From a press release:

“When did the happy hour cocktail casually become $12. Then $14. Then $16. Gone are the days of the $5 cocktail and an affordable night out on the town. In this economy? Please. These days, it seems happy hours have lost their charm and going out comes at the casual cost of a mortgage – and Goodbar has decided they’re doing something about it by launching a Micro Happy Hour series across their restaurants. Short windows. Insane prices. Great food & drink. Even better vibes. Blink and you’ll miss it.

Goodbar Group has watched this city change over two decades, watched their neighborhoods shift, and watched the people who make D.C. what it is get priced out of what used to make it fun. And they’re done watching. “We’ve been through a lot together – the city, our regulars, our staff. There are ebbs and flows. Right now people are stretched thin and we have the ability to do something real about it, even if it’s just for a couple hours a day. So we are. Come in. Let us take care of you for a minute.” — Jackie, Co-owner.
