Cloture Girl’s: The Weekend Review

Hello DC Weekenders! As we all know Washington DC Restaurant Week 2012 is in full swing through the 19th and Washingtonian’s everywhere are running out to scarf up those great deals through the end of the week. For those of you full to the brim with good eats and great drinks, here are some events to break through the eating binge.

Brews, Bikes and Golf

Head on out to the H Street Country Club on Friday the 17th from 4-8 as new Belgium takes over all over the Country Club’s taps at a special happy hour. AND make sure you practice your putting: A limited-edition Fat Tire cruiser bike is up for grabs during a special hole-in-one challenge.

Chocolate City Anniversary Party

Come on out to Penn Social on E St. NW where the Brookland-based brewery marks its first year in business at Penn Social, a cavernous new bar that’s home to 40 taps and numerous games. Entertainment includes Skee-ball, shuffleboard and giant Jenga and the anniversary party features four Chocolate City beers for $5 each, including the El Segundo Saison. DJ Benny C provides dance tunes all night to keep you moving even when you’re not indulging in games or the pursuit of happiness through beer.

Chuck Brown Day Concert

Head on out to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center this Saturday starting at 4pm and you’re sure not to be disappointed. The late Chuck Brown’s annual birthday concerts at the 9:30 Club were epic. The hours-long shows featured Brown, of course, but also a cavalcade of go-go stars performing to pay homage to the Godfather. This concert should be epic for DC in a similar fashion. In addition to Brown’s longtime backing band, the Original Soul Searchers, the bill includes a who’s who of go-go groups: Trouble Funk, Hot Cold Sweat, E.U., Backyard Band, Junkyard Bard and Suttle Thoughts. Brown’s daughter KK is among the hosts.

A Lovely Victorian Tea

The Weems-Botts Museum puts on a lovely event from 1:30-3:00 this Saturday for the Victorian lover in us all. Children and their favorite stuffed animal or doll are invited to a tea complete with a story called “Language of the Fans.” It promises to be fun through the ages.

Get Your Soccer Fix

DC United meets Philadelphia Union at RFK Stadium at 5pm Sunday the 19th. Don’t forget to buy your tickets early and catch one of the remaining games!

Redskins Rides

Make the trip to Redskins Park from 12-5pm this Sunday for a car show sponsored by the Redskins, with autograph signing and other entertainment. Admission goes for $15 a piece, $10 for children, or $50 for family of four. Get your Sunday football mix as early as they come!

This Weekend’s Must-Try Dining Experience: The Hamilton

600 14th St., NW Washington, DC 20005

Not only a wonderful dining experience, the Hamilton is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even late-night dining, it also offers a great concert experience. The Hamilton offers local, national and international musicians the unique opportunity to entertain a city that is never short on opinions, accompanied by the two level, five bar, four dining room layout of this glorious building in the heart of downtown DC.
