Welcome all to the new 2011 DC Metro Area Happy Hour Thread!
Our Happy Hours aren't necessarily restricted to just Happy Hours - they can, and usually do, include lunch or dinner.
One handy tip: Do go to an ATM and carry cash with you - its always easier to settle a bill if everyone has cash - rather than having 10 credit cards on the table. And we can let the host/hostess (organizer) use a credit card if they prefer.
---------------------------------------------------------------
We do not have any currently scheduled events. The winter edition of DC Restaurant Week will occur from January 9 through January 15. If you're interested in making a reservation during that time period, please post to the thread; I suspect several of our members would be interested in joining you.
We welcome all suggestions on locations, dates and times. We do make an effort to spread things out geographically, recognizing the dining diversity in the DC region. Generally, we try to have an event every four to six weeks.
Out-of-town visitors are welcome at all of our events and are encouraged to post to the thread when they'll be in the DC area. We often try to schedule Happy Hours for dates when we know that visitors will be in town.
