Old Ebbitt Grill is a historic bar and restaurant located at 675 15th Street NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States. It is Washington's oldest bar and restaurant,〔Determining which establishment is the oldest bar in Washington, D.C., is complex. Old Ebbitt Grill is the oldest continuously operating bar in the city. But it has changed owners and locations several times, which may invite the claim that it is not "continuously operated". The bar and restaurant in the Willard InterContinental Washington also lays claim to being the oldest bar and restaurant in the city. However, the original building was torn down and a new one erected on the same in 1901, and the hotel was closed from 1968 to 1986. As of 2010, the oldest bar in the city without an ownership change or interruption in service due to location change was Billy Martin's Tavern, which opened in 1933. See: Kelly, John. "D.C.'s Oldest Bar, Oldest Hotel? That's a Tricky Question." ''Washington Post.'' June 20, 2010.〕 and as of 2012 was owned by Clyde's Restaurant Group. It opened as an unnamed restaurant in the Ebbitt House Hotel. The Hotel had distinguished itself by being the first hotel in Washington to remain open all summer instead of closing when Congress adjourned. The Hotel was razed and rebuilt in the same location in 1827. Ebbitt House Hotel was razed in 1925 to make way for the National Press Building, built in 1926, but the restaurant was incorporated by Anders Lofstrand, Sr., as a stand-alone business. It moved into new quarters at 1427 F Street NW. After Lofstrand's death in 1955, the restaurant was purchased by Peter Bechas in 1961. The restaurant was sold at a tax sale in June 1970, and was purchased by Clyde's Restaurant Group. The 1427 F Street NW location was demolished in 1983, and Old Ebbitt Grill moved into its current quarters at 675 15th Street NW. For many years while it was part of Ebbitt House, the bar/restaurant had no stand-alone name or identity. It began using the name "New Ebbitt Café" in November 1910. In 1926, after the restaurant became a stand-alone business, it was known as both "Ebbitt's Grill" and "Old Ebbitt Grill". Over time, only the Old Ebbitt Grill name was used. It retained that name after its ownership changes in 1961 and 1970. Since 1970, Old Ebbitt grill has become the site of political scandals and parties hosted by famous actors and singers. For many years, it has been the restaurant with one of the highest amount of sales in the United States. Old Ebbitt Grill created a popular annual event known as the Oyster Riot in 1995. ==Ebbitt House: 1856 to 1925==
