Bars near the club (i know, repeat)

i know its been posted before, but without a damn search function, it was nearly impossible to find.

few friends and i were going to get drinks after a show; what are some solid, low-key bars, preferably within walking distance of the club?
And while you're helping chokey, can you list a good place to watch a basketball game before a show?
Bring your 9:30 ticket to Duffy's and you can get a cheap Guinness before the show. Or at least you could the last time I tried.
Duffy's before a show, but likley not after M-Th.
(LAST CALL 11:30PM DURING THE WEEK, 1:30AM FRIDAY AND SAT)
Saloun is a good spot. Velvet Lounge is good as well. Two very different bars though.
I hear Solly's is a good spot, its pretty new and only a couple blocks away.
i like solly's a lot, a friend of a friend owns the place and it has a great neighborhood vibe

DC9 is your best jukebox bet

i don't really like duffy's that much, feels too sterile for me

saloon is awesome (saloUn is the pretender in georgetown), great laid-back place
