Tabard Inn Restaurant
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1739 N St NW
Washington, DC 20036

Jason C. writes: Saturday brunch? I really didn't know such a thing was possible. I mean, there's Sunday brunch. And, uh, breakfast Monday through Friday. I figured Saturday woulda piggybacked on Friday.

So I get my first date in over three months and she can only…

Nightclub 9:30

815 V St NW
Washington, DC 20001

Kevin L. writes: Oh. My. God. BOOBIES.

That's pretty much all I could pay attention to while I was here for a concert. Not that the concert wasn't great, or that the sound system wasn't impressive, or that the crowd wasn't into it. No, 9:30 club had it all pretty…

Komi
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1509 17th Street NW
Washington, DC 20050

MiRIAM w. writes: There's no shortage of "fine dining" restaurants in Washington, D.C. however they seem to spawn more from ostentation and from what expense account diners are willing to spend than from love of food or epicurean aspiration. I am continually…

Black Cat

1811 14th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Surf Buddha E. writes: You can escape the khaki-wearing, self-important drones that fill DC and hear some good shows with your tattooed and pierced brethren who are probably just as self important, but don't think they're the next senator from the state of X. Not much on…

Temperance Hall
Neighborhood: Park View

3634 Georgia Ave NW
Washington, DC 20010

Matthew D. writes: Temperance Hall is a bar and restaurant in the Petworth neighborhood just a block from the Georgia Ave./Petworth Green line Metro stop. It has quickly (it opened in Jan. '06) become the "local" for Petworth residents. The food is American pub fare…

Blue Duck Tavern
Neighborhood: West End

1201 24th St NW
Washington, DC 20037

MiRIAM w. writes: After numerous visits, Blue Duck Tavern remains at the top of my list of restaurants in DC. The straight forward, well executed food impresses my guests time and again and never fails to leave me with a smile on my face.

My favorite time to go is at…

Mendocino Grille & Wine Bar
Neighborhood: Georgetown

2917 M Street NW
Washington, DC 20007

MiRIAM w. writes: Skip the dining room and eat at the bar.

And for exceptional value, come on a Sunday night and take advantage of the half-price bottles of wine.

The Tombs
Neighborhood: Georgetown

1226 36th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20007

Leila S. writes: If I were to post on craigslist tonight, it would look a little something like this...

The Birchmere

3701 Mount Vernon Ave
Alexandria, VA 22305

Neal E. writes: The Birchmere is Virginia's best kept concert venue secret. While it's well known in the music community, I think a lot of fans of music are unaware of it's existence.

The doors to the Birchmere Box Office open at 5:00 pm. You can then pick up your…

Asylum
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2471 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Anne L. writes: Asylum: Biker Haven or Vegan Delight?

In this Adams Morgan classic, Dungeon chic rules and secures the line against tacky theme restaurants. The upstairs is cozy with draped velvet, chandeliers, live music, and black dragon adorned bar and DJ booth.…

Fox and Hounds Lounge
Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

1537 17th St NW
Washington, DC 20036

Tommy W. writes: One word: Come on!!

The Fox is a chill place to hang out for as little or as long as you want. A word of warning, though: If you go to the Fox for a drink, be warned that you won't roll out of there a sober-saurus whatsoever. You order one drink…

Tryst Coffee House Bar & Lounge
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2459 18th Street NW
Washington, DC 20009

Ed to the M. writes: The food wasn't that great here - I got I believe a "Hot Sally" sandwich which is a tuna melt that had unmelted cheese and sour tuna - but really, this place is a coffee house with fast free WiFi, strong lattes, excellent robust selection of iced and…

Galaxy Hut

2711 Wilson Boulevard
Arlington, VA 22201

Michelle H. writes: AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOME.

Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome.

I've been looking for a decent bar since I got here. And I finally found it. Excellent outsider-type art on the walls, a killer cheeseburger (I had them put jalapenos on mine,…

Rasika

633 D St NW
Washington, DC 20001

Ina K. writes: Palak chaat! Palak chaat!

Don't be surprised if you see me going into Indian restaurants chanting the name of this dish that I tried at Rasika. Consisting of crispy spinach, sweet yogurt, tamarind and date chutney, the flavors and textures of palak…

Sonoma Restaurant & Wine Bar
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill/Southeast

223 Pennsylvania Avenue SE
Washington, DC 20050

MiRIAM w. writes: If you've ever lived in Northern California you might be understandably skeptical about a place called Sonoma in Washington, D.C. However, I went with an open mind. When I entered the space I immediately liked the airiness, the long bar and the…

The Saloon
Neighborhood: U Street Corridor

1205 U Street NW
Washington, DC 20009

heather m. writes: I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the Saloon. I love the…

Little Fountain Cafe
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2339 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Emi N. writes: They do a great job on modern American fare; you can tell they put a good amount of thought into the food they serve. Everything comes out tasty and there's a good variety of choices.

It's a small venue, so call ahead. Very intimate place, but it…

Toledo Lounge
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2435 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Laura T. writes: Toledo is my go-to place for low-key summer nights. I mean, it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit but, you know, I live in the area so I like going. It's chill and is never crowded. There's really little more relaxing than sitting outdoors…

The Wonderland Ballroom
Neighborhood: Columbia Heights

1101 Kenyon St NW
Washington, DC 20009

Degrees Bar & Lounge at the Ritz Carlton Georgetown
Neighborhood: Georgetown

3100 South St NW
Washington, DC 20007

Stef W. writes: No matter the weather, Degrees is a hot place to go! The bar is intimate and beautiful (brick wall, fireplace and modern, but comfortable, furniture). I've come here during the day and late at night, and have always been treated very well. Some…

DC9

1940 9th St NW
Washington, DC 20001

alexis g. writes: DC9's close proximity to the 9:30 Club make it a great place to go after the shows let out, but this two story bar also has its own live music. The jukebox is really good here, and there's a dance party-type event once a month called Tease. It's very…

Bedrock Billiards
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

1841 Columbia Road NW
Washington, DC 20009

Jim B. writes: Where to start, where to start... how about two shuffleboard tables, a slew of pool tables and dart boards, and a Nintendo Wii to round out the entertainment package.

