Whether its a birthday or a special occassion, you just go out with a couple close friends to have just "a drink" but to make it count. Where would you go? ~ Fri Mar 05 14:24:11 -0800 2004 0 Birthdayboy 1 909528 my, my the options... Friends are from out of town and it's a beautiful day, terrace bar at the Hotel Washington. if we want to be hip and loungy, Gazuza, Topaz, Chi Cha beer and divey, Big Hunt to celebrate a DC United victory, Capitol Lounge to drown a DC United defeat, Capitol Lounge to have some tasty snacks with that drink, Zaytinya it's midnight and we want to hear a DJ, Blue Room to have a Boddington's and a nice plate of fish and chips, Mackey's those are the place I frequent.

These are the only two places I've found where you can get your Sidecar (Hennessy, please) with fresh lemon juice. Cheers, Xochitl10 Sat Mar 06 13:38:38 -0800 2004 909525 0 Xochitl10
