Subject: Anyone remember Harry's Tap Room in Clarendon?
I had my rehearsal dinner there. They were so great to work with and everyone had a great time. Really fond memories of that night. Sad it's closed.

I loved both of those places! Harry's Tap Room was my birthday go-to for a few years.

Truly, what is the deal with Mexicali Blues? Do they have a dirt-cheap 50 year lease?
Mexicali Blues is the second worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. Stale chips, watery drinks, bland tasteless food, and they serve plain white rice as a side. So weird. Rude service too. I just don’t get it.

I remember Falls Camera being there as well as little Vietnamese eateries on Wilson Blvd. There used to be a store near the subway station that sold ballet/dance clothes, tights, shoes and nipple covers with tassels for the exotic dancers.
Queen Bee was my fav.

Man, thinking about pre-pandemic work/socializing is like remembering another my time on another planet. A planet where I didn't have kids, I wore heels every day, I sometimes drank beer at noon on a work day, and I put substantial effort into following sports because that's just how much mental bandwidth I had at the time. Things are... different now.
I think you're thinking of "Maddy's" Tap Room at 13th and L. But Harry's was a chain of sorts--it had locations at Pentagon City Mall and Dulles Airport.
And I think it was related to a nicer steakhouse in DC. Sam and Harry’s maybe? Wow. Agree with PP that it seems like a different lifetime ago.
Agreed. Didn't the Greek place that was replaced by Oz (whyyy?) relocate to McLean?

They owned tallullah right?
What about Willow in Ballston, that was a gem.
I was so sad when willow closed — Nothing like it around here!
But yes, we loved Harry’s and Fuego too!

Harry’s was that Mexican place for a while, and oz, and now something different.
We loved Harry’s and totally miss it.
I think it was the next corner down - where colony grill is now.
