Update on the recent visit to the nation's capital. I hit the Pour house for personal/historical reasons. It turned out to be a fine drinking bar the first night, they had sports on all 5 TVs. They had subscription to setanta sports station so there was a BPL soccer game on(i recently got Sirius radio and it has become an obsession), so i had a pint of Guinness and sat back to watch the game. Overall very average bar, the exterior sign would make me come back regularly if i lived in dc. The next night i went out to Cheng's Pacific, which was the shining star tiki palace in the dc area and of the entire trip. The food was great, the drinks were solid, service was nice and friendly. Got to be directed to my seat by the owner and was just totally blown away by the coolness and relaxed atmosphere of the place. The moai on the wall was great and all the other tikis and music definitely raised the tipsy factor in the place far beyond my expectations, final note on pacific, Go there now! A few days later i hit the Palace of wonders, which was hosting a benefit for one of the local performers. I found it to be a great bar and i loved the feel and collection of things on display. The Samoan sea worm was the greatest, i love old carnival sideshows and it was a much needed escape from my classmates and the current school trip, we hadn't hit the national gallery(Paul Gaugain) or natural history museum. more to come when...

I have never met a drink I didn't like, unless it was that time I met beer...
