U Street basement pub popular among the hipster crowd.

This small neighborhood pub sits in the basement of a U Street townhouse. When the weather outside is frightful, Polly’s lights a crackling fire. Exposed-brick walls, hardwood floors, and winter drink specials (soon to come) add to the intimate ambiance.
