Wednesday - S is for Science Club & Birthday HH

Wednesday marks yet another letter in the alphabetical happy hour project. S will be for Science Club and will double as a birthday happy hour to celebrate the last year of my 20's. So please join us for periodic table fun and happy hour specials until 8 p.m., including $3 Yuengling, $4 Guinness, Amstel Light, and PBR, $4 spirits, and $5 glasses of wine. Fire up those Bunsen burners for fun and folly this week! And nominate your favs for the letter T on May 18.

Next up: T is for...

Cheers!

Reminder: This Wednesday O is for Ozio

This Wednesday, O is for Ozio, a cigar and martini bar near Dupont. We'll be upstairs (on the smoke-free level) to sip $5 house martinis, $4 house wines, $4 import beers, and $3 domestic beers. Despite the very "clubby" website, Ozio is more of a relaxed lounge atmosphere. Happy hour runs until 8, so stop by for an after-work drink, even if you'll be getting out late. Two weeks from Wednesday join us at P.O.V. at the top of the W Hotel, where the drinks are a little more expensive, but the views of the White House and monuments are priceless.

G was for Gazuza

Gazuza is a chill little cocktail/sushi/hookah bar perched on the second floor with a prime people-watching view of Connecticut Ave. The interior lounge is lined with knee-high tables, low benches, and short chairs that are markedly more comfortable than the similarly sized ones you used in kindergarten. The sushi menu is minimal, but the shisha offerings are decent. (There's also a Chipotle just downstairs, if that's more your style.)

The happy hour specials listed on their website were out-of-date, but the discounted cocktail offerings were still decent. The mojito was nothing to write home about, but try the Pineapple Express if you enjoy brightly colored, fruity drinks served in martini glasses. The also had a small selection of bottled beers. As for happy hour food specials, they offered about a dozen styles of half-price maki rolls (most are about $5). It’s nothing fancy, but it’s acceptable sushi at a good price.

Perhaps the best part of Gazuza is the all-weather “patio” overlooking the sidewalk and street below. The enclosed area bordering the front of Gazuza is about the same size as the interior and offers floor-to-ceiling windows and the same low tables and chairs. It’s a good place for intimate conversations, group parties around a shared hookah, or watching the sun sink behind the palatial buildings of Dupont while you sip your appletini.
