but quick. The sandwich and pizza side of the board turns over faster than the entrees.
- Happy hour, 3–6 PM
- The bar fills first and stays full. The patio is the better bet if the weather cooperates.
- Saturday & Sunday brunch, 10 AM–2 PM
- The busiest service of the week by a wide margin. Reserve, or come before ten.
- Weeknight dinner, 6–8 PM
- Steady rather than slammed. Usually walkable without a reservation.
Accessibility
The dining room and the outside café are on street level. If you have specific access needs — table height, service animal seating, a quieter corner — call ahead on 202-299-0018 and the floor manager will set the room up before you arrive rather than after.
