To explore the plethora of options that have suddenly appeared in the Shaw neighborhood, Barred in DC will be hosting a semi-impromptu Shrawl (term blatantly stolen from BestThingOnTheMenu, sorry guys) this Friday, January 17th, starting at 9pm. Unlike the potential bar crawls helpfully described by Fritz Hahn (GoG/Post) and Jessica Sidman (Y&H/WCP) (and followed by BTMenu), this will not be exclusively a Derek Brown-bar excursion, though we plan on stopping by one of his new spots. [1/16 UPDATE: Today, Fritz posted a detailed DIY Shaw bar crawl with the same 4 bars as the Shrawl-amazing timing.]
Everyone is very welcome, including those of you who read this blog/follow Barred in DC on Twitter but I’ve never met (be on the lookout for someone who sort of looks like an Indian (think-spelling bee) Russell Wilson, I’ve been told).
Take the Green Line Metro to the Shaw/Howard stop, a G2 Metrobus from Georgetown or Dupont (along P St. NW), a 70 Metrobus from Chinatown, a G8 from Downtown, cab/Uber/walk from wherever you are. Feel free to stop by anytime along the way.
