I am meeting a friend for drinks/dinner next Friday. I am looking for a place where we can sit down and have some drinks and some snacks and talk. I am not looking for a fancy place. My friend works near Union Station and I am in Adams Morgan. Anyplace in between would be fine. (Penn Quarter, 14th Street, U Street, Conn Ave)
I was thinking that Birch and Barley might work but I though we might have trouble getting a table in the bar on a Friday, but maybe not if we met early enough like at 5:00? Loud is fine as long as we are likely to be able to sit down.
