The Old Ebbitt Grill is a unique experience not to be missed. You walk in and see the velvet booths and dark paneled interiors and wonder if you're out of your league. But this place welcomes DC power players and tourists alike. Their raw bar happy hour is also one of the greatest specials in the entire city. On Monday through Thursday from 3-6 and 11 pm to 1 am, everything is half off! You can get a $90 oyster platter for $45! And the food is terrific, too. Their crabcake is spectauclar and when in season, they work wonders with copper river salmon. The burgers are pretty well-known, too.
