bars near the verizon center

Coyote Ugly was hideous… I went there once, in an effort not to be narrow-minded, and it was awful, awful. Lots of lonely aging frat-boy types staring with frog eyes at the hawt girls on the bar, as if one of them might go home with them – which of course would never happen.

One time I sat at the bar at Fado on an off night and ordered the Indian curry chicken. Asked the bartender what he thought of it, and he said, in a thick accent, "I think it tastes like shite, but people seem to like it." But it was OK.

Coyote Ugly is now the R+R BaR … OK place. multiple floors. Some lounging areas here and there. Lucky Strike is OK for pre-Wiz game noshing and drinking. And you don't have to go back outside to enter the V Ctr, just go down the escalator, pass the movie theater box office to the doors of the arena.

i highly recommend the buffalo burger at RFD. ordered rare and accompanied by a belgian witbier = bliss.

stay far far away from the indian place on 7th across from Fado's/RFD and just south of hooters… disgusting.

I had read (washington post?) that Nanny's was being "updated" by the owners of Bedrock Billiards.

Makes sense. They also own Atomic and Aroma on that stretch…
