Frommer's Review
Housed in a converted 19th-century Federal-style home, The Tombs, which opened in 1962, is a favorite hangout for students and faculty of nearby Georgetown University. (Bill Clinton came here during his college years.) They tend to congregate at the central bar and surrounding tables, while local residents head for "the Sweeps," the room that lies down a few steps and has red-leather banquettes.
Directly below the upscale 1789 restaurant, The Tombs benefits from 1789 chef Nathan Beauchamp's supervision. The menu offers burgers, sandwiches, and salads, as well as more serious fare.
