Old Dominion Brewhouse (ODB) at the Convention Center is where you'll find me in the Fall watching my adopted team, Alabama play. The alumni have a deal with the bar (as do a couple of other alum associations). They have great normal bar food (yay for waffle fries!), some more upscale and healthy dishes, and then, of all things sushi and asian items. Even unfiltered sake! Completely random, but great tvs and use of space. And heck, if your team wins and you want to keep drinking to celebrate (or drown your tears of loss) you can sit your beer tower next to the skeeball machines and play until you can't see straight. There's always Buffalo Billiards in Dupont where you, again, can keep busy playing social sports while watching big screens. My favorite though, might actually be Nellie's on U street - you can catch the usual sports and the womens' versions too. They alsoshow other random sports as well, the drinks are well made (though they have beer too of course) and the chicken salad sliders are to die for. This bar does quite a bit to give back and backs many social teams and leagues in the district - they put your team pics up on the wall too. They also have a diverse crowd - while technically considered a gay bar with it's own drag trivia nights, it caters to everyone. Not a snobby place at all. And oddly a great place to get random Latin food - who knew?
