Party Earth Review A classic below-ground bar, The Bottom Line draws guests in with regular specials, sports on the TVs, and a vibe that’s as unpretentious as the Miller is cold. Past the roped-off and covered street-side patio, tired suits and not-yet-weary interns proceed down a short flight of stairs and into a single room ... more

Party Earth Review Though The Front Page may not win any culinary awards, its Happy Hour has been the stuff of legends since the place opened in 1987. Daytime sees the expansive venue playing host to throngs of policy wonks and stressed-out staffers who stop in to watch CNN or catch a game on the dozen TVs, while tourists take to the large ... more

Party Earth Review As if the name Madhatter weren’t enough, the big eponymous figure of the character from Alice in Wonderland in the front window is about as subtle as a caterpillar smoking a hookah. True, no potion has to be drunk to get through the door, but the blotto college kids and preppy young professionals flooding the bar during ... more

Party Earth Review A cavernous cornerstone of the Adams Morgan barhopping scene, GrandCentral welcomes a rowdy crowd of sports fans, booty shakers, and cover charge haters. The barrel-vaulted ceilings modeled after its namesake New York train station provide the venue with a motif, continued by the painted stone patterns featured on all three ... more

Party Earth Review Whether stopping in for the jambalaya ‘n’ grits or a Bloody Mary made with pickled okra, hungry diners are guaranteed to taste the flavors of New Orleans at Bayou – where they’re equally assured of hearing live jazz or rock emanating from the upstairs stage. Due to its proximity to both George Washington University and ... more

Party Earth Review A tiny red neon sign and the occasional hardened face of a kid who took his Skeeball match too seriously are the only hints of what lies behind the door to Rocket Bar, a subterranean adult fun-land that might be mistaken for a child’s bedroom were it not for the unmistakable smell of beer. Lime green stairs lead groups ... more

Party Earth Review A block from the Verizon Center sports complex, Iron Horse Taproom offers craft beers, Skeeball, a healthy bourbon selection, and lots of motorcycle décor with nary a grizzled biker in sight. The motorbike theme inside is straight vintage, with 60s-era Nortons and Triumphs hanging in the main bar area, along ... more

Party Earth Review Although 19th has a subtle golf theme, this cozy neighborhood bar doesn’t discriminate when it comes to sports – and its décor suggests that drinking games are a better team activity anyway. Vintage alcohol signs take up much of the turf-green walls, commingling with placards bearing tried-and-true axioms like, “Beauty ... more

Party Earth Review A cavernous upscale temple to its namesake drink, Dirty Martini is popular for everything from a midweek working lunch – liquid or otherwise – to a post-work pre-party, to a classy after-hours soiree. Exposed white brick, sleek hardwood, and modern Italian furniture provide a classy backdrop for the foreign policy bigwigs ... more
