Does the restaurant have any interesting beers on the menu? Or is it your typical Italian restaurant swill like Peroni, Moretti, etc...

Sorry if it seems like I was pointing out Proof exclusively because that is not what I meant. In D.C. in general prices for beer are much higher than any large city I've been too recently, including New York, Chicago, and LA. Walk a few blocks to Beck's and I don't think they serve any beer for less then $10, except for the miller lite esque Bavik. I paid $5 for the Ten Fidy in Baltimore just last week. Just had to vent a little, I like that good beer is starting to show up in a lot of places around town, I just don't like that is emerging the way of the $20 mini kobe burger slider on 9 grain foccica bread imported from France.

Last night at Proof $10 for a 10 oz pour of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy. What's with the prices for good beer in this city?

How is the beer selection at Proof? Anyone have any insight. Thanks

This is most definately a great place and by far the best place in D.C.. However if we are talking within 50 miles, there are are at least 3-4 places in Baltimore, that this place could not hold a candle to. Have you been to Max's on Broadway, Brewer's Art, Mahaffey's, Wharf Rat, etc.. I agree that DA's places are both really subpar establishments, but D.C. is just not a very good beer town.

I spoke with a very high ranking executive of the company that is developing the watergate condos a few nights ago and they are in negotiations to bring in a world class chef and new restaurant to the development. Take that for what it is worth, but there is some truth to the rumor.
