So, anyone who knows me knows that I can’t stand snow. I’m a jaded northerner who cites “better weather” as one of the reasons I moved to DC 17 years ago. Snow is a messy inconvenience, and it can kiss my butt. You can keep your Winter Wonderland; I’m staying home and getting drunk on my couch.
However, my dear drink-slinging friends on H Street may have finally enticed me to bundle up and drink at their places for Kaiser Snowze. (And believe me, if this happens, you’re going to want to follow my twitter feed (@nicholeaileen) to stay abreast of my exploits) So here’s the deal, via Going Out Gurus:
Beginning Friday night at 6pm, six H Street area bars (Little Miss Whiskey’s, Jimmy Valentine’s, the Red & the Black, Sticky Rice, the Pug, and the Palace of Wonders) will take $1 off every drink you order for every 6″ of snow that falls. The special runs through Friday and Saturday, with drink prices capped at $2/drink. H Street Great Street‘s awesome clarification of how it might work goes like this:
To be clear, the cheapest any beverage would get is $2 per drink, so you could get $3 off for 18 inches of snow, so long as you were buying something that cost $5 or more to begin with. Or you could get $4 off for 24 inches, if your beverage was regularly priced at $6 or above. But you aren’t getting your PBR for $1 and they aren’t paying you to drink Stroh’s no matter how much it snows!
So, there you have it folks. I expect to see you all on H Street this weekend. I’ll be the one slurring muttering obscenities at the snow while throwing back $2 shots of Powers.
