It’s time for the next Greater Greater happy hour! Join us in two weeks for drinks, conversation, and trainspotting along the Red Line in Brookland Edgewood (which should be a little less crowded than it is today).

Tuesday, October 6 from 6 to 8 pm, we’ll be at the Dew Drop Inn, located at 2801 8th Street NE. Formerly home to Chocolate City Brewing Company, this bar may be best known for its rooftop deck, which overlooks the Red Line tracks. In addition, drinks are $2 off until 7:30, and there’s a full food menu.

The Dew Drop Inn is located between the Rhode Island Avenue and Brookland-CUA Metro stations. From Rhode Island Avenue, the bar is about a half-mile up the Metropolitan Branch Trail, just past Franklin Street. From Brookland, it’s six blocks south of the station along 8th Street. If you’re coming by bus, the Metrobus D8, G8, and H8 all stop within two blocks, while several other routes stop at the Rhode Island Avenue Metro. There’s also a Capital Bikeshare station three blocks away at 7th and Hamlin streets NE.

Over the past year, we’ve held happy hours in Alexandria, Shaw, and U Street. We’re always looking for new, Metro-accessible locations for future happy hours (especially in Prince George’s County!). Where would you like us to go next?
