A cornbread waffle topped with pork cheek chili, a fried egg, avocado, cheese, and charred chili sauce. Sauteed onions and potatoes topped with hanger steak and red and green peppers. A pair of poached eggs over golden fried chicken and arugula, all smothered with hollandaise sauce. At The Passenger, expect to see decadent dishes like these on the brunch menu.

On the typical weeknight evening, the bar bites are equally inventive, and they pair perfectly with the many craft beers, ciders, and wines on the drink list. Dig into some Korean-style chicken wings with a pint of locally brewed DC Brau Pils, or complement your duck carnitas tacos with a glass of Farm Flor cider brewed by Graft Cider in New York State. Don’t forget to check out the rotating brews on tap, too, at The Passenger. You might just find your new favorite beer.
