    Kilt Night In Washington, DC???

    I'm new to this board, but I know that there have to be no small number of us kilted folk in the Washington, DC area.

    How about it gentlemen? Kilts and a few pints at the Hawk 'n Dove?

    I'd love to have another DC Kilt night. I tried organizing one in mid-November but there were only 2 of us there.

    So count me in!

    Shall we try to give this a go before Christmas?

    The Hawk 'n Dove is an old favorite of mine... but we can try some other place if it works best for all concerned.

    Cheers,

    Bill

    The Hawk 'n Dove is on Capitol Hill... two blocks from the Library of Congress.

    It was a favorite watering hole during my bachelor days... before the beckon of suburbia called.

    Thumbs up kilt night in DC

    How about trying a place off the Hill that is a little easier to get to like Murphy's in old Alex? Let me know and I'll see if I can round up some other kilts in the area that I know.

    I'd love Murphy's in Alexandria. Parking can be a problem though.

    Last time I tried to organize one by way of Bravehearts I held it at the "Town and Country" in the Mayflower hotel. I chose that location because they have a great happy hour buffet from 5 to 7 PM on Friday nights, there's a parking garage nearby, it's just a block from the Farragut North Metro Station, and I've always been able to find street parking. Of course, if you really must you can always use the hotel valet parking but the price is pretty steep.

    Another nice thing at Town & Country is that Sam (the bartender) gave the two of us who went last time a round of free drinks for being the best dressed guys there. He's Thai but says that if I ever rustle up a kilt in his size that he'll wear it!
