Food scene
Great whiskey and cocktail bar with solid southern and barbecue food.
If you're feeling up for it, try a 'happy meal' which is a rotating combination of a beer and a shot that comes with a fun toy.

Brine H Street
Incredible local seafood spot, just steps from the house. Great list of oysters.
One of DC's best. You used to not be able to get reservations. Guests would have to wait at 4p every day for a table. But it was worth the wait. Now you can get reservations and highly recommend. Everything is made in house that night and is usually a multi-course experience.
