Warren Tavern


I just want to reiterate what Jay said about the Warren Tavern. It is a great spot to hang out and drink, eat and (in my case) watch football.
I checked out the history of the place and it has had some really notable folks belly up to the bar, including Paul Revere and George Washington.
It's named for Dr. Joseph Warren who was a real Patriot - present at the Boston Tea Party and felled by the British at Bunker Hill, mere steps from the establishment.
I love when my drinking outings become exercises in historical learning.
DC people - take a lesson from Dr. Warren - not the dying part but the protesting part - get out there and make a stink about your own "Taxation Without Representation!"
