Best days for Best Happy Hour in Washington DC

Map My Location
Town Hall
2218 Wisconsin Ave NW Washington DC, DC 20007
(202) 333-5640
If you're going to pre-drink at a bar and not at a house, pre-drink here....particularly on Fridays (and Saturdays too). Sunday afternoons are comfortable and pleasant at Town Hall as well--I mean, it's not rocking like its peak nights, but there is a good crowd and are plenty of plasmas with your game on...and great bar food. However, you are probably going to run into a Colts fan who loves them because they won with his girlfriend wearing a pink Manning shirt. Ignore them. By the way, remember when we lived on the Hill and went to Bully's, the Coast and the Lounge? Ha! Those were the days. Pass the guacamole. Open Weekdays 5pm-10:30pm; Sat 11:30am-11pm
701
701 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC, DC 20004
(202) 393-0701
This is your typical DC work crowd, all loosening their ties and purses to enjoy bitching about their jobs. Their bosses suck. After a long day of watching you tube and im'ing your friends, you might as well have a classy happy hour before showing the world your degenerate true self. Remember the name by recalling your combined SAT score. Open Mon-Thu 5:30pm-10:30pm; Sat 5pm-11:30pm; Sun 5:30pm-9:30pm
Off The Record
800 16th St NW Washington DC, DC 20006
(202) 942-7599
Below the Hay Adams hotel lies this seedy, classy liquor hole...you know, the kind with red leather and bowls of wasabi nuts. Just 100 yards from the White House, you know stuff is going down here, so stop by after work. Open Weekdays 11:30am-11pm; Weekends 5:30pm-10pm
Sonoma
223 Pennsylvania Ave SE Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 544-8088
On the Hill, there are plenty of places to get drunk, but few know that the second floor of Sonoma on Fridays is a great bar to get the evening started. By late evening, there is a crowd here that is worth joining. Open Weekdays 11am-3pm, 4:30pm-10pm; Sat 10:30am-2pm, 4:30pm-10pm; Sun 10:30am-2pm, 5:30pm-10pm
Bullfeathers of Capitol Hill
410 1st St SE # 1 Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 488-7160
Between the ages of 23 and 24, some folks grow too old for the Coast or the Lounge and prefer to spend their 25, 26 and 27 years sitting at Bully's drinking enough to where they can later head to the Lounge and act as if it was a drunken excursion for memories sake......kids. Open Weekdays 10am-10:30pm; Sat 11am-10pm; Sun 10:30am-10pm
Capitol Lounge
229 Pennsylvania Ave SE Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 547-2098
Tuesday night is its finest - a universal truth. The lure of Tuesdays is 10-cent wings, but it has grown to be more of a meat market, with wings being a handy excuse. However, Thursday is strong and Wednesday is overlooked, for more manageable, chatty crowds. Also, hunting at closing time on any night usually renders results. Cap Lounge has burnt down twice but recovered nicely, so head on over and talk politics, even though the sign says 'no politics'. Go hit on a Hill staffer and learn all about how they wrote a press release or an amendment or something. That masters degree was worth it! Open Mon 2:30pm-2am; Tue-Thu 3pm-2am; Fri-Sat 10am-3am; Sun 10am-midnight
