Party Earth Review A favorite of budget-minded staffers and football-loving college kids, Capitol Lounge lies in the middle between the raucous insanity of Adams Morgan and the trendy offerings in nearby Dupont Circle. Three bars keep the joint’s fifty-plus beers close at hand – from bare-bones domestics to craft imports – while the grub ... more

Party Earth Review Situated just two blocks from the White House and guarded by a saluting five-foot Native American statue, Shelly’s Back Room is one of only a handful of DC establishments where folks can still get together for an indoor smoke without suffering the evil eye from suburban yoga moms and soy milk-drinking herbivores.

Party Earth Review Young revelers pining for a hopping piano bar, expansive patio, or a simple American menu that won’t break the bank won’t do better in this neck of DC than Mr. Smith’s of Georgetown.

Party Earth Review It’s a never-ending battle of donkeys vs. elephants in the District of Columbia, but Off the Record, a chic lounge in the basement of the historic Hay-Adams hotel, brings both parties together for a cordial cocktail after an exhausting day of work. Located a block from the White House, this venue’s name is no accident ... more

Party Earth Review Just west of the city of Arlington, and less than two miles south of the heart of Washington, DC, the glorified lawn that makes up Gravelly Point Park might not seem like a worthwhile destination – until the vigorous roar of a 747 explodes overhead. Built within spitting distance of Reagan National Airport, the park is ... more
