Editorial Review for Six Arms McMenamins – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
Since it belongs to the ever-present McMenamins chain, it's a pleasant surprise that Six Arms fits so well into Capitol Hill's independent spirit. The planning is certainly obvious--it's got that upscale-grunge look--but nothing feels forced. Big, funky dark wood booths and a fine selection of ales make this a real neighborhood joint. Servers are quick with suggestions and happy to check with the kitchen on special orders.
The Draw
Cocktails are on the menu, but housebrewed beer holds the place of honor. Of the many McMenamins branded taps, two are nitrogenated (rather than carbonated), and supply a clean, unusual flavor that's worth sampling. To go with your generous plate of beer-battered fish and chips or fat, juicy burger, try the sampler plate of brews that offers a few sips of every variety.

Cool decor but sadly the service was terrible. We stood around waiting fore someone to say something or kinda direct us but no...we ended seating ourselves. Bad service, bad food.......GREAT beer.
Pros: ambience
Cons: service

looked cool, service sucked. It should just open at night like most other bars and forget trying to be a restaurant, the food was lame anyway. My husband and I were ignored repeatedly by our waitress, I know a girl needs to have a smoke, flirt with boys at the bar even have a seat a table with a friend now and again but she was doing all of this instead of waiting on us the whoe time we were there. So far as a visitor we've had no good service at any of the places we've been so we had no expectations but this was the worst. And we're not an uptight JCREW wearing couple.
