cjsadler Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Tell me more about this, if you don't mind....... (subject A places his arm out to be twisted.) Every Tues, from 6-11. Half-price on all Belgian beers (they usually have about 6 different ones), downstairs in the basement/fake cavern (complete with fake stalagmites). Should be nice and cool down there. My father has some record that's "Bob Jablonski (or whatever forgotten jazz guy it is) Live at the Bohemian Caverns, 1959" and the cover of the record shows the cavern looking pretty much like it does today.

Thank you. I will present the idea to "She Who Suggested We Go To BDC After Work Today." I suspect that with the high ceiling and glass front at BDC, it won't be too cool in there.When done with beers, there's a great $10.50 pork chop platter across the street, too!

squidsdc Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Tuesdays at Bohemian CavernsI've been to this at least one Tuesday of my life. It's a nice surprise if you can get there without sweating too much. The new metro "circulator" crosstown bus may be of some help in getting one to a closer metro, as the Cavern is on the Green Line---and it's only $1.

hillvalley Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Last week at Corduroy we came up with a solution to the how do new people find the DR.com'ers at Happy Hours problem. From now on a "regular" will let the host/bar tender/manager know that we are there and they should send anyone who asks for the DonRockwell group our way. That will keep people from having to toast to Don every half hour and allow new people a somewhat discrete way to figure out which group of winos they are looking for. If a Happy Hour occurs at Firefly or Corduroy, where we are well known and usually liked, please do not hesitate to ask for the manager to point you in the right direction. Hopefully this will make it easier for new people to find us. Everyone is always welcome. Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions.

I still like the idea of a secret handshake or some kind of high sign we could periodically emit -- something like pulling twice on our ear lobe or stroking our chin ostentatiously or touching the tip of our nose with the tip of our tongue...

MelGold Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) For all you beer lovers out there who are willing to cross the river into Old Town, tonight is Firkin Thursday at Vermilion. Long and short: During tonight's happy hour we are featuring a firkin of Dogfish Head's 90 Min India Pale Ale - described to me as extremely hoppy with a slight sweetness and smooth finish. I can't wait to pull a pint at 6 PM. Chef Beard is offering up two specials on the lounge menu to pair - beer battered fish "sticks" with chipotle coleslaw & a soft pretzel with spicy mustard. Tapping is at 6PM so I'll be there around then - PM me if you're coming. Cheers! Edited July 28, 2005 by MelGold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnb Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I previously posted this on the TemptAsian thread but it was probably mostly missed, so I'll do it here too. Anyway, several of us are meeting at Temptasian every Tuesday lunchtime (12:30) until Labor Day to work our way through the Chinese menu. If you're interested and would like to join us you're very welcome. The only rule is we mostly are ordering things we haven't tried previously. Last week 10 showed and early indications are we will have that many again (with luck). The restaurant is the new venue of Peter Chang, previously the head chef at the acclaimed China Star. No need to e-mail---just show up. The restaurant is on Little River Turnpike immediately west of 395, south side of LRT behind the Exxon station. No public transportation so it's drive only.

Heather Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) This is not entirely on topic, but I have two tickets for the Dodgers-Nationals game tonight (baseline box) I'm not using and would be happy to get rid of if anyone is interested. I am going, so would be happy to meet whoever wants them at RFK to hand them over. So (more on topic) if you've been looking for an excuse to try Sonoma or Belga this might be a opportunity to have a nice meal on the way to the ball game. Of course, if any DR.com folks are already going to be there I'd be happy to meet up at RFK for a beer before or during the game. And, I might be willing to go somewhere after the game - or even leave early if the Dodgers are getting spanked - to drown my sorrows. Probably BdC since it is a.) open late and b.) close to Metro.
