Bars, Women And GW Life This School Has More Bars Than History Courses By Scott Russell T ransferring into G,W. can be an over- whelming experience. It is a large school in a major city and that can take some getting used to. Long lines in the book store and long tines at registration are but a couple of the problems faced by a new student. There seemed to be long lines everywhere. Since things were going surprisingly smooth for me, I would go to the Roy Roger’s across the street from campus to get something to eat and to find a place to relax. There I would wait in a long line to get a Double “R” barbecue burger served by someone who came in dead last in a Miss Congeniality contest. I recall when I first got here. It was three days into the semester and 1 already had to make a momentous decision, one that concerned my cultural enrichment as well as my social welfare: Do I go to Odd’s or The Exchange? Actually there were more than two bars from which to choose. In fact, one of the early indications that I would like this school is that it offered more night spots than history courses, and a quick glance at the course catalogue suggested that there would certainly be a very active night life. This decision before me was one of the hardest I had ever faced, even harder than picking what courses to take. Classes, actually, were easy to select. I just picked whatever courses that were described in the course catalogue as heavily illusrated with slide presentations. 1 ’ Back to my original quandry. Odd ' s Cafe is a moderately sized bar restaurant located right across Pennsylvania Avenue on 21st St. It opened a couple of years ago and at first only had minimal business. It has built up a large clientele due primarily to it ' s nice atmosphere, moderately priced drinks, and also because it is the only place where you can still find the Monkees on the juke box. It used to be run by a Thai family that everyone was very sad to see leave. Although the people who replaced them have employed stormtrooper techniques to ensure that everyone is legal, their precautions never work, so it still remains one of G.W s favorite hangouts. The Exchange, on the other hand, has a much “modder” crowd due to it ' s location close to FEATURES 23

Thurston Hall. Its drinks are also moderately priced and, with the exception of an assortment of dead animal heads hanging off the walls, it has a nice atmosphere but I suppose so does Mars provided that you ' re equipped for it. The one nice thing about the Exchange is that it has in its employment a couple of very personable bartenders who are always trying to induce you to drink various types and amounts of alcohol, usually more than you ' d like. Although they are trying to be nice, with friends like that, who needs toxic waste? Although Odd ' s and The Exchange claim a large amount of the G.W. crowd, there are many other bars students frequent. Other bars include: The 21st Amendment located across Pennsyl- vania Avenue near the Circle Theatre. This bar plays all the songs that you never listened to in the 70 ' s and really don ' t feel like listening to now. The really good thing about this place is that you can go there, try to have a conversation with an attractve woman, strikeout and still have time to go see a movie Mr. Henry ' s is located on Pennsylvania Avenue between 2 1st and 22nd streets, not a bad place, but it has gawdy (or is that Victorian?) decor. It is kind of expensive, but it ' s a good place to go for a beer and something to eat. But don ' t go there after midnight because there is no hot, only cold food.” Roxanne ' s is located on 21 St , between Pennsylvania Avenue and Eye. It is a big place with boring decor, and is expensive AS HELL! The girls that go there wear enough costume jewelry to buy back Manhattan. The one good thing about this place is that there is enough room inside to get up a game of indoor soccer if you get bored with the pretentious Japs. The Red Lion Pub, on the Promenade deck of the 2000 Pennsylvania Love Boat, is a good place It is a replica of a Scotish Pub, complete with those great beers of Scotland, Pabst and Michelob, which is ironic because we have beers from this country with the same names. There are a couple of Irish pubs around D.C. that make a nice change from the norm. The Dubliner on Capitol Hill is a nice place to spend your last $10, in about 10 minutes! The Irish Connection, located just off Connecticut Avenue by ABC News, is probably the best Irish place because it is much more ” pub-like” and personal. Also, and more importantly they buy you a round every once in a while If you go there, look for a bartender named Justin. He ' s a genuine Irishman direct from the Bronx. Probably one of the best kept secrets is a bar called the Hung Jury’ Pub located on Pennsyl- vania Avenue near People ' s Drug. This place is great if you ' re realty into girls, but there is one problem. You must be a girl that ' s into girls, so its probably best to keep it a secret. Speaking of secrets, you could always go up to Dupont Circle. The bars there give new meaning to the phrase Members Only.” If none of these bars are to your liking, you could always go to Georgetown.
