One last suggestion 
The M&S Grille on 13th
It's only a block away from the hotel where Oz and Joh will be staying and it is close to metro stop as well. 
I'll shut-up now

Sounds good to me, but is it really any closer than the other place for you, Tazi? Also in that area is a fairly new/funky place called Ortanique. They have an upstairs lounge that overlooks the restaurant. The Lounge has its own bar and some couches and chairs IIRC.
