LOL Ha'Penny and Gusti's!

Agreed about Kilimanjaro. Also Pleasant Peasant and many others mentioned here. Makes me feel old ...

I liked I Matti. Not in love, but it was a 'go to' place for a while.

Rupert's by the old DC Convention Center.

Queen Bee in Clarendon.


I liked Cafe Dalat better. Really miss the old Clarendon in general.

Quigley's on New Mexico and Maggie's in Tenleytown (yes I went to AU)


Ha! Quigley's is a stretch as a restaurant. I thought one of the reasons they closed is that they sold too much beer in the food to beer ratio. Something about licensing bars vs. restaurants.


I wouldn't be surprised if that's why it closed. We used to go there at 16 and get blue Hawaiians.

Does anyone know what happened there? It was only open for a REALLY short time, it seemed.


It was open about 4 years. Not sure they could make the economics work there.

i forgot about Ha Penny Lion -- was it a restaurant or a bar? where was it?


17th & L. Definitely a bar. Total meat market. First bar I went to in DC back in 94. I worked a block away.


Dates me but I went there in the mid 80's. So I guess it had a pretty good run.

From that era there was also Gusti's on 19th and M. And of course the Fish Market in Georgetown - but not sure I would call that a loss of a restaurant since I am sure I never ate anything there.


Wow, Gusti's. Didn't they have a fire there?
