Timberlake’s smelled bad. So if the new bar comes with new floors that don’t smell like puke, I’ll try it. Some good prices on chili and quesadillas.

It’s not bad…I work next door and went in to try it out. The happy hour is lacking, only a dollar off beers. The manager, or maybe owner, I’m not sure, came and asked how we were doing and whether we were enjoying ourselves, so that was nice. Although I said the happy hour specials were a little lacking he seemed to be under the impression that in this neighborhood his happy hour was quite fine, so that was off-putting. Actually the only reason I went in there is that it was pouring rain too hard for me to get to the Big Hunt or Russia House for their cheap martinis and sleaze-bag watching.

My co-workers tried the food and they were impressed with the butternut squash soup.

I checked this place out on sunday with a few friends and really enjoyed it. The service was good and they had every game displayed on tv’s. It wasn’t loud or overcrowded and we got there in time to sit next to the open window and enjoy one of the last days of good weather.

I miss Timberlakes, too.

And if this place is related to the Ugly Mug, I hope it’s cleaner and the food is better. That place had great bar food for a while but went downhill a few years ago. I haven’t been back since, so maybe it’s improved since then.

I spy Bell’s Two Hearted Ale. They are thus deserving of my business.

count me out. This place looks like a cheap Bourbon knock off only with more TVs and less bourban. Timberlakes was a cozy place with history. The old pictures on the wall from the 70s. you just felt a part of DC when you drank a cold draft there. And who cares when you are in a place like that if they dont have the best beer selection and the draft hoses leave a dirty taste to your beer. Thinking of all the people who had done it before you. I would always picture reporters from the 70s plopping down for a pint and smoking. sad.

Maddy’s is one of those loud bars. Timberlakes was the type of bar — few and far between today — where you could meet your friends for a beer and have an actual conversation. I wonder whether the owners of these loud bars think people drink more when they talk less? Probably.

Is it just me or are all the new bars (and restaurants for that matter) starting to look so much the same they are virtually interchangeable?
