if you're looking for a low-key beer drinking place:
if you can get into the "brewer's lounge" or whatever at district chophouse, that's always a good option ... fado is usually solid ... RFD has great beer, no atmosphere ... clyde's has a bunch of bars, and that's right next to the phone booth
a lot of the chinese places around there have great happy hour deals on drinks, matchbox has a decent happy hour but it's always slammed ... ella's wood fired pizza is decent too, but often really busy (is the free pizza happy hour only on fridays?)
-
I like Matchbox, for its beer and pizza.
-
hmmm, how about the RNR Bar? anyone been there before?
-
The phone booth? Do people other than sports reporters actually say that?
-
Fado is as much Irish as McDonalds is Scottish.
-
Austin Grill is decent for margaritas and chips.

I just heard the only decent Irish bar in DC closed down, i was planning on going in March, oh well
-
Health Dept finally shut that place down?
-
stay away from that place that seems to be so proud of their on-site, vat brewed five choices of tapped tastebud bland. forgot the name of it, but i think it has some sort of german or bavarian chime to the "chain restaurant charm." it might be on corner of eighth and f.
-
okie.
thanks friends. we picked Clydes cause of its close proximity. just wanted a place to meet to exchange some tickets and a beer.
go Bruins! ;)

I guess they just couldnt compete anymore with Disney of Ireland across the street
-
hang on, nanny o'brien's is shut down??
-
yes,last week, my buddy was there on the last night and told me about it
-
At the risk of living up to my name, there's a Coyote Ugly not far at all!
-
Hooters.
-
Don't, er, knock Hooters for cheap beer.
I had read (washington post?) that Nanny's was being "updated" by the owners of Bedrock Billiards.
-
My habit is to go to Zola when I'm down there because they serve lobster rolls at the bar
-
I'm pretty sure Coyote Ugly closed.
-
Coyote Ugly was hideous... I went there once, in an effort not to be narrow-minded, and it was awful, awful. Lots of lonely aging frat-boy types staring with frog eyes at the hawt girls on the bar, as if one of them might go home with them -- which of course would never happen.
One time I sat at the bar at Fado on an off night and ordered the Indian curry chicken. Asked the bartender what he thought of it, and he said, in a thick accent, "I think it tastes like shite, but people seem to like it." But it was OK.
-
Coyote Ugly is now the R+R BaR ... OK place. multiple floors. Some lounging areas here and there. Lucky Strike is OK for pre-Wiz game noshing and drinking. And you don't have to go back outside to enter the V Ctr, just go down the escalator, pass the movie theater box office to the doors of the arena.
-
i highly recommend the buffalo burger at RFD. ordered rare and accompanied by a belgian witbier = bliss.
stay far far away from the indian place on 7th across from Fado's/RFD and just south of hooters... disgusting.

Makes sense. They also own Atomic and Aroma on that stretch...
