Well, I'm pleased I've finally posted something worthy of DCist to steal, and for you to steal back and re-share with all of us. Thank you for the map, and if I could find the orignal post, I may have put a map on there.
Nonetheless, support Andy. He's a loyal friend.

Ya know, I've got to sympathize a bit with the next door neighbors too... I wouldn't want to live next door to a bunch of drunken loud-mouthed frat boys yelling "whooo" -- the type of crowd Irish pubs in the US seem to attract -- either.

Love the retro web design! I feel like I'm back in 1995...
Not quite as well executed as the mid-80's BBS user interface of http://www.theraconteurs.com/ (http://www.theraconteurs.com/) but it's perfectly evocative of nascent web design, particularly of the period right after Netscape added support for animated GIFs and the <center> tag. Now, if only it used <blink>...

Interesting.....I wonder what the response to your post had it been something like.
I wouldn't want to live next door to a bunch of cracked up louts yelling "yo my nigga" -- the type of crowd hip-hop clubs in the US seem to attract either
Just wondering....

Mankie, I agree with you, that would suck too!
-
Oh yes. I cannot wait to get smashed at this new pub. It is going to be THE spot for me before and after shows. Alright.

Ian MacKaye would frown upon that!

hilarious ... i'm still waiting for someone to tell me what they would have done differently in that situation, i think i handled it in the most mature way possible

Tried to go there last night after The Panic Channel to only find out the last call is 10:30pm on school nights due to having to play nice with the neighbors (what neighbors?). So, no more drinks for me last night. Last call on Fridayâ??s and Saturdayâ??s is at 1:30am.

there are residences on either side of the pub...

Correction: Last Call on School Nights is 11:30pm.

duffy's has had to jump through a lot of hoops to even get to open. it sucks that they are limited in certain ways, but it's better than nothing.
the food and atmosphere are great. if you want to have a good meal and a pint before a show, i highly recommend stopping by.

Why is it this and so many other DC bars only seem to feature shit beer (e.g. Budweiser) on special at happy hour?

I'm surprised that you even have to ask this, but let me see if I can explain. There's something in business called a profit margin. In order to justify reducing prices you need to be able to make back what you're spending and still turn enough of a profit to make money. It's far less expensive to buy Bud and Miller Lite in bulk than it is to buy any of the craft beers. So you sell the crap beer cheap in hopes that people will come in and spend money on food and maybe liquor and maybe even better beer. It's a concept that's been around forever. At least itâ??s better than the old bait and switch, youâ??re getting what they advertise.
-
It's also worth mentioning that it works.

The ol' Natty Light in place of Bud. A difference of $20 dollars per keg but plenty of profit to be taken and no one the bud-weis-er ;)

But I go to happy hours in other cities, and I can find happy hours specials on inports.
For example, I was in the Belltown (yuppie) section of Seattle and went into a random bar, and they had pitchers of Guinness, Bass, etc. going for $10. Where can I find that in DC?

one block over at DC9, happy hour is $1 off of everything, if i remember correctly, and it runs real late ... the "classic" happy hour in DC is $2 coronas at front page ... there are plenty of "all you can drink" happy hours around the city, most of which you can get top shelf and premium beers ... didn't ontap used to have a list of all the DC happy hours? i'm sure you'd see some import beers on there
-
you sure do complain alot about DC...
didn't once upon a time On Tap have a listing of what happy hour specials were available? i have a dim memory of some such thing..
and honestly you are better sending a query about happy hour stuff to the Going Out Gurus or Ask DCist...
-
great minds think alike..
-
Of course I do a lot of complaining about DC. That's where I live (more or less). Why would I complain about some other city I don't even live in?
