Happyyyyyy Friday/ first day of August aka my Birthday Month! Thinking of having dinner in the District? You should head to Boundary Stone tonight. For real, go. Located on 1st st NE and Rhode Island Ave in Bloomingdale, this small low-key bar has been voted Reader’s Choice Best in DC for Best Neighborhood Bar, among other accolades.
It’s got a nice little patio for outdoor seating right on the sidewalk and a super fly exposed-brick interior (you can never go wrong with exposed brick). My roommates and I made it a date night and HUSTLED on over to make sure we could partake in their sweet happy hour deal. It lasts until 7pm and features several$3-$4 beers, red/white wine, margs, and $5 Honey Hot Wings! They were just delightful.
We also got their Crab Dip, as it was a splurge kind of evening (note the fries in the background). It’s topped with an Old Bay infused oil & served with fresh baked bread. And let me tell you, they do NOT skimp on the crab meat. Straight up chunks mixed in with oozey cheese. Behold the glory:
Thennnn came the entrees. Decisions were the Falafel wrap, the Bleu Burger, and the Bacon (Jam) Burger (which was obviously my decision). Talk about delicious, and only $11! It was cooked to absolute perfection and jam (get it!?)- packed with flavor. I mean, come on, BACON JAM!
And THEN (I know, there’s more), we got their salted caramel brownie sundae for dessert. Best idea ever.
3 and a half minutes later….
We win! And if you feel like continuing the evening with a hipster kind of vibe, walk right across the street to Showtime and grab a cold one.
I’ve been to this place before! you should totally ask for the waiter Dionta next time-he’s the best!
