beachgirl54 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Dear friend in from out of town - dinner is at Zaytinia with others but we've got the opportunity to meet for a drink beforehand - and talk incessantly. I am tragically unhip these days so I welcome your suggestions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deac Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You could see if barmini has a reservation available. Great drinks, fun atmosphere, and you'll definitely be able to easily talk with one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRiv18 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I feel these are all great options, just breaking them down by atmosphere: Super casual: Baby Wale Casual to Hipster: Daikaya Izakaya Fancy but comfortable: Kinship bar Let's give Dear Friend some DC bragging rights: barmini or Columbia Room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachgirl54 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks - think we'll hit Kinship - Columbia Room looked great but not open on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Slater Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Penn 6 has an enormous bar. Sunday is usually quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyfood Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I don't much like the drinks at the kinship bar. Id recommend the Dabney for good cocktails in a more relaxed environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id recommend the Dabney for good cocktails in a more relaxed environment It isn't that I don't like the drinks at the Kinship bar; it's that I don't like the Kinship bar for drinking - it's really a place to eat, or wait for your table (I suspect the owners are cringing at me saying that because it isn't full all the time, but it's really a very quiet, serious place).

beachgirl54 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 My friend chose Kinship and we had wine - nice ones (a rose for me and I forgot what white she had). It was quite, bartender was unobtrusive and we talked easily. Thanks for all the recs! I look forward to eating there soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
