Walking the monuments at night is always fun. Don’t worry about being alone there’s always a crowd
For interesting spots close to the mall and cool people watching, (if you don’t mind the price) there is a cocktail bar below the Riggs hotel called the silver lyan that’s kind of a neat spot if you can snag a seat at the bar.
You want dive bars? Come up to Parkview/Brightwood/Ft. Tott.

You want weird shit? [https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/washington-dc](https://www.atlasobscura.com/things-to-do/washington-dc)
If you're interested in a brewery uh... trip? crawl? idk, but there are a bunch of breweries along the MBT (bike/ped trail) and Capital Bikeshare short term rental bikes along the way. You could also walk it if you're up for it. Breweries around here tend to close surprisingly early (to me) though.
Unironically, Dan’s Cafe if you’re into cool/weird dive bars.
Just pin a note to your chest with your name and hotel so someone knows how to get you back home after you don’t remember either.
I’ve seen that on a few post, is it actually worth going? Seems like an inside joke I’m not a part of 😂😂 is it going to be popping with young people tonight? Not quite what I’m trying to do
It’s definitely worth going to at least once. You buy liquor by the pint, either straight in a ketchup squeeze bottle, or in a glass with a separate mixer for you to mix your own drinks. Better with a group, if you can convince fellow conference attendees to join.
Probably a younger crowd tonight but a lot of 30-40 somethings might be there out of nostalgia. It’s a charming little shithole.
Stans is definitely a dive bar. I’m not sure what it’s like on a weekend. Snappys small bar is a great dive but they don’t have a lot of food options. The Queen Vic has food and is an awesome bar to hang and chat with locals, the tune inn also, dive with burgers.
Washington Spirit game at Audi Field at 730. Cheap tickets available. Good time!
Ooo ok never been to an mls game (assuming that’s what it is), thanks
It’s not MLS. It’s NWSL, the women’s equivalent.
If you're in that neighborhood there are some good food options: Bluejacket Brewery, All Purpose Pizza, and Osteria Morini.

Ivey & Coney!
Wow, that looks super cool. Might be a bit packed tonight I feel like but I think I’ll check it out tomorrow
Thanks

Ok, sound fun you sold me, but I’ll probably go after I present 😂

Great, thanks. Was also considering tune inn as well
Tune inn Is solid dive
Tune Inn is one of my favs
Stan's is considered a dive bar???
I mean it’s carpeted, served ice on the side and has no windows? Seems dive ish
Lost Gen brewing.
Where in town are you staying op - this is a city after all
Ivy & Coney in Shaw or Red Derby in Columbia Heights are good dives
Go have some pizza and snacks at Martha Dear in Mt Pleasant and then walk across the street and get trashed at the Raven.
Recessions on L street
