I’ve only been to The Old Ebbitt Grill. I will have to check out The Dubliner.

I've been to both. The Dubliner was more fun. Old Ebbitt Grill was right around the corner from where I worked in the 80s. It's looks like it has been spruced up recently. It has been 40+ years since I was last there. 😋

But I'm not sure I would even go into D.C. anymore.

I would take a right coming out of the door and walk 1/2 a block to the corner, the entrance to where I worked was around the corner. It was 15th & Pa. Ave.

If I took a left at the corner & crossed 15th street I would have walked in front of the White House, with Lafayette Park across the street on Pa. Ave. 16th street would have been the next numbered street.

If I continued walking straight after turning the corner I would come up to 14th street. If I took a left at that corner i would, in 1 block, come to the strip clubs that lined both sides of that block. I always thought it strange that these clubs would be so close to the White House.

I don't remember where it was, but it was within walking distance from work was a place called Frisco's that had the best Gyro's I have ever eaten in my life. My mouth waters when I think about it. That was the best thing about working at that location. Great restaurants all around close by. Once a week on Friday's we would foray to a new one as a group from work.

*IF* I ever go back, I’ll check out the Dubliner. I’ve visited OEG, and loved it - man, that place just oozed history.
