$2 P.B.R.!!! I'm there

Living next to Falls Church City, when I go out for some drinks and don't feel like dealing with the drunken, fight-seeking maniacs in Addams Morgan, the pretentious interns in Georgetown, or the preps in Clarendon, I go the short distance to Falls Church. Problem is there aren't that many bars to go to here.

My favorite bar and "homefield" is Ireland's Four Provinces where I can enjoy my Guinness in peace and bullsh*t with some of the clientele. If you haven't been there, go and support my favorite bartenders!

There's also Broadstreet Tavern which has a more, how do I say, redneck vibe which kind of turns me off.

Other than that there isn't much... until now.

Recently Clare and Don's Beach Shack moved from Clarendon next to the State Theatre in Falls Church and I have to admit I really like it. They have two dollar Pabst Blue Ribbons which I enjoy plus I don't have to break out multiple twenties when it comes time to pay my tab. The food is good (fried egg on a cheeseburger... got my vote) and I even found El-P and Murs on their jukebox. The atmosphere is pretty cool and in the summer the deck has the potential to become a hot spot for area residents.

Check it out if you get the chance!
