...dimly lit, spacious underground cavern, Buffalo Billiards is your typical crowd-accommodating billiards bar, with a "lodged-in-a-mountain-cabin" feel. A brown bear, a cowboy boot lamp, ceiling canoes, an abundance of wood and a Native American statue, are all part of the rustic theme in this two-barred joint, laden with pool tables, shuffleboards and small tables. While the bar hasn't prepared anything special for inauguration weekend - besides an extended hour deal - they expect a huge crowd, of both regulars and passerbys. If you're seeking out a hearty burger, a stimulating game of darts...
...reminiscent of French brocade wallpaper and buttery leather couches with pewter and chocolate finishes - Indulj is a luxuriously classy lounge. A popular drink is the fruity, pink sparkling Nuvo, born in Paris. If bubbles aren't your thing, order your sexy poison of choice at the brushed stainless steel bar and hobnob on the sparkly, silver floor tiles. Munch on some elevated Southern-style soul food like crab corndogs. The second floor outdoor deck offers a splendid view of the Duke Ellington portrait painted on the brick building right next door. While Indulj typically caters to a more mature crowd...
...first glance, the Round Robin seems typically stuffy. Suits gather at the circular bar and the ambiance is, well, avian: mallard duck colors, dark, paneled wood and forest green walls. The place oozes elegant opulence, a throwback to the rich history of its home at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, the "residence of presidents." A steady stream of mainstay figures in American history - Abraham Lincoln, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bill Clinton, Aretha Franklin, Elizabeth Taylor and Barack Obama, to name a few - have tread the halls of the Willard and frequented the Round Robin...
Visitors loitering in the hotel's marbled lobby are easily reminded of the greats that have passed through. But it's only at the signature round bar that customers can truly get a feel for history. Veteran bartender Jim Hewes is the creative force behind the presidential drink menu, appropriately pairing different drinks with past presidents. For Calvin Coolidge, it's cranberry juice and soda, a rather gentle, Puritan tonic. There's the Tanqueray martini for Roosevelt, a Beefeater martini for Kennedy, Madeira wine for founding father George Washington, and now, the Obama Shake for the President-elect. Colored...
...Sipson, England, all roads lead to the King William IV pub - a late 15th century tavern known for its cask ale and the ceaseless chatter of good-humored barflies. On Thursday afternoon, however, the lager and the laughter stopped flowing. Forty villagers watched the television mounted in the bar silently as Geoff Hoon, the nation's Transport Secretary, announced that he had approved plans for a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport. For Sipson, which sits on the airport's northern perimeter, it's nothing short of annihilation: the village's 700 homes and businesses must now be razed...
