Tonight I went with Venezia to the
Capitol Club, which is on Capitol Hill, of course. Decor is quite swanky. In fact, swanky is the word V used to describe the place. It has sort of a Moroccan vibe. The bar is upstairs. (Note to other patrons: if there's only one handrail, please let the heavyset tipsy woman in 3 inch heels coming down the stairs have the handrail. Please.)
The bar is upstairs and there's a restaurant downstairs. We may have to check out the restaurant some time. Of course it's up for competition with the purportedly authentic Moroccan down the street and the crepe place I can not believe is still up the street. (Every place I know closes! But 611 Supreme is still there!)
But back to the Capitol Club. They mix a strong drink! I had the
Torquemada, of course. It was very tasty! Definitely going to try this place again. I need to sample the Casbah and the Emerald.
