Seriously, check out this snippet from a recent Washington Post chat:
Biergarten: Are you excited about the forthcoming German Beer Garden on H Street, or will this immediately turn into an outdoor frat party?
Tom Sietsema: Funny. I strolled by there just lat night. The space looks very impressive.
I'm digging what's going on in the Atlas District these days. I lost track of the number of places I'm eager to check out.
Hot Tip Du Jour: My fave new bar is a place called Toyland on H St. NE. It's not very big, but it brims with early-60s charm and the clientele is refreshingly mixed: bikers, thirtysomethings, groups of ladies, gay guys, blacks, whites, Asians ... Plus, the drinks are GREAT and not too expensive. Four of us popped in not long ago and got a round of fun for $35. Go, go, go (but not all at once, please.)

never answered the question about the outdoor frat party part.
i sure hope not. maybe we should require lederhosen for guys, dirndls for the ladies. i have a couple extra pairs of lederhosen if anyone needs to borrow :)
How is $8.75 per drink not too expensive?
$8.75 isn't bad for DC if you are getting cocktails. We went to Toyland last Thursday and also enjoyed it. They have a good happy hour from 5-7 (I believe) with $3 Shiner Bocks and Yuengling, so if you are looking for drinks cheaper than $9 there are some options. Their fried pickles were really good too and definitely want to try the burger next time.
If you're drinking top shelf and including tax and tip, $8.75 is a steal. Even if it's only two out of those three, it's still inexpensive, and if only one out of those three, it's still pretty reasonable.

Because most places charge $12-15.
Excellent beer list at Toyland as well. Was there last night and the place was full which was very impressive for a random Wed. night.
@Gagisti - Is that Shiner on draft?
