NotQuickDraw Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) I am looking for locations for a group of women colleagues to meet monthly for happy hour on Thursdays. At least half of us also eat dinner, so a restaurant is OK, though we often linger from 5pm to almost 9 sometimes. The group size varies from 4 to 8 people, arriving staggered. Fancy is not required, although a nice Pinot Grigio by the glass for miss picky (not me!) would help. Low-ish cost and/or specials would be nice, as well as some low-fat options for our Couture set. Any suggestions? TIA Colleen BTW - AGM is my other half! You can tell because we have the same dog!

Sthitch Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ceiba might be a good choice, they have great drinks at reasonable cost. But I have no idea about the Pinot Grigio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 The lounge area at Firefly would probably suit your needs. Good by the glass wine selection and great bill of fare for those who sitck around to dine. Ditto for Corduory. But then again, you are more likely to run into roving packs of Rockeweillers at these establishments. So, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Icebox Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Circle Bistro would fit your needs perfectly, and their happy hour runs til 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenticket Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I haven't actually sat down and had a drink there, but the upstairs lounge at Sonoma looks very nice. The one time I poked my head in it was pretty quiet, but I would bet that is no longer the case. And if you decide to dine downstairs, the menu is very reasonably priced (IMO) and seasonal. Tallula is another option, especially if you can snag one of the larger tables. The bite-size "amuse yourself" menu is inexpensive and you have the option of half pours from the extensive wine list.

NotQuickDraw Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Thanks so much for the great suggestions. So far, I think we're leaning toward Circle Bistro. We may just try all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunnyJohn Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) All of the above suggestions are good ones, but if you are looking outsided of the District -- Arlington perhaps -- Harry's Tap room has a happening happy hour and there are tables in front of the fireplace in the bar area. The happy hour deal (between 4-6 pm) consists of several menu items that can be had for $3, including the ubiquitous bar-sized cheese burger. Wine list has numerous selections by the glass, including pinot grigio. Edited January 13, 2006 by FunnyJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