Add to this a great selection of beers. Yes, there's no food, but it doesn't matter…

Iota Club & Cafe

2832 Wilson Blvd
Arlington, VA 22201

Rich L. writes: Iota is okay. It's not great. People rave about it for some reason, probably because they are in Arlington and they have a place they can go to where people don't talk about how "cool" they are because they are wearing so much "ice". Or it is that…

Habana Village
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

1834 Columbia Road, NW
Washington, DC 20009

Stef W. writes: Oh, Habana Village! I knew you when...

Back when you were just a small, one floor joint on Columbia Road. Back when you didn't have a real kitchen. Back when you didn't have all this great press, proclaiming that you alone brought salsa to DC!…

Atomic Billiards
Neighborhood: Cleveland Park

3427 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20008

Rich L. writes: I like Atomic Billiards as far as pool halls go. I like it because it is laid back without the Adams Morganish "I'm totally laid back check out how laid back I am seriously, I am also physically laying myself backwards to indicate my forced…

Recessions

1823 L St NW
# 1
Washington, DC 20036

Kori K. writes: So even I have those rare nights where I'm not all that interested in going out, nevertheless, going in the city, but if somebody says "Recessions" and grabbing my Smartcard and I'm out the door.

I am total disbelief that I haven't written about this…

DC Improv

1140 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC 20036

Kevin L. writes: I've now been to the Improv twice, and both were very different experiences.

The first time was with the boy for Russell Peters' show. What a riot! It was a hugely packed house with a rowdy crowd. I didn't realize that there's typically a two-drink…

Sweetwater Tavern

45980 Waterview Plaza
Sterling, VA 20166

Chang W. writes: Sweetwater Tavern is sandwiched in between a TGI Fridays and an Olive Garden in a strip mall just off of route 7. This had initially worried me b/c we had just driven 50 miles from MD to try this place out as per my friend's suggestion. "I will stab…

Mayorga Coffee Factory

8040 Georgia Ave
Silver Spring, MD 20910

MiRIAM w. writes: I'm pretty sweet on Mayorga. This 6,200 sq ft coffee lounge and roastery in Silver Spring, MD is every bit as spacious as it sounds. As soon as I walked inside, I liked it. There were plenty of tables and chairs and couches and *gasp* electrical…

Palace of Wonders
Neighborhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast

1210 H Street NE
Washington, DC 20002

Kathleen M. writes: I think one sign of an awesome bar is when your mom calls you on Sunday morning and nonchalantly says "so, what'd you do last night?" and you really don't know how to answer. I mean, saying something like "oh, I went to a bar and saw a guy eat fire…

Jammin Java

227 Maple Ave E
Vienna, VA 22180

Takaki K. writes: Went here to see Priscilla Ahn. She's amazing.

The venue is pretty cool even though it's in the same strip mall with Safeway. They have food/coffee/bar area near the front, and the back is ideal for a smaller concert with an intimate feel. I had…

The State Theatre

220 North Washington Street
Falls Church, VA 22046

Stef W. writes: I love music, but am not a huge "concert person." I might have gotten a bit spoiled by being in the first row of Poison back in 1989 :-p. Or, it might be that I'm just getting older and less tolerant of the crowds and noise of a large venue or the…

Matchbox
Neighborhood: Chinatown

713 H Street NW
Washington, DC 20001

Kevin L. writes: My posse planned to meet up with more classmates from college after our day of tourism in the city, and we promised to bring over some dinner. I had planned ahead by printing out the online menu for Matchbox, and armed with a suggestion by Richard…

L'Enfant Cafe & Bar

2000 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20007

Aaron H. writes: Two words: French Dip. Honestly I couldn't really tell you much else about this place, because if I'm there, I'm in my French Dip zone. It's not the world's best French Dip (that distinction, in my humble opinion, belongs to the Rutherford Grill in…

Rock N Roll Hotel

1353 H St NE
Washington, DC 20002

Matthew D. writes: If Pete Wentz and Andy Warhol had to pick a place to meet for drinks, no doubt they would choose Rock N Roll Hotel. As a Barney's-loving, Lexus-driving, Georgetown-living, Starbucks-sipping vision of all that is not hipster, I must admit, I had…

The Pug
Neighborhood: H Street Corridor/Atlas District/Near Northeast

1234 H Street NE
Washington, DC 20002

Sean G. writes: "Put away your credit card. We're grown-ups here. You'll pay when youre ready."

That was how I was greeted when I first went into The Pug.
Wait.
Back up.

Actually first I was offered a handshake and hello, and asked my name. It was then that I…

The Pour House
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill/Southeast

319 Pennsylvania Ave SE
Washington, DC 20003

Craig R. writes: Last night was a fun night. However, I'm finding it hard to dole out five stars to The Pour House. My gut reaction was four so I'm going to stick with it.

Our waiter was pretty cool and attentive until later in the night when it got busy due to…

Pharmacy Bar
Neighborhood: Adams Morgan

2337 18th St NW
Washington, DC 20009

alexis g. writes: The Pharmacy Bar has become one of the D.C. punk rock scene's most popular hangouts. You can go there pretty much any night of the week and see members of Darkest Hour, the Goons or Majority Rule tossing back a gimlet or two. The first time I went…
