I get laid plenty. Come to a brewery out in U st and you’ll see the hot nonprofit girlies throw themselves at my feet after I start spewing Georgist and urbanism facts

They pretend to listen because they think you’ll buy them a drink. They leave when you don’t…because you’re poor.

This is one of the saddest exchanges I've ever seen on DCUM and that's saying a lot.

I'm also pretty sure it's not even really an "exchange" since it reeks of PP replying to themselves trying to parody the "incel density bro" that only exists in their weird imagination as evidenced by the fact that only a suburban/exurban troll too terrified to actually come into DC wouldn't know that there are no breweries on U St.

Right Proper is on T Street in a neighborhood casually referred to as U Street.

You're missing the point, which is that anyone who actually knows anything about DC breweries knows that NE is DC's epicenter of brewing and would never use U St as the go-to example of where breweries are, especially when the PP said "come to a brewery on U St" implying that U St. was a known location for multiple breweries.

It would be like trying to prove you're a NOVA Korean-American by saying "Come to a KBBQ place in Arlington." Like, sure, Arlington probably has a KBBQ spot, but if you were actually Korean you'd know to say "Annandale."

I know what you mean (I went to city state a couple times) but going to NE is like going to a 3rd world country. I don’t like to see poverty when I’m enjoying a brew. I mean this as respectfully as possible.

"as respectfully as possible" hahahaha

The only thing you see from the tasting room at City State is... the Met Branch Trail? I guess you just don't even like knowing there's poverty in the air while you drink, eh? Might contaminate your beer.

I was born in DC and don't know any of this. Some of us are old, or don't go out much, or dont care. I do remember Tracks though. Man, that was a good time!

Come on. This is DC, it's really not nice anywhere you go. The more expensive neighborhoods are surrounded by main street wastelands. Potomac is a joke with their dated strip malls.

Poverty while drinking a brew?

Of course there isn’t much around, those expensive areas are isolated, that’s part of what they pay for. If you live there you can just drive to the stuff, you don’t care much about the stuff being right next to you. In fact, you probably like it that way.

Breweries are not something that are traditionally located in the expensive parts of cities. In fact, zoning usually restricts the placement of breweries and they are commonly located in strip malls and industrial areas throughout the country.

It's almost like you've never been to a brewery and don't know what they are. PPs were right. You're talking out of your butt.

Well of course not everyone knows any of this, but presumably someone who doesn't know any of this would simply stay out of the conversation instead of saying "come to a brewery" in a neighborhood that doesn't have breweries.

By the way I'm also born in DC and I'm super jealous you got to experience Tracks! I was about 10 years too late for that scene but I did at least get to be cognizant for the Barry years and just barely explore old DC as a young adult.

If you wanted good beer in DC way back when, you went to the Brickskeller right at Embassy & DuPont. 500 some beers on a menu. First DC brew place I remember was Cap City Brewing Co down by MCI or whatever they call it now. Across the river, VA had Bardo in Arlington & Union Street in Alexandria. Friendship really was not a destination for drinking. They had Houlihan's which I think is now a Whole Food there on Willard under the Woodies/Hecth parking lot. Then Tilas opened. Then Clydes. Aside from that, there was Chadwick's and the Pleasant Pheasant. But nobody really young hung out there. You had to head up Wisconsin Ave to Tenley for that and even further to Cleveland Park.

Taking me back. Houlihan’s. & Brickskeller was THE place for any beer beyond Budweiser/Coors etc….

This might be the most ignorant thing ever posted here and that's saying something. Just because you're too lazy and scared to leave your cozy NW neighborhood doesn't mean Eckington and MBT is third world. A55hole

Pretty sure the incel density bros you speak of in CP are married men, married women, single women, and some have kids and some don't. No incels, few actual bros, and no basement dwellers. If we expand north, we get more of the same. In Ward 3, no one fits your description.

I hung out there. I used to work at Houlihans. But I am old. Don’t forget hamburger hamlet that was next to Chadwick’s - several unsuccessful places replaced it. And before you got to Tenley you had to stop at the Round (Pound) Table next to the outer circle theater I think it was.

Please keep Potomac out of this. We don't want new development. thx

Yes, that downstairs bar at Round Table was pretty legendary. It was open after hours so they had to let you in when it got to be that time of the night. Pretty sure the easiest place around to get some Bolivian marching powder. Yep, next to the Outer Circle Theatre. Think its a bank now.

That stretch of WI Ave from Friendship to Tenley used to have a bunch of movie theatres. KB Jennifer 1-2, KB Cinema, KB Outer Circle, KB Studios and KB-Tenley 1-2. I think only the Tenley still exists and its part of AU now.
