Drinks & Nightlife
Looks way nicer on the inside. Good food (we love the buffalo chicken wrap) and good specialty drinks. Perfect atmosphere for a pregame, night cap, or casual date. Avoid the shrimp po boy. Just sayin.

A favorite bar of ours in DC. This place is always fun. Two bars inside. An outdoor area. A dance floor. Prime location. If you want an epic night this is a good place to start.

This bar is on the crowded side but we always seem to have fun here. I suggest going to the smaller upstairs room, there's less people there and easier access to the bar. Prime location.
