Best Happy Hour in Washington DC

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
Capital Grille
601 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington DC, DC 20004
(202) 737-6200
Instead of worrying about how bad your job is, come to Cap Grille and try and find a new one. It's all networking and creepy old men on Mondays...
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
Cafe Milano
3251 Prospect St NW # 13 Washington DC, DC 20007
(202) 333-6183
Café Milano is the source of many legends. Whether it is a chance encounter with a celebrity (Heellllooo Bo Derek!) or a sneaky encounter with a mature woman or gentleman, elected or not, this place delivers on scene. Smoke that 'non-Cuban' cigar on the patio with friends, sip wine with celebs or pound martinis with your friends - this is a great happy hour (if happy hour lasted until close). So, if everyone who is anyone loves it, and the staff treat you like a rock star, even if you are not, doesn’t that mean this place is the best? We love Café Milano and we’re not afraid to tell everyone. Open Mon-Tue 11:30am-1am; Wed-Sat 11:30am-2am; Sun 11:30am-11pm
Bistro Bis
15 E St NW Washington DC, DC 20001
(202) 661-2700
This is where 30-somethings gather to tell stories of years past at Cap Lounge. Now they have enough money for $10 chicken wings and don't want to dirty their tailored suits at the Lounge. And you know what? God bless 'em. Open Weekdays 7am-11am, 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm; Sat 7am-10:30am, 11:30am-2:30pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm
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
Tortilla Coast
400 1st St Se Washington DC, DC 20003
(202) 546-6768
Another Hill location famous for its crowd more than its food or drinks. But they have good nightly drink specials throughout the week and plenty of young hill staffers. See you at the Coast. Open Mon-Thu 11:30am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11:30am-11pm
