Bart Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 This is very short notice, but I figured I'd give it a shot. My wife and I have to be at Washington-Lee High school tonight at 7 pm and were looking to kill some time after work somewhere between there and Crystal CIty/Pentagon City. The school right off 66 near Wilson Blvd and N Quincy St. We'll be traveling through or near Rosslyn, Clarendon, Colonial Village, Lyon Village, and Virginia Square. I'm not very familiar with this area and the Dinning Guide / Restaurant Guide has A LOT of options! Does any place stand out as a good place to get a couple apps and a drink? Thanks!

Don't forget it's Friday, and the places in the Courthouse-Clarendon corridor become very crowded. I vote the bar at Water & Wall, on the condition that you have to report in afterwards.

Bart Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks Don! Yeah, the parking/crowd issue could be deal breaker for a lot of these places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laniloa Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If you don't mind paying for parking, you can park in the pay Market Common lot and go to the Cava happy hour. I'm fond of the pork gyro and eggplant dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lperry Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 There's free parking for Jaleo in Crystal City. Tapas and sangria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks laniloa, sounds intersting. Iperry - Crystal City is pretty much starting point of the trip and I was looking for something a little further out, but I do love Jaleo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 My work colleagues love Cava. Its a regular happy hour stop for them. They swore by it. (I'm not a happy hour kind of dude anymore so have nothing to suggest....but that has been their fave) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 We ended up picking Water and Wall because of Don's recommendation and the fact that it was only a half a mile from our final destination: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Willow is super close too, you could even park at W&L and walk if the weather isn't too bad. I haven't been to Water and Wall yet, but I bet it would be great too. Lyon Hall has a really good happy hour, but it can be hard to find parking around there.
