The weekend is an excellent listener.
On Dickson’s new patio, you’ll find brick, concrete and flowers. Also: happy hour deals every day like $6 jars of sangria and $5 wines and beers. Oh, and should you get a happy hour thunderstorm: it’s covered. Consider it a summer insurance policy.
Maybe you’ve heard about the amazing Pretzel Bakery on the Hill. And maybe you can’t get over there during their daytime business hours. Here to help: gin. Or specifically, the gin-centric cocktail bar at Wisdom, now selling the same pretzels every night. Yes, they’ll probably make you thirsty.
You remember the Gryphon, the short-lived sports bar below Dupont. Or maybe you don’t, given the short-lived thing. Well, they’ve retooled a bit. Out: basketball and wings. In: five kinds of oysters, a lobster cocktail and five kinds of dry-aged steaks for two. And chili cheese fries. Just kidding.
A private room. Beanbag chairs. Bottomless popcorn and beer buckets. Sounds like a great spot to catch up on your favorite shows. And that’s the idea. The Hotel Rouge is turning its event spaces into “binge-watching” spaces. Don’t forget to drink for every Roger Sterling one-liner.
Sunday afternoon. You probably don’t want to cook. And you probably want to hang out on another patio. Enter Cashion’s, which is rolling out five sandwiches—bison burger, lamb barbacoa, shrimp/scallop burger and sloppy joe—along with potatoes and a shandy for $15. Nice work, Cashion’s.
