Washington, DC Nightlife

Good Drinks

1. Degrees Bar & Lounge…

Neighborhood: Georgetown

even when I've stayed for hours without ordering drink after drink.  Four stars, instead of five, because the drinks here are pricey.  $12.50 for a martini, even a good one, causes some sticker shock...

2. Nightclub 9:30

to that, a relatively diverse crowd of people can be found here on any given night. Many shows are all ages, and the staff seems to be really good about curbing under-age drinking (Last Saturday I personally...

3. Black Cat

The space is small but not cramped. The two bars on either side of the room make for easy access to drinks. The drinks are too badly priced.... $3.50 for PBR draft, $5.50 rails (strong and good sized).   I...

4. Russia House

smoking shisha earlier in the evening(at Guapo in Arlington), and we had a few drinks beforehand.  We were headed to Atomic Billiards and frankly, we both wanted to see some good looking girls before we...

5. Zola

Neighborhood: Penn Quarter

Great decor, good food and drink- we went for our anniversary and found it the perfect place for a dressed up night....

Nice Bartenders

1. The Pug

Neighborhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast

in the place and 2 of the others came in with you.  I must say the bartender was a pretty nice guy, and a native to DC. Granted it's kind of hard to brush off customers when they're basically your only business...

2. Madam's Organ

Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

was embarrassingly weak and (therefore) bad, but I blame this more on the bartender than the establishment.  An ethnically diverse and integrated crowd, which I like, a nice mix of ages too. Good...

3. Palace of Wonders

Neighborhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast

: bartenders knowing Zach G.'s name and the drink he prefers.  It's really nice to know that there is someplace in the city that has bartenders like that.  The second best part of the night: $3.00 24 oz...

4. Round Robin Bar

them DC is safe, clean, and nice d) are wearing pleated trousers e) are a young attractive girl looking for client 9.  Otherwise, save your money, it's just an expensive hotel bar that is rather "meh"....

5. Galaxy Hut

The bartender was really nice, and they have a good beer selection.  It's a fairly small bar, though we only stayed in the front part, but it's a cozy area of the bar.  Best of all, they have three of those...
