there didn't seem to be a concensus to phillyhokie's request for restaurant recommendations, except of course for BEN'S CHILI BOWL!!, but there will be a bunch of people who don't know each other looking for a place to get together before David Gray on 8/6. Surely, there must be a bar or two in the area; after all, it's next to a university, right?
Any suggestions, close to the club?
phillyhokie, care to join us?

BEN"S CHILI BOWL
-
Or the Velvet Lounge (http://www.velvetloungedc.com/)
These 3 are your most obvious and very convenient choices but DC9 is probably the best of the lot. All depends on the evening and your preferences.

Black Cat Red Room?
-
Back bar!
-
Saint-Ex
-
Of course...there's always Polly's if you take out a second mortgage to buy a round of drinks.
-
Thanks everybody, sounds like some good choices.
Next round's on me :D

the past 3-4 times i've hit the 930 i've picked meeting people at Alero at the corner of 13th & U Street. most excellent food and great drinks ta-boot!
-
I'd suggest DC9 for drinks only (and it's a half block away), of the Saloon for drinks and some food. It's three, three and a half blocks over on U Street. Polly's fills up fast because it's small, so if you have people arriving at different times, I'd go with one of my suggestions.

thanks again for taking the time--much appreciated

Have you picked a place?

Two more options: A friend and I ate at the new Ethiopian restaurant right across from 930 on the southwest corner of 9th and U..inside or roof-top dining; very funky space; nice staff; cold drinks and REALLY cheap good food. I'd suggest it. Today's Food section in the Post plugged a new restaurant a few doors down from St.Ex. (on the southeast corner of 14 & T) called Pilar's...got nice reviews. Same Chef/management as Cafe St. Ex. Enjoy!

it's Bar Pilar, and it's nothing to really write home about ... it's way too hot right now b/c of the st-ex conx, and it's not the kind of place that's fun to go to when it's crowded ... food is so-so
sucks how much the menu prices went up at st-ex, it just got too crazy there ... would make for an interesting study in how a restaurant/bar starts as a neighborhood place and turns into a yuppie destination spot, attracting folks from nova and beyond, inspiring a price change
