Dear valued guests: DC restaurants have been operating with dynamic and significant increases in labor wages, food costs, and the general cost of doing business in DC. We have chosen to implement a 4% operational surcharge - which does not go towards gratuity - as the most comprehensive way to address this.
We appreciate your support and understanding.
Monday - Thursday 4PM-6PM
Friday "Happy Afternoon" 12PM-6PM
Open early for the Nats!
The Salt Line DC opens at least one hour prior to any home game and serves happy hour specials on weekdays.
