Local 16

One of the venues we were told about by the couple we talked with at the Ethiopian Gala was Local 16, which they said was their favorite bar. So after dinner at 2 Amys, we headed over to give it a try. (This was after finding out that Busboys & Poet's open mic night is popular enough to sell out on a cold drizzly Tuesday night, alas). Local 16 is a two story venue with two rooms on the first floor, having a bar on one side and dining room on the other. The beer selection is pretty good, prices reasonable ($6 for a micro). Upstairs as an awesome rooftop deck that was unfortuneately closed as was the other lounging rooms arranged around it because I suppose it was still early in the week. Still I could tell that this place has potential and with warmer weather coming down the pike, I will keep this place in the back burner of cool places to go.
