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.
ReplyDeletei 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?
ReplyDelete$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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteHow is $8.75 per drink not too expensive?
ReplyDeleteBecause 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.
ReplyDelete@Gagisti - Is that Shiner on draft?
