Happy Monday: Vinoteca (DC)

[ 0 ] September 14, 2009 | Johnna

We know you haven’t been so happy with our lack of “Happy Monday” (j/k), but we are back on our daily search for all that is fab and delish in the District. Today’s Happy Monday brings us to Vinoteca. If you have not visited Vinoteca for Sunday brunch, you should. It’s a pretty good option toward the end of U streets busy corridor and has a broad range of vintage wines. If you can’t wake up that early on the weekends, then happy hour sounds like more of your thing. Happy hour runs from Sunday to Friday and we love how they give you more of a selection of wines instead of that cheap house wine most places offer…Additionally, we find it is refreshing when a happy hour offers country pate @ the low price of $6 (*It’s hard to get a glass of water in the District for under $6, so do you understand why we’re liking this spot?).

The Low Down: $7 sliders (*Choice of two with a salad…not bad at all…), $6 country pate and $5 white and red wines.

The Where: Vinoteca, 1940 11th. st., NW Washington, D.C.

The When: Sunday-Friday, 5 pm-7 pm
