Unfortunately Temperance Hall doesn’t have HBO so they will not be able to show the Sopranos Sunday evening. The good news is that they have a phenomenal back deck that should be taken advantage of with this great weather we’ve been having.

I have to say Temperance Hall continues to impress. Last Sunday they had Uefa Cup coverage on the tv and tonight they had the Rangers game. Fantastic. A great place to have a grilled cheese, listen to drive by truckers and watch some sports.

Wonderland Ballroom’s outdoor lounge area is among the coolest in the city by far. Makes you want to down a pint doesn’t it?

It is very rare that Fox 5 news and I are on the same wavelength but today we were. After a long day of golf I wanted to put some pictures up of Temperance Hall. Well, I learned that Fox 5 had just preceded me. Unfortunately the light was streaming in the windows so I couldn’t really get good pictures. But what I can say, without reservation, is that Temperance Hall is the greatest bar in Washington, DC! Now, I say this for a few reasons. First of all, if you are a Petworth resident, it is like going to your living room. Most of the patrons are Petworth residents and there is just a really chill vibe in the air. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly to me, the bartender Sott had played a couple of Drive By Truckers songs. That in and of itself is worthy of a hight rating. Also I had a grilled cheese sandwhich with mustard, tomato and french fries for $5 which was fantastic! But honestly as you can see in the picture there is a pool table, chandeliers, stained glass, and really really good people and food. What more could you ask for?

I just got finished interviewing Muriel Bowser at Domku please stay tuned for the full report tomorrow. But I just had to add that Domku not only has terrific borsht but it arguably has the greatest music selection of any restaurant I’ve ever been too. They play an eclectic mix of blues, jazz, indie, and world music which I gotta say is absolutely fantastic. So, I’m happy to report that the place is packed and the music is great. If anyone went to Wonderland’s brunch please write in and let us know how it was. While Domku plays the greatest music I’d say Wonderland has the greatest jukebox…
The wonderful Wonderland bar in Columbia Heights is now offering brunch from “10ish to 4ish” according to the Brightestyoungthings blog. All you can eat bacon plus egg sandwiches and pupusas. Might be worth checking out but let us not forsake Temperance hall and Domku!
