Since its founding, The Tombs restaurant has always held a special place in the hearts of Hoya fans everywhere. The bar and grill below the landmark 1789 Restaurant is decorated throughout with memorabilia of Georgetown's football and crew teams, and is the home for monthly a cappella performances by another Georgetown tradition, The Chimes.
Created By Richard McCooey in 1962, its name harkens to a T.S. Eliot poem, Bustopher Jones: The Cat About Town, whose protagonist was said to have "lunched at the Tomb".
The Tombs remains a popular student and alumni destination when v isiting campus, as well as a prime location to meet after home games. There always seems to be a wait, but the restaurant's appeal for Hoya fans is no less diminished, over 60 years years since its founding.
