It’s time for the next Greater Greater happy hour! This month, we’re heading back to Edgewood for drinks, conversation, and (if the rain would stop already) some fresh air on the deck of the Dew Drop Inn.

Thursday, May 26 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.

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.

This year, we’ve held happy hours in Adams Morgan and H Street, but keep an eye out for future events in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. We’re always looking for new, Metro-accessible locations for future happy hours. Where would you like us to go next?
