Outting: Ice Bar

From City Shop Girl:


The Donovan House hotel at Thomas Circle will transform its exclusive rooftop pool bar the ADC (AboveDC) into a cold weather oasis with a new Winter Ice Bar. Starting this weekend through February, on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5-10, you can warm up at one of the outdoor fire pits and enjoy vodka cocktails and other winter specialties like a drunken spiced cocoa and mulled wine all served from a hand-carved ice bar while overlooking DC. Cocktails range from $8-12. Make sure to bundle up!
The Donovan House
1155 14th Street 
Washington, DC 20005


We're going tonight to Ice Bar around 8 if you're interested in checking it out with us!

February Bar Crawl: U Street, Friday Feb. 4th

The time has come!

A couple months ago, we got to join in a great pub crawl all over Dupont. It was an EPIC night. So now, we'd like to invite you to help us do the same and explore the city at the same time. Every month, we'll announce the next bar crawl with time/date/location. For now, you can assume it will be the first weekend of every month, likely on a Saturday.

Our inaugural bar crawl:
U Street Corridor
Friday, February 4
7:30 - Onward

Taking into consideration that the first weekend of February houses Super Bowl Sunday (and no one wants to be hungover for that), we'll be having this bar crawl on a Friday night.

Bar 1: Solly's Tavern 7:30 - 9:00
1942 11st Street (11th and U)
