Enology Wine Bar

2008-07-19T18:22:43Z

The Events Director at Enology just told us about their new bar:

"Enology just opened last month and the theme is all-American. Everything from the wine and spirits to the cheese and charcuterie are all from the USA. Even the music is an all-American playlist. There are some great vintages from across the United States, but wonderfully surprising is how good the local vintages are- wines from Maryland and Virginia that can hold their own against Europe's finest. Enology serves chocolates and flatbreads in addition to cheese and charcuterie, so there's plenty of food to fill up on (although we are a bar and not a restaurant.)

In addition to wine (80 by the glass and 200 by the bottle) Enology makes a damn good cocktail. My favorite is the Northern Neck- spruce gin, lemonade, basil, and sprite. It's incredibly refreshing- sort of like a mojito but with basil. I can't get enough of 'em!

Enology is a great place to host an event- from reserving the bar for a private party- to organizing a special wine tasting- there are a ton of possibilities- and I'm happy to work with anyone to create the perfect event for their guests."

Shadow Room Opens

2008-07-04T21:24:12Z

Shadow Room is the latest high end lounge specializing in table service, is aiming to be the swankiest. It's brought to us by the Absolute Addiction group that has been throwing some of the best events at upscale clubs. We attended a press event back in April, am now just getting around to writing about the place. I lost my notebook so I'll try to remember some what I saw.

The one thing that sticks with me is a quote from CEO Das, "We are in the business of selling vanity.". So if that's your bag, this is the place for you.

Here are just some of the amenities:

-Personal dedicated waitress for your table
-Computer screens at every table
-Request songs to DJ from computer at table
-Order specialized drinks from computer at table, down to the ingredient, choose from multiple brands of liquor
-Upload photo albums in advanced and have a slideshow at your table
-Order valet service from your table
-Order XBox at your table
-Plans for space-age holographic drink ordering at bars (ala Minority Report)

Shadow Room is only open Fridays and Saturdays. You need to check out your website if any of this interests you:

The boomerang party bus is a great way to check out a variety of DC bars without having to worry about driving or getting a cab.

The bus picks up at the front page in Arlington on Fridays and in Dupont on Saturdays and then travels to 4 different DC bars. The boomerang is BYOB and equipped with plenty of music, dancing, and new people to meet. Also enjoy no cover charge, no lines, and drink specials at the bars.
