After hours are always fun... except those times in DC when a fun place fills up with only 80 people inside.
Yes to beer
Submitted by jimcaruso on January 27, 2010 - 4:05pm.
I say yes to beer, local spots, and microbrews.
Yes to Microbreweries
Submitted by Bevan on February 2, 2010 - 10:52am.
Microbreweries are always great fun. I'm all for that. Ideally ones with large space that can fit lots of people. Many breweries I've been to have function rooms. Perhaps we should book one?

Great hang-out bar in San Francisco
Submitted by palxaam on May 23, 2010 - 11:18am.
I think a bar on Folsom street called Wish is probably one of the best evening hang-out bars in San Francisco. Their service is unbelievable. When you get a great service with good value it is hard to top, or compete with. Check it out guys, you won’t be disappointed… online medicine Hey, I forgot to mention, the décor is very inviting also.
