Martin's Tavern (Georgetown)

Martin's Tavern at 1264 Wisconsin Avenue NW has operated as a Georgetown neighborhood restaurant since 1933. The establishment displays a booth the tavern says is where Senator John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier in 1953; this account is presented by the restaurant as part of its longstanding lore. The tavern has long been known as a gathering place for local politicians, journalists, and neighborhood residents.
