Intern friendly bars / restaurants

Anonymous
Any younger DCUMers with recent experience for inexpensive bars/restaurants in DC where college-aged interns hang out? A family friend is looking for recommendations for their kid and I am so far removed from that scene. Places with generous HH or weekday specials would be great; parents are on a budget and the kid is on an unpaid internship.

Not sure, but it'd be healthier and potentially cheaper to have them hang out with a kickball or pickleball team. Then the other players can direct them to the good happy hours!

Succotash, Rayku, Zatinya, Bar Charley, The Smith, El CHuco, COlada SHop.... you can't swing a cat without hitting a happy hour in DC and most have food specials

These aren't intern bars.

Tune Inn on Capitol Hill is still there ... Tortilla Coast closed (that was a classic for interns)

These are for an older crowd.

I would be appalled if I were in college and my mommy's friend was trying to find me a bar I could hang out at. 🤦🏻‍♀️ What has parenting become y'all? This is not normal. Or good.

Yes, was about to post the same thing. I get it if mommy wants a rec for a real estate agent to help her kid find an apartment, but “cool intern bars” is too much. Let adult children find their own bars.

Is the Mad Hatter still around? That was the intern spot circa 1999.

It’s a cover to cougar. Hunting grounds might be better at first job, not intern, and that means the Orange Line corridor.
