After a series of Twitter polls stretching over a week, the 1200 Block of H Street NE (between 12th and 13th) has been crowned DC’s favorite block to drink on. In a poll open for 3 days, the 1200 block avenged its first round loss to the 1300 block (which was previously undefeated in 3 poll rounds) to eek out a 53%-47% victory. This is despite fact that nearly half the block is occupied by an AutoZone and its parking lot. Bars/spots to drink include: Nomad Hookah, The Queen Vic, Dynamix Lounge, Sticky Rice (and the SingSing Karaoke Palace), Toki Underground (though hard to drop in and get a drink), The Pug, Granville Moore’s, On the Rocks (all on north side of street, west to east); and in southeast corner, Smith Commons and Sol (upstairs cantina to reopen in spring).
