Thinking PS7, PX Lounge, Poste...that sort of thing. Thanks! Tue Jul 15 12:45:16 -0700 2008 48044 WashDC33 1 3871029 PS7 is my top choice for great drinks. I have also enjoyed the drinks at Degrees bar in the Ritz in Georgetown. Hudson has good drinks (if not a tad pricey...but most of these places are a little pricey unless its Happy Hour). Tue Jul 15 12:47:39 -0700 2008 3871020 76776 Elyssa 1 3871044 PS7 and PX are my two favorites. If you want some appetizers too I would recommend the bar at Eve (so you can get great drinks and food). Also, Mie N Yu has some creative cocktails - I remember a mango one and a pineapple one were excellent the last time I was there. Tue Jul 15 12:51:57 -0700 2008 3871020 174633 dcfoodie13 1 3871145 Rasika has really good cocktails. I just has a few when I went last week I forget which ones, but I really liked both. One had rose and some sort of sparkling wine maybe? Eat Bar in Arlington has great cocktails, their bartender just won an award for them, I forget which award though. Every single cocktail I have had there, I think I have had almost every one, is really good. And she will make something up just for you if you tell her what you like. Oya has some good cocktails I like their dark and stormy. PS7's lavender gimlet is really good. Liberty Tavern has a really good grapefruit cocktail someone just reminded me of. But I think Eat Bar and PX/Eve are the two best in the area. Nothing really compares to PX.

Per their website they claim not to have a bar drink menu, instead letting their bartenders whip something to suit your tastes. I haven't been, but I am intrrigued... Eve is phenomenal. So creative and always delicious. Also, I like the cocktails at Co Co Sala. They're more dessert-ish than that of some other places, but I usually prefer to drink my dessert, so it suits me just fine! Tue Jul 15 14:54:56 -0700 2008 3871020 165120 dckw 2 3871590 That reminds me! The dessert list at Rasika had dessert cocktails I wish I would have seen because if I had seen them with the regular cocktails I would have ordered dessert first! But by the time I got there I was at my limit for the evening, so next time I will be asking for the dessert list cocktails because they looked good and I would like to try one. Tue Jul 15 15:37:09 -0700 2008 3871440 92426 ktmoomau 1 3872444 Don't overlook Tom Brown's creations at Cork, Adam's special cocktail menu Tuesdays at Bar Pilar, and Chantal's at the Tabard Inn (Wednesday and Thursdays?). I've also enjoyed creative cocktails at Citronelle Lounge, New Heights, and Nicaro. Gina Chersevani left Rasika and I think is at EatBar/Tallula now. Definitely worth checking out if you're in NoVa, although my absolute favorites are still Todd Thrasher's creations at PX, Eve and Majestic. Tue Jul 15 20:08:16 -0700 2008 3871020 11601 crackers 1 3872728 Ferrous has a stellar "Green Mary" - think spinach not tomato. Tue Jul 15 22:25:13 -0700 2008 3871020 163722 hill food 1 3874515 definitely Eat Bar. Aside from all kinds of inventive cocktails their wine BTG selection is impressive.
