Love the retro web design! I feel like I'm back in 1995...

I feel like I'm looking at Ned Divine's website.

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.

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
