Okay, I get into DC regularly for business, but rarely stop for a bite or a pint. Usually I only get to do that, when I'm in town for a DC United game or to wonder around the mall for an event.

Question to those that know DC better than I: where would be a good place for a bite to eat and maybe a pint of Guinness before the concert? My plan is to stop at Shady Grove and take the Metro toward the Kennedy Center. I'll walk or take the bus shuttle thats offered from the GWU/Foggy Bottom stop. I'm sure there's good places around that stop, or I could go anywhere via the metro, but I'd thought that I would ask if there was anyone in the know!

Thanks!
