V was for Vidalia
Va-va-voom: Vednesday, June 22, was Vidalia! We enjoyed happy hour specials from 5-7 p.m. (half-price select specialty cocktails, wines, and libations and $3.50 select bottle and draft beers). Vidalia also offers Southern "bar bites" for $3 from 5-7 p.m. Their menu features Southern-style comfort food like pork belly sliders, crayfish hushpuppies, BBQ shrimp, or potato chips with blue cheese dip. Or stick closer to home with the Chesapeake truffles (lump crabmeat with lemon-truffle aïoli). You can also get some grocery shopping done by purchasing a five-pound bag of Stanley Farms’ Jumbo #1 Vidalia onions (ask your server; comes with the restaurant's famous baked Vidalia onion recipe).1990 M Street NW

W was for The Wonderland Ballroom
Everybody loves a three-day holiday weekend, so we extended the fun through mid-week at The Wonderland Ballroom, a neighborhood bar with a District-wide following. Wonderland is too hip to list its happy-hour specials on its website, but according to the Washington Post, deals may include $3 rail drinks, $6 Delirium Tremens beers, and $2 off all drafts from 5-8 p.m. And, of course, Wonderland always has a good selection of drafts, cheap PBR, and a hoppin' patio.
X was for The Xchange Saloon
We tackled the letter 'X' with a trip to The Xchange Saloon, billed as "DC's oldest sports saloon." Resting in the shadow of the White House, The Xchange offers what you might expect from a sports bar, lots of big TV's and a full menu of "all-American style foods" (think burgers and nachos). So, we toasted the letter 'X' and the third-to-last alphabetical happy hour!
