I had a nice walk tonight from the docks at the end of King Street in Alexandria, Virginia to my hotel. Or, it was nice for the first three blocks until the heavens opened up. Man, I forgot what thunderstorms in June are like here. I made it to the hotel, drenched, and rested a bit before heading back to Old Town and Bilbo Baggins. Where the food has been adequate and the beer, divine.
All the reviews are spot on regarding the décor here, btw. I’ve been in Michigan State college bars that had more elaborate ambience. But they didn’t have Dominion on tap, or Duchesse de Bourgogne in the bottle. Mmm, Flemish red ales.
Dude. Restaurant Eve. It’s all about the Restaurant Eve (and, well, the Eamonn’s Dublin-style fish and chips).
… and, for beer, Rustico off Slater’s Lane. (Forgot to nod to zymurgy on this-here blog.)
