From February 2005 Dirt Cheap Eats

This Dupont Circle saloon holds the Guinness world record for the most varieties of beer available for purchase--more than 1,000 choices, ranging from $2.75 to $45.95. Tasty exports include the dark and sweet Czech Boom beer (11.2 ounce) for $3.50.

The kitchen, open until 1 am Sunday through Thursday (2 on weekends), has a nice selection of pub fare. Start things off with two pierogi ($4.25) fried or steamed with an onion and butter sauce. The juicy buffalo burger ($6.95) and the crispy fish 'n' chips ($6.95) are also good. Sandwiches range from $4.50 for a burger to $8.95 for the shrimp sandwich, and all are served with fries or German potato salad.
