Pool

By nacho Posted on April 18, 2012 Posted in Lush Tagged with bars, drinking, Lush

I tried to play pool in Bethesda, MD on Sunday. I should have known better.

Quarry House

By nacho Posted on October 28, 2011 Posted in Lush, Meanwhile, in Silver Spring... Tagged with bar reviews, bars, nostalgia, silver spring

Silver Spring’s historic dive bar, the Quarry House, is dead. What it used to be, that is. The old Quarry House. It’s taken me six years or so to come to grips with this.

The Nest

By nacho Posted on July 14, 2011 Posted in Lush Tagged with bar reviews, bars, bethesda, Lush, The District

I set out to review The Nest, a slightly off the beaten path yuppie hangout in Bethesda, MD, but then I found myself with the same problem as when I tried to review Fire Station One in Silver Spring. The …

In Session

By nacho Posted on June 8, 2011 Posted in Lush, New Orleans, The District Tagged with bars, Bitching about NoMa, Lush, new orleans, The District

I have a dream. I’m going to move to New Orleans and open up a DC-themed bar. I’m going to call it “In Session” and set it up somewhere posh where we can pick up tourists and commuters. For all …

Day Drinking

By nacho Posted on March 11, 2011 Posted in Lush Tagged with bar reviews, bars, drinking, Lush

It’s time to answer the question that, I’m sure, is foremost in everyone’s mind: Where can I get a beer in Union Station at 8:30am? And I don’t mean buying one at the liquor store, or getting one down at …

Harp and Fiddle

By nacho Posted on March 4, 2011 Posted in Lush Tagged with bar reviews, bars, bethesda, harp and fiddle, nostalgia

The thing I miss the most about Bethesda, MD, is the somewhat downtrodden have/have-not divide of the 80’s and early 90’s. Before it became a glittering jewel in the Galactic Empire’s crown. People make fun of me when I rant …

By nacho Posted on June 5, 2010 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring... Tagged with bar reviews, bars, fire station 1, silver spring

Silver Spring Needs Hookers

By nacho Posted on May 7, 2010 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring... Tagged with bar reviews, bars, drinking, silver spring

I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with my town.  I’ve watched it grow up from scary urban wasteland to gentrified post-suburban neo-yuppie masturbation sock, and there’s just a little something that’s off.  A sort of sanitized soullessness that breeds …

Always Coming Home

By nacho Posted on April 15, 2010 Posted in Meanwhile, in Silver Spring... Tagged with 8407, bars, drinking, silver spring

I do understand that condemning 8407 on their opening night is pretty cruel.  Though I don’t think opening night jitters makes up for canned ham sandwiches and bartenders who don’t know how to tend bar, I do understand that one …
