View Full Version : DC Tuesdays: 10 cent wings and $1 beers BF.C Gatherings
Preppy 06-07-2005, 11:52 PM *Note: I am in no way associated with either restaurant chain*
So my roommates (Simsima325 & Tinman) and I are starting up this weekly 10 cent wings and $1 beers night on Tuesdays here in DC.
We start off the night by going to 51st State (on Pennsylvania Ave near 26th St. NW) for the 10 cent wings (c'mon, 20 wings for $2??? So worth it) and then roll over to McFadden's for the dollar beers.
So who's in for this?
simsima325 06-07-2005, 11:53 PM IN! oh yea, u knew that...
PS, $1 High Life starts at 9, so Wings will start at like 7:30 or so :)
Phat Ham 06-07-2005, 11:55 PM You should've posted this yesterday
Preppy 06-07-2005, 11:58 PM I didn't find out till 6pm today :(
simsima325 06-07-2005, 11:59 PM You should've posted this yesterday
you should have made a new sig yesterday ;)
m3avrck 06-08-2005, 12:02 AM I'm in as well but I agree with Ham you should have posted this yesterday as well. Then again got my car back and was joyriding so probably better you didn't :redspot
dcardenas 06-08-2005, 12:04 AM I'll make it down. Bad idea to try and drive/park?
simsima325 06-08-2005, 12:05 AM I'll make it down. Bad idea to try and drive/park?
nah, u can drive/park. no one messes with 318's in DC :D
Phat Ham 06-08-2005, 12:06 AM Hey Ted (and other people) you wanna do Rock Bottom $1 drafts tomorrow? err...i guess technically today.
m3avrck 06-08-2005, 12:07 AM Hey Ted (and other people) you wanna do Rock Bottom $1 drafts tomorrow? err...i guess technically today.
Yup was going to give you a call about that. Friend from school is down and we are going to rock bottom at 6pm for dinner and drinks. Trying to get these hot girls to come out as well.
m3avrck 06-08-2005, 12:09 AM I'll make it down. Bad idea to try and drive/park?
Parking isn't bad in Foggy Bottom. I'd look on 24th and 25th off of Pennsylvania for spots... should be good.
Bad idea to drink a lot of $1 beers though and then drive :nono
Preppy 06-08-2005, 12:11 AM nah, Dave is probably gonna end up crashing at our place if he does drink...
dcardenas 06-08-2005, 12:13 AM I'll just sleep on the sidewalk like usual.
Phat Ham 06-08-2005, 12:18 AM you should have made a new sig yesterday ;) you happy now fokker?

Hahahaha.... that's funny. I was going to say who is the badass in the middle ;)
One week I'd be up for DC Tuesday if you all decide to do it again.
adolenc 06-08-2005, 10:54 AM Back to the wings. Is this all night long? I'm usually downtown, but busy skating / biking until 8 or 8:30. After that I can roll over to 51st state easy and get some grub.
Preppy 06-08-2005, 05:33 PM Ken, we're planning on doing this every Tuesday :)
Not sure if it's all night long, but it goes pretty late according to my roommate.
Thewiseguy 06-08-2005, 05:46 PM Im down. Chris give me a call next week to remind me please.
CASTRO 06-08-2005, 09:02 PM I'm down. However, I think I'll be driving in. Metro=crap!!
wludavid 06-09-2005, 12:43 AM wingZZZZ and beerZZZZ

