THE FINAL FOAMDOWN

It’s been one rough and crazy ride, Capitol Hill. Thirty-four beloved bars started, but now only TWO remain. This round of voting was, as you might imagine, another nail-biter. The Queen Vic edged out The Argonaut by 37 votes; the Tune Inn fell to powerhouse rookie Beuchert’s Saloon by only 35. NAIL-BITERS, I TELL YOU! […]

They were added to the voting mix late, and The Pug won this add-on bracket. With the addition […]

Our Second-Annual BAR MADNESS Is Here!

UPDATED: WE GOT TOO EXCITED. It’s that time of year where predictions fly and people dream and pretend they care about college basketball. Last year was our first “bar madness” tournament and H Street staple The Pug was our runaway winner. This year we’re trying something a little more streamlined: thirty-two THIRTY-FOUR! neighborhood bars vying for […]
