Description:
GEORGETOWN. This renovated grill and wine bar has gained added charm with buffed hardwood floors and upholstered furniture. Its primary draw is wine tastings, which happen each Thursday from 6pm to 7:30pm. Aficionados gather to sample intriguing vintages and to dine well. Ingredients are all organic and fresh, including field-raised meats, naturally grown produce, and wild, not farmed, fish. A California sensibility accents the inherent flavors of these fresh goods. Try broiled bluepoint oyster appetizers, white fish, wine-braised octopus, or vegetable ragout. |

The rustic Western decor, friendly staff, and tasty dining options make this an all-around winner for a night of relaxation or revelry. |

Description:
DUPONT CIRCLE. One of the more seductive nightspots in the Dupont district, Twelve-Twenty-Three is a modern temple to all things beautiful and opulent. The discriminating door policy and inflated prices (yes, those are Roman numerals on the menu) ensure a certain caliber of clientele. On the first level is a soapstone bar flanked by velvet couches and a small dance floor; the second-floor lounge capitalizes on great views of Connecticut Avenue. Seeking a more exclusive brand of cool, high-rollers reserve a table or bed on the chic VIP level, called Spank, where the crowd tends to be model-quality and the staff at the white onyx bar serves up premium mixed drinks.

Description:
GEORGETOWN. Old Glory is known for generous portions of pulled pork, beef, and chicken served to appreciative crowds. Folks not only enjoy the main course, but they relish being able to choose a favorite sauce for added kick – whether it obeys traditions of TN, NC, SC, or TX. Locals also agree that side dishes (creamy mashed potatoes, collards, and succotash, for example) are just about as tasty as the barbecue. The place also offers approximately 80 types of bourbon, a strong draw in itself. |

Description:
GEORGETOWN. This bar-restaurant has been an area institution since 1969. Attracting business types and college students alike, it has universal appeal.

Meat loaf and burgers are enough to satisfy traditional appetites, but more elaborate entrees, including rack of lamb, are available too. On weekends, enjoy after-dinner dancing, and look to the bar anytime for well-mixed drinks. |

Description:
GEORGETOWN. A fun place for dinner or socializing, this character-filled saloon is a throw-back to the good old days. Its Victorian decor, including the elaborate mahogany bar, is stately but relaxed and offers patrons a terrific place to hang out, nurse a drink, and chat with friends. The handcrafted beers and Bloody Marys are particular favorites, and the raw bar offers freshly-shucked oysters to eager onlookers. Large groups often choose this venue for parties and celebrations because of the great ambience and beautiful decor. A well-attended happy hour and late hours in general give J. Paul's added appeal. The huge selection of Scotch doesn't hurt either. |
