They say the best nights are the ones you don't remember. Enter the Brickskeller. At the suggestion of the owner of San Francisco's venerable Toronado, one of the best beer bars on the Left Coast, I went to the Brickskeller back in 1998 when in DC for a business meeting. I remember the physical layout of the bar, the fact that they had Old Potrero Single Rye Whisky, and that they had a kick-ass burger. What I can't recall is what I had after the burger, or getting back to the hotel, or pretty much any details about that night. Needless to say, I list that night as one of my best business travel experiences of the past decade.
Yesterday, after meetings in DC, I introduced my new colleagues to the Brickskeller - and by the end of the night, nine of us were searching through the list of over 1000 well maintained beers for hidden gems, having top notch burgers (and the spinach and artichoke dip was pretty darned good as well)!
For a world-travelling beer geek, the Brickskeller is the place to go to bring up memories of brews past... Adnams from Suffolk, Boon Gueuze from Belgium, Augustiner from Munich, Rauchbier from Bamberg (with all its smoky goodness), perfectly sour Berliner Weisse, Gaffel and Reissdorf Koelsch from Cologne, Uerige Doppelsticke from Duesseldorf, Geary Pale Ale from Maine, Hitachino Nest Lacto Stout from Japan... every bottle bringing forth a memory of places visited and beers shared with friends.
Or even better failing to bring up any memories at all...

If you have out of town guests in DC or you're just looking to get out of the apartment for an evening, check out the Phoenix Park hotel near Union Station. It's a little tired, but then again, that sort of adds to the character of the place. The rooms are tiny, but they're afforable, and what the lack in size they make up for in the smaller details. Also located walking distance to the Capitol and the Metro.

I stayed at this hotel the first time I went to D.C. It is very clean, has parking in the basement, for a minimal fee, and has the best view in town. Right across from the White House. The best thing about this hotel is that is has an outdoor restaurant on the top of the hotel, which you can see quite a few monuments and is a great view of the city. They were having a speicial when we went for $89 per night which included a nice breakfast buffet. The only bad thing is that we found it hard to find restaurants within a close distance from the hotel. Would definately stay there again.

This is one of the handful of estates in DC that allow public tours of both the house and gardens. Simply put, you won't find a more idyllic setting than strolling around the gardens of Dumbarton Oaks. It's actually surprising that they keep this property so well hidden. You don't even know it's there unless you're looking for it, but when you enter the space is huge. They have several differently-themed gardens and each is more beautiful than the next. Although they maintain the grounds year round, I recommend going in the spring and summer months when everything is in full bloom.

My company has a conference every year. This year it was in DC. Everyone, even if they live in DC is required to stay in a hotel during our conference. I ended up staying here for 3-days. I really enjoyed my stay. I didn’t pay t he bill, it was on the companies dime but overall the whole experience was perfect.

I've never stayed at the hotel but I visit it every time I am in DC. The restaurant and bar on the roof is awesome. I've had good service and a decent meal there on more than one occasion. I absolutely love the view here - it is the reason I always stop here.

My Aunt and Uncle used this agency to manage a group tour they wanted arranged in the DC area. They were very pleased with the planning process and how well it was managed. The itinerary they laid out was very professional and added some unique spots that would even surprise local DC residents.
