Harry's Saloon

For my H, I had originally picked Hard Times Cafe, a DC-area chili chain that serves things like spaghetti covered in chili and tater tots covered in chili (as you may know, my next endeavor is going to be mapping all the places that serve tater tots, so that part's exciting to me). They also randomly have discounted martinis on Wednesdays and one of them has Tang in it. I've since been here, but before that I decided to switch it up and make it Harry's Saloon instead.

The reason behind this was really pretty basic. It's only a few blocks from my house and really close to The Occidental, which was having an awesome special that we were taking advantage of. So I thought, why not? We'll kill my H bar now.

This certainly wasn't a bad place, but I can't say I'm dying to go back. It was really more like a diner, with a bunch of families around who were probably staying at the weird ass "tourist hotel". Whatever that means. It kind of reminded me of a place like the Post Pub, kinda cool in its dirty way, but you can't really figure out why it's lasted so long in the middle of downtown.

They had big frosty mugs of beer though, which is always a plus. Not too expensive either.
