So this weekend I might have spent a little too much time at one of D.C.'s neighborhood watering holes. Name of this fine establishment: Saint-Ex.
What was the occasion you ask? Well it all started with brunch...at a different bar. And after abusing the $15 bottomless Mimosas, Poinsettias, and Bloody Mary's that our lovely bartender kept supplying, we were eventually kicked out. But what else was there to do on a beautiful Saturday afternoon except find another bar serving brunch! (My dangerous habit of brunch-hopping took over me)
Thus we made out way over to Saint-Ex for Brunch Round 2. I had been to Saint-Ex before, but I guess I had not realized the true wonderfulness that was this bar. I started this wonderful experience by ordering a "Bees in the Beer" and my tastebuds buzzed with delight as they were covered with a carefully mixed combination of a smooth IPA, bourbon and touch of honey.
The tasteful experience continued when my oh-so-gracious boyfriend let me steal a bite of his "All Natural Beef Brisket," which included tender beef chunks paired with eggs over easy, cheddar harsh browns and cloaked in the most delicious gravy. So. Good. Needless to say not a bite was left.
After finishing our meal and our drinks, we decided it was probably time to go home and pretend to be responsible adults who don't drink the day away. Plus I needed a good nap before my friends birthday party.
But to my surprise, the birthday girl's party destination of choice was none other than Saint-Ex. While it was the same address, I would have to argue that Saint-Ex turns into a completely different bar when the clock strikes midnight - kind of Cinderella-like. If you make your way downstairs, you will find a huge dance floor, dimmed lights, and great music that kind of makes you reminisce about your good old college days when you partied in some frat's basement.
Great Brunch. Great Bar. All with Great Friends.
