20 Second Bar Review - Capitol Lounge
229 Pennsylvania Ave SE.
Imagine your favorite filthy old hometown sports bar. See the uniforms on the wall, yellowing newspaper clippings from the last time the teams were any good. Smell the beer and smoke. Revel in the darkness.
Take that bar, and replace all the sports crap with political crap. Replace Joe Namath or Joe Montana with Marion Barry. Swap out Tom Landry and swap in Nelson Rockefeller. This is the Capitol Lounge - the sports bar for whom politics is the sport of choice.
The atmosphere is authentic, the beer is average and the people are self-absorbed, but jovial. If you have to show someone Hill nightlife in half an hour, this is the place to go.
