You should know that I love football and so does R. We both graduated from West Virginia University and don't miss a game. R is a Redskins fan which he tries to rub off on me and it is working for the most part. I grew up in Indiana, so I grew up rooting for the Colts.
Anyway, we traveled to the Capital Hill area a few Sundays ago. We took the Metro to the Eastern Market stop. From there we walked a block or so before we hit some bars and restaurants. Marty's Bar (527 8th Street, near E) was a good stop. I was expecting a local bar with terrible food, but got the opposite. They have plenty of beer on tap- I don't suggest the Shock Top unless you like orange juice beer (yes I am a girl and I love beer!). We ordered lunch, again I wasn't expecting gourmet. I got a amazing southwest salad with avacado, tomatoe, jalapeno, chicken, sour cream, salsa, black beans, and peppers. Yum! I would suggest Marty's for hanging out and watching football. Then we found an Irish Pub on 8th and G called Finn Mac Cool's. Marty's had lots of TV's, but Finn's had a big wall screen. It was a lively place with fans from every walk of life. It would be a good spot for an after work drink, a Sunday game, or even Friday night. They have drink specials too.
