It’s that time of year again, the biggest DPHH of the fall slate! We’re hosting the September DPHH at the Washington Harbor, with a new, unprecedented twist: choices galore! Meet at the water fountain that is adjacent to our usual location and  have your pick of the bars that encircle it. Last September, a happy group of DPHHers docked their boat at the Harbor and came ashore to join in the fun. If you have a boat, avoid the road traffic and take the water route for a fun evening (be sure to exercise caution, just as you would on the road)!

The outdoor waterfront/patio area is serviced by establishments which you can choose from, such as Tony & Joe’s outdoor bar, Nick’s Riverside Grill, Cabanas, and Sequoia. The waterfront provides a spectacularly dazzling view of the Potomac, the Kennedy Center, Key Bridge, and Washington Monument among other District fixtures. While you enjoy that ice-cold beer, or the tasty flavors of your favorite drink, you’ll have a nice background to rest your eyes on, before someone spots you and chats you up!

The nearest Metro is the Foggy Bottom stop on the Orange/Blue lines. From Union Station, you can take the D.C. Circulator Bus which traverses the city directly from Union Station to points along K Street in Georgetown. One of its two Washington Harbor stops will leave you with an easy eight-minute down 25th or 27th street stroll to the waterfront!

Nearest Metro: Foggy Bottom (Orange/Blue Lines)

Captioned movie fans, we’ve updated DeafDC.com to contain links to two indispensable resources on the top right side of our homepage that DeafDC.com used over the past several years to manually update our captioned movie listings. We want you to have direct access to up-to-date movie captioning times and dates with accurate information.

What was once a large number of websites to track captioned movie times has been consolidated to two websites, Regal Movie Theaters and AMC Movie Theaters. If you haven’t already heard, Regal Movie Theaters bought Consolidated Movie Theaters back in January of this year. Consolidated Movie Theaters had approximately four movie theaters on our listing which are now listed on Regal’s captioned movie listings. If there are other captioned movie websites for the DC metro area, please let us know and we will add it to our list on the DeafDC.com homepage.

As always, DeafDC.com urges everyone to contact their nearest local movie theater and ask them to offer captioned movies, increase their offerings and captioned screens (most offer only one), distribute the latest Hollywood releases, and provide up-to-date and accurate captioned movie information on their marketing materials, advertisements, and websites.

It’s time to grab a flick…get some popcorn and enjoy the captioned movies!

Unfortunately RFD cannot take us at this time, so we had to move to DPHH a half-block down 7th St. to Fado Irish Pub. Beer lovers, don’t fret, this place is just as crazy about their beer as RFD. Fado Irish Pub offers the complete slate of the popular Irish varieties. Haven’t been to Ireland before? Come check out what a $2 million effort to bring Ireland to Washington, DC looks like.

Join us for a belated celebration to honor America’s birthday at DPHH on Saturday, July 5th, the day after the 4th of July! It’s a great time to catch the Saturday night fever, something we haven’t done for years. DPHH was pushed back one day so DPHHers can enjoy the fireworks with their family and friends.

It’s all beer all the time at Regional Food & Drink in Washington, DC, the location of the next DPHH. Not only does RFD boast 300 of the world’s finest bottled beers and the best selection of local brews, they are well known for their “Cuisine a la Bier”, where beer is included in the preparation of their recipes.

Happy Fourth of July! Enjoy the fireworks!

Looking for “Fast Eddie” Felton in NoVa? Chances are, you’ll find him at the glamorous Continental Modern Pool Lounge in Rosslyn, VA. Land in vibrant hues and funky decor inspired by ’60s era nightclubs frequented by pool hustlers (or wannabes).

With nine billiard tables, you can come prove your mettle with friends. Not a pool shark? Try bar shuffleboard, the latest rage, or mellow out with a board game… anyone remember Connect Four?

A long bar sparkling with silver glitter offers up your standard bar fare. To cap it off, it’s only one block from the Rosslyn Metro and free parking is available at the North Moore Street Garage after 6 pm. And there will be no long lines at this DPHH!

It’ll be double the trouble this week for the DC deaf…DPHH will be held on Thursday and Friday evening!

First up is Bar Louie in Chinatown on Thursday, May 1st at 6 pm after the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Government Employment and Technology forum in Washington, DC. This DPHH will start earlier than usual, closer to true happy hour times. Bar Louie offers jumbo martinis, microbrews and select wines by the glass or bottle. If you have a hankering for Fat Tire beer, this is your place! With a flux of feds at this event, c’mon over and find out who works for our government. Oh louie louie, me gotta go!

Don’t let one DPHH and DHHIG Conference get you down, turn around and go at it the next night on the other side of Chinatown. Everyone’s been hollering for a DPHH at a bigger location so it’s time to bring our entourage to Ultra Bar on Friday, May 2nd! This location is a upscale, swanky dance club with a bold and curvaceous interior, boasting four plush, unique levels. It’ll be a visual delight!

It’s ladies night at Ultra Bar, my what gentlemen they are! Don’t despair, everyone over 21 gets in FREE with the Internet pass at:

Don’t let the location fool you, you can’t find a more causal place in posh Bethesda, MD than Tommy Joe’s. We’re not talking about that cup ‘o joe…get your beer fix and eat all night at this jovial place where the sign at the front may say “proper attire required” which they think means nice jeans and a t-shirt. Tommy Joe’s has this unusual bar area with a faux city landscape painted on the walls, as if they want to remind you that you’re in a tiny hamlet amid skyscrapers.

The DPHH will take place, as it always does, on a Friday… April 4th. We’re not foolin’ ya. Dress down and get yourself uptown to Tommy Joe’s!

This month last year, we had a blast at Be Bar. They’ve made the place more fun so it’s time to go back! During next month’s DPHH, on March 7th, there will be a Go-Go drag show featuring the Candy Patch starring Kristina Kelly and friends starting at 11 pm. Don’t wait till the last minute though, Be Bar will waive the cover charge for DPHHers until 10 pm, afterwards it’s a $5 cover charge. So be there or be square!

Got a sweet tooth? Quench it at Be Bar where they serve up an array of Martinis flavors such as Sweet Tarts, Jolly Ranchers, Lemon Heads, Strawberry Creamsicle, and even tropical Gummi Bear martinis with peach, banana, pineapple and orange flavors. Come relax on sofas and chat the evening away. The second floor is now open so we’ll have a lot more breathing room compared to last year!

Don’t commiserate on whether to be or not to be, come to Be Bar on March 7th for a rip roaring Deaf Professional Happy Hour. This is an event for all preferences, and you don’t have to tell us what yours is!
