any suggestions? preferably somewhere not too pricey or with too much attitude..

has that new place behind the 930 opened yet? have other new places opened?

thanks for any suggestions ... meeting someone before the afghan whigs concert tonight and so far we don't have much in the way of ideas...

i really like american ice company.

eat = bbq
drink = good beers in mason jars
be merry = outdoors
attitude = its a renovated garage bro

I like Vinoteca.  They have a really nice happy hour, but it's wine, but it's 5 bucks a glass.

A little more pretentious, but it's loud enough in there that you can be your own group.

Good call.. and actually, got to Ben's Next Door.  You can order food from Ben's and they'll run over and get it, and you can drink and be merry at the bar.

I've lived in the DC area for 15 years, and the Baltimore area for three, and have never been to Ben's.

Greek Spot, Duffy's, Ulah Bistro.

Or just go to the club when the doors open and get food at the upstairs bar.

Don't remember the name of the place but there was a nice little Ethiopian bar and restaurant right across the street from DC9. When I was there, the food was good, very reasonably priced and the atmosphere was quite low key and pleasant. Guess it's still there. I really liked the place a lot.
