Great bar, but what makes them even more amazing is that they're a great bar also with great food! A great place to go while you're waiting for a table at Toki Underground (the wait can be hours!)

Arts & Culture
The building is square shaped, with exhibits all around the perimeter rooms, with an indoor courtyard, which is nice for taking a break and having a chat. A nice museum to just stop into.

The Verizon Center is home to the Capitals (Hockey) as well as the Wizards (Basketball) if you have time to catch a game. But it's also where many concerts are held. Oh, and the circus.
