Last minute happy hour

[hillvalley]

I am taking Thursday off and am going to celebrate at happy hour Wednesday.

Right now I am leaning towards Courduroy, but can be convinced to imbibe elsewhere.

Who's joining me?

[JennyUptown]

Corduroy is kind of quiet for happy hour, no?

[hillvalley]

Never been so I have no idea. It was thrown out at me as a suggestion. I have no idea what is downtown or where to go. Help!

[JennyUptown]

Well, for drinks, there's the aforementioned Ceiba (nice bar, pink backlight which is interesting), Zola (swank), Matchbox (really good specials at the bar)...well, you know.

[babka]

does matchbox have good bar specials?? that could be a fantastic idea--closer to the metro, too--only rationale for Corduroy was that they had actual happy hour specials on food and drink for the budgetarily-challenged.

Yes, drink-wise they have nice specials. But you do have to be right at the bar (not at the tables) to take advantage.

What about Panache?

[Al_Dente]

Some place with little to no smoking and I'll go.

I can't give in to temptation.

[morela]

Let's go to Firefly

[John W.]

Can't. Buy out for 90 ppl. Sorry.

[babka]

al dente--congrats!!!!!

Matchbox works for me, if that's good with everyone else. I could drink their flavored vodkas anytime.

Unless we go to Montgomery County I don't know where any nonsmoking bars are.

[JRage]

What time would the happy "hours" be? I'd love to finally meet some of you guys...

[hillvalley]

The more the merrier. We aren't that scary, once you get to know us

I'm done with work at 4 so I can be there at 5 Babka will be a little late (I assume that is still correct?) so where ever we end up we will be there for a while.

Does Zatinya do a good HH? or Zola?

[mnebergall]

Don't forget, Morton's does those free tenderloin sandwiches at happy hour.

[John W.]

Might not be the cheapest place in town, but having a few cocktails at Le Bar in the Sofitel sounds quite brilliant to me right now.

[JennyUptown]

Random comments...

I think Morton's only has free tenderloin sandwiches on Monday, but I could be wrong.

Zaytinya's cocktails are great, but the place gets PACKED making for a less than relaxing HH. "Quick, grab that chair!"

I'd love to join you guys, but I have [as yet unconfirmed] dinner plans.

[mnebergall]

Hillvalley:

Why not wait until 4 tomorrow and tell us all where to meet?

[JennyUptown]

Clearly I am confused this week (OK, most of the time, but particularly this week). I thought HH was TODAY. Oopsy.

Everybody needs to buy Hillvalley a drink. Trust me. She needs several. And she deserves it.

edited, because I can't spell.

I'll by her a drink.

Marlene, I wish you were here so I could buy YOU a lot of drinks. Goodness knows I am the calm person I am (hahaha) because of your womanly ways.

I am making the executive decision that I will be at Matchbox tomorrow night at 6. 6:39 if traffic is bad or my parent meeting runs too long.

Hopefully this fits into your schedule and/or liking. The more the merrier. My goal for the evening is to convince them to put cheese on the minis. And take mnebergall.

*Note: Location may be changed if Al decides it is too smoky. If that is the case, someone else please pick a smoke free, metro accessible place?

Feel free to email me but I can't gaurantee a reply. Please don't PM since I can't check it at work Otherwise I will see you in the evening.

[babka]

the only smoke-free alternative that springs to mind is Palena, which has neither cheap drinks nor happy hour specials...but o! it's good!

yeah, I'll probably still be running late--will do my best to get there by 7, but can somebody who's going PM me a cell phone number so I can confirm where ya'all are before I leave? thanks!

[mnebergall]

I'll leave the cigars at home, for AD's sake. Where is Matchbox?

Womanly ways?! I wish I was there too. Have fun, you deserve it!
