Brickskeller: A Beer (or Ten) for Everyone

Enjoy beers from around the world at Brickskeller

Hey, if you like beer and you're into tasting new kinds from around the world... clearly this is your place. Although the building looks a bit like a hotel from the outside (complete with red carpet steps and large red awning) the Brickskeller actually resides in the basement level. Down the stairs you go into a subterranian beer heaven. They have over 1,000 beers to choose from and the numbers keep rising. The basement level atmosphere is comfortable and cozy... a prefect area to relax and sip beers you have never had, and might never have again. Want to make a night out of it? Go to the Brickskeller for beer AND dinner. They describe their menu as being "hefty, hot and hearty". When I was there I had one of their big burgers and it didn't disappoint. But come on, are we really grading them on their food? Hello! Over 1,000 beers here... pull up a seat and tip one back!

Dress Code: Casual all the way.

The Brickskeller: "beer...it's what's for dinner"

If you can find a bar in Washington (or anywhere else) with a larger selection of beer...I'll buy you a beer. A multi-level bar and eating place, The Brickskeller is an institution and always crowded. The menu lists beers by countries and the way to say 'cheers' in as many languages. For a group of friends to get together for a drink, this is the place.

Dress Code: Anything goes...preppy DC to very casual

Sadly, I was so zonked from my days that I wasn't prepared to fully engage in the nightlife. There are 2 nightlife's in DC: one is the formal nightlife for the wheeler-dealer types (if you are so lucky to be invited) and then there are the clubs etc. where students and young people hang out.

Rumors has always been known as a singles bar that has been around for decades. It has a small deck outside, and a large dining room with several bars, and plenty of TV's to watch sports.

This is not only a nightlife tip... you can go there any time of the day. It's a fun evening activity!

Dress Code: This place is not really fancy, so everyday clothes would make it.
