Emma succinctly asks: “Best sports bars in DC?”
Where are your favorites these days? For which particular sports?
From our friends in Shaw (1537 7th Street, NW):
“Ivy and Coney, the preferred dive bar of 4 out of 5 shickers, is elated to celebrate Hanukkah with all of you again! Beginning Friday, December 1st through the end of the month, the Manischewitz shall flow, the dreidels shall spin, and fun will be had by most. The really fun part with fire gets going the evening of the 7th and continues on every night until the 14th. Yes, there will be presents.
As always, we’ll be donating all proceeds from the sale of kosher wine to HIAS for their work helping refugees across the globe. We hope everyone will join us in throwing down some serious gelt to support this vital cause.
To properly honor the least important holiday on the calendar, one where you both get to play with fire and drink dubiously colored wine, we’ve got delicious latkes, sufgani-shots (jelly donuts in shot form), and Manischewitz. Latkes, arguably the most important culinary creation since unleavened bread, will feature prominently as a reminder of the oil used to light the menorah, and the fact that fried foods truly are the tastiest. Each night we will be lighting the Hanukiyah at approximately 7:00 PM (December 7th through December 14th) and invite our guests to participate. Who knows, you may even find a present in your hands at the end of the night.
Most importantly, (more…)

Today’s question was inspired but this psa from Meg:
“I’ve tracked down a local rockstar bartender and thought you may be interested. His name, Walter, comes up when The Heights is mentioned (RIP), like in this post of yours. He started at The Heights, then went to Le Dip, then Rake’s Progress at The Line Hotel, then Columbia Room (!!!) and then was lost to the pandemic. Well, he is back behind the bar at a local place that just opened in Takoma Park called Koma! I’m so excited! I know from the past that he had lots of regulars at his spots and I certainly followed him to new bars, so maybe others will be interested that he is back as well.”
So besides Walter, who’s your favorite bartender and where do they work these days?