Damn I must be cheap :D How bout $2 anything on draft :buttrock
m3avrck 06-13-2005, 09:47 AM what time we meeting up? 7, 730ish?
Preppy 06-13-2005, 10:32 AM We did 6:30 @ 51st State last time...and that was a bit on the early side as the $1 beers at McFadden's doesn't begin till 9pm.
I'm gonna go ahead and make the call time @ 7pm. Can't guarantee there won't be a wait (cause there probably will be) and cannot assure that we'll all be sitting together. But we will coordinate going to McFadden's together :)
How's that sound? Who needs my cell#?
m3avrck 06-13-2005, 10:34 AM Ok that sounds good... might be a bit later, closer to 730 here, but probably not nearly as late as oBlueDre will be :D
wludavid 06-13-2005, 10:35 AM Who needs my cell#?
PM me the celly. ;)
Preppy 06-13-2005, 10:40 AM Sent you a PM.
CASTRO 06-14-2005, 06:15 PM I'm going to be a little late, but I'll be there.
Preppy 06-14-2005, 06:17 PM I cant promise there will be any wings left :stickoutt
Ok Branko 06-15-2005, 12:28 AM Im still sick, otherwise I wouldve tried to get out there.
Phat Ham 06-15-2005, 01:43 AM Im still sick, otherwise I wouldve tried to get out there. They wouldn't have let you in anyway. You're too tall.
adolenc 06-15-2005, 09:34 AM way too many people there last night. We biked up to the place and kept rolling.

Good call. The wings were cheap and plentiful, but we had a little trouble getting the waitstaff to bring us stuff. I say we get there earlier next time and stake out a place upstairs. $1 Miller High Lifes at McFadden's wasn't worth waiting until 9:00 for. :complain
Phat Ham 06-15-2005, 09:58 AM $1 Miller High Lifes at McFadden's wasn't worth waiting until 9:00 for. :complain Those beers were definitely not worth a dollar, unless you're a fan of warm beer.

How many people did you have come out? You might be able to talk a local bar/restaraunt that isn't busy to create a discount/special for you guys to come in on a regular night. :dunno

Not enough to talk our way into a special of our own. Although maybe if we tell them we're hanging out with internet friends they'll have pity on us. :(

In that case, you just need to find a REALLY empty local bar. If you make it a regular gathering, the crowd should grow. Approach them as a business proposal. They get business on a normally empty night and you get discounted food or drinks. If a place is empty enough, they might be willing to work something out. What have you got to lose? It only takes a couple minutes to ask a manager... They throw some free wings at you and would easily make their money back off the first round of drinks.
---Eric
Preppy 06-15-2005, 10:27 AM Yeah $1 beers has gone downhill fast from what it used to be...which was $1 Yuengling, then they brought it down to $1 Bud Light, then $1 MGD, now it's High Life...I swear, it's going to be Natty Light next.....then followed by PISS, wait, maybe piss before NL, they should have some standards I'd hope...
Yes, I agree on an earlier call time for wings next time. I figured the 7 o'clock time slot would cater more to the working crowd, but apparently that catered to crappy service by Kevin....

Two places down at Marshalls might be able to do it. They're usually pretty empty as it is...

And maybe they'll fill our beers to the top if we ask nicely... ;)
Preppy, we all appreciate your efforts to get everyone together. I hope you don't construe our (my) complaints as a lack of gratitude.
Personally, I think we should do Froggy Bottom, or just get away from the college bar scene. They see a bunch of young people come in for the specials and they think they'll get a bad tip so they don't treat us right. Little do they know that's it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. I've just had better luck elsewhere.

I'll push for Bethesda. It's metro accessible, slightly older crowd (depending on the place), the roads aren't as bad a DCs and it is close to me. :D

Bethesda's only a 25-30 metro ride to Foggy Bottom. You have no excuse not to go into the city with us.

I always have an excuse... :stickoutt
I took the Metro for 5 years.... and hated it! I'll avoid it whenever possible. The city roads are pathetic so I won't drive there anymore. I'm not quite sure where the money goes. They now have red light and speed cameras yet they can't pave a single stretch and have it last more than a week?!?!? I would rather spend my time/money elsewhere. Every time I go into DC, it pisses me off.

Meow 3 06-16-2005, 05:23 PM so where might this be next time? May actually be able to make something if I am not out of town like every other day of my life.
Meow 3 06-21-2005, 06:41 PM so this is dead after like one day? weak man, weak.
Preppy 06-22-2005, 11:01 AM My bad dude, we went again last night, to both places :)
It was fun! You should call my cell next time!

Don't bother with the stickies... I usually skip past them. Just bump it to the top the day before. :)
