Happy Hours on: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday

Daily 4 to 7, until 10:30 on Wednesdays: $4 house wines, rail liquor, and domestic drafts; $5 select imported drafts. Tuesday until 10: $5 Irish beers, $10 Irish food special. Thursday 4 to 10 Ladies' Night: $6 martinis. Saturday and Sunday until 4: $4 mimosas and Bloody Mary's. Saturday and Sunday until 10: $12 beer buckets.


The covers of classic works by Irish authors—including Waiting for Godot and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man—adorn the walls of this clean-cut pub named after the Irishman-turned-Washingtonian who designed the White House. True to its roots, the drink menu includes a wide selection of draft, domestic, and imported beer plus an entire page devoted to whiskeys. With a large space and a relatively calm happy hour, James Hoban is an welcoming spot for after-work drinks with coworkers.
