  1. Hey there Rovers2000. Sorry to say that I am still on vacation with the newborn. None the less, if you would like, you can send me a message and help you with the wine list that way. However, Joseph is now working with me on the wine list and his palette and knowledge are unmatched. He truly is talented and has been with us at Proof since day 1 (our first hire ever actually), thus I would entrust him completely. Have fun!

  2. For the record, here at Proof we offer deeply discounted select bottles each night for happy hour, as well we do the wine box grab bag which is 35$ for white and 45$ for red, what ya get is what ya get but there are no slouches. We also discount some of our high end beer list for happy hour, for example the 750 of jolly pumpkin calabaza de Noel which we usually sell for 30 is down to 20. Holler.

    Whoops, just read the above posts. The wine box grab bag is available in the dining room, just ask.

  3. Proof restaurant and the soon to open Spanish influenced Estadio are seeking talented, experienced sous chefs, line cooks and garde mangers. If interested, please contact Chef Haidar Karoum at haidar@proofdc.com

  4. I rarely respond to much on here but now I must. For those of you who don't know Jim, you are missing out. He is of another time, another place. Being in that bar with Jim is a worm hole in to DC past. Indulge and sit amongst the once was, a great Brandy Alexander, screw that, all the old drinks there are great. It is truly time travel, when "the bar keep was keeping you king, pouring drinks". Jim is one of the old dukers, someone we are lucky to have in this town, and he may be the last. Shit, he doesn't even know me, but I know him, always will. Go get pissed and get in a political fight.

  5. Just wanted to explain why the cost of that particular beer is so high. Oskar Blues released it after 5 years of being in production and was done as a celebratory kinda thing. It's a seasonal stout and is released at most every 8 months or so. The alchohol content is running at 10.5 hence the name. While I realize 10 bucks is a lot for a beer, the 1/6 sized keg which we were allocated is about twice the cost of your average 1/6 keg. One other thing, if the beer you had was served in a pilsner glass then your beer was around 14oz, give or take room for the head. Hope this helps

  6. To comment on Proof and the wine pairing. We hardly if ever use wine that is on our wines by the glass program, even though we serve a wide variety of interesting things. Depending on the wine and its age it will be decanted at the beginning of the evening. If not all of it is used I will try to sell a few glasses, more often than not, drink it! As for the pours, our servers hand pour two ounces with each course, presenting each bottle, I often do this, and pour into tasting glasses as to not overserve. I think we do a class job, but maybe I am biased.

  7. Bottle: Floris Whit Blanche, Hedonism Red ale (double ipa), Egginberg Pils, Hitachino Red rice and Ginger Brew, Orval Trappist, Kasteel cherry, Delerium Tremens (only for 1/2 and 1/2 Pink elephant)

    Keg: La Chouffe, Weyerbacher Merry Monks ale, Old Chub Scottish ale, and Kostrizer Schwarzbier.

    Be aware the kegs change ALL THE TIME~~~ I can only carry 1/6th kegs, so I gotta keep changin. The bottles are pretty steady, Ill be changing them soon enough for the comming winter. Oh YEAH, I just got Gouden Carolous Noel.

    K, there it is.
