Thirsty Washingtonians, take heed! The Pumpernickel has discovered the best gosh darn Happy Hour this side of the Potomac.
Chef Geoff's Downtown restaurant near Federal Triangle is an oasis in a city of often mundane and incongruously named Happy Hours.
Unlike other Happy Hour menus, there's a lot of variety at Chef Geoff's. Long necks go for $2.95 and Estrella wines for $5.95, but the real boozy draw is the $7.95 Super Mug, a drink not for the faint of heart. These gargantuan glasses of cold beer clock in at a whopping 33.8 oz. Come thirsty!
Burgers go for $5.95 and personal pizza pies for $8.95. When I visited last week, I enjoyed two pizzas: the first, an Artichoke pie with sundried tomato, basil and Fontina cheese, and the second, a Mushroom pie with thyme, Fontina, Tallegio and garlic oil. Delicious, and surprisingly filling. My dining companion and I both failed to finish our meals, meaning we both had enough pizza for lunch the next day. Victory!
Happy Hour prices are available from 3 until 7 pm at the bar during the week, except on Mondays and Tuesdays when the deals last all night. That's right, all night. (That's what she said? Maybe not, but it's still a steal.)
Fair warning though; the bar area can get quite crowded. But then again, can you blame people for flocking here?
UPDATE: A Happy Hour spy just informed me that special prices also apply ALL DAY on Saturdays and Sundays. As if you needed another reason to love this place.

Don't get me wrong those are very good beer prices but... the 33.8oz glass actually works out to 30-40 cents more per ounce. Again, not saying this isn't a great deal and yes this is a dorky calculation but thought you might be interested.
