We went to Bourbon in Adam's Morgan for a Modernist Society gathering. This is a seriously busy place, and once we scored a table we waited 30 minutes for a menu. We finally ordered at the bar and waited for our food-- we were in doubt we would be able to participate in any of the activities.
I like the idea of Bourbon-- American whiskey at its best, decent pub food, and an undoubtedly thriving atmosphere. Plus, there was a fancy McCallen tasting there that night, and once you did the free tasting and filled out the postcard so they could keep up with their fans, you got a free drink at the bar. No kidding.
The bartender lost our order, we got hypoglycemic, he rushed the next order to us with drinks on the house, and we started wondering if we were going to get home. Needless to say, after the decent pub grub (ostrich and veggie burgers, the ostrich the better) the free tasting, the comped beers and the complementary whiskey with the postcard, we had the cheapest evening out we have ever had in DC. Seriously, ever. We paid $25 including tax and tip for the lot-- and I was almost embarrassed.
As for the Moderist Society, we never made it upstairs until the event was into the nightclub phase and it was time to waddle home. And for Bourbon, it is a half decent place with a humble bartender who can admit he messed up your order and send you away to pout with a drink on the house. We are sure to wander back at some point when we want a noisy and fun evening out.
