The Pour House might be a better bet -- the Caps playoff game starts at the Verizon Center at 3:00 pm on Saturday and could be over by 6:00 pm, in which case forget about trying to find a place to sit at RFD. Also, parking, for those coming in from the 'burbs (Metro is so unreliable on weekends anymore, it's a fair bet that most non-DC residents with cars will prefer to drive), would be well nigh impossible.
Based on interest so far, we may be a group of about 6 or so, so size of the venue may not be that much of a concern.
Any other suggestions? Who else might be joining us?
I'll consider this a tentative event for now, but hopefully can confirm it by Thursday.
