RARE Steakhouse and Tavern

RARE Steakhouse & Tavern is a fine dining steakhouse located in Washington DC’s downtown district.

Since we opened our first steakhouse in Madison, WI, we have prided ourselves on our in-house butchering and aging program. Our dry aged cuts, ribs and short loin spend 3 - 4 weeks in climate controlled aging rooms where enzymes tenderize and concentrate flavor of the beef. This tradition continues with our new flagship in Washington, DC.
