starfish Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 So, do the bars technically stay open 'til 3 a.m.? We gain an hour, don't forget... while bars are technically not allowed to stay open an extra hour - the timing goes by the "business day" - police generally look the other way because of the logical argument of it not yet being three am. however, every smart bar/nightclub owner that i know recognizes that nothing good can come in that last hour. more importantly the extra revenue is not worth the added risk.

Skysplitter Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I'll be at Buck's at around 5:30-6:00 How is HH at Bucks? It's right down the street from me, and yet I've never stopped in. Of course I'm never sure what restaurants would be ok with jeans and sneakers at the bar. (translate that as me wondering how shabby my jeans might be, heh.)

Do they even have a formal happy hour (which to my mind conjures up some kind of food or wine/drink specials)? Regardless, I'd be happy to meet up with fellow Rockwellians at Bucks for some libations any time (I just have to roll down Nebraska Ave to get home ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLK Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 No HH at Buck's that I know of, but a very welcoming bar (as you know). Like I said, some smaller offerings, more appetizers or similar, would make me go to Buck's more frequently and casually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Two free events tonight with real, live South African vignerons. Tasting from 6-9 PM of Louisvale and Vriesenhof wines (with the winemakers) at The Vineyard in McLean, and a free info session on the Washington Wine Academy Cork Club at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Crystal City, from 7-8. The Crystal City event will include tasting of BWC and Muratie wines (with BWC winemaker Cathy Marshall and Muratie owner Rijk Melck). RSVP is, I believe, required for the Crystal City event, but no charge. I will be at that event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganCircle Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 The meunu sounds incredible and the images of the restaurant quite seductive. Dinner could be a little pricey- but they do offer a "sunset menu" that is more reasonable for a midweek whim-That menu is offered between 5:30- 7. Anyone interested in joining me- let me know I'm game. I say we gather a small party and do the Sunset menu next week. From Oya's website: SUNSET MENU - $30 Monday - Saturday 5:30pm - 7:00pm FIRST, choice of: Warm Yellow Tomato Soup hamachi | soy Winter Green Salad winterberries | pear | lemon grass Edamame Risotto scallop | yellow tomato ENTREE, choice of: Loin of Lamb fennel pureé | mélange vegetable parisienne | coffee cardamom Scallops pad tai noodles | hen of the woods Salmon black beans | glass noodles | baby bok choy SWEET, choice of: Apple and Rice Pudding granny smith sorbet Meringue Island banana milk shake | caramel passion fruit sauce Mango Square puff pastry | lemon crème | spiced mango mango lime sorbet Poached Pear vanilla ice cream | chocolate sauce Fresh Seasonal Fruit Plate crème fraiche Ice Cream or Sorbet flavors of the day Menu subject to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
