It’s time for the next Greater Greater happy hour! This month, we’re partnering with our friends at 730DC, the daily newsletter for young Washington. Thursday, January 28 from 6:00 to 9:00 pm, we’ll be at Songbyrd Music House, at 2477 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan.

We’re doing something special this time. Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here a long time, you’re probably an expert about some aspect of living here. When you come in, we’ll give you a name tag saying “Ask me about BLANK.” And we’ll have a few ringers (real experts) milling around to give advice as well. (There will also be happy hour deals on food and drink!)

Songbyrd is a 15-minute walk from the Woodley Park-Zoo and Columbia Heights Metro stations. If you’re coming by bus, the Metrobus 90s and 42/43 all stop within one block, and the S buses are a few blocks away on 16th Street. There’s also a Capital Bikeshare station around the corner at 18th Street and Columbia Road.

Over the past year, we’ve held happy hours in Shaw, downtown DC, and Edgewood. 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?
