It does NOT look big enough to handle the crowds that DPHH usually gets. It might work as a 5-7pm happy hour, though.. By the way, what happened to those? I’ve passed Cafe Asia before.

Normally we rotate among cities in this order: DC - VA - DC - MD - DC - VA... The place must match or come extremely close to these criteria: 1. Able to handle an additional 250+ people 2. Near the DC Metro 3. Handicap accessible And several other things...

Chill,

Are you refer the Cafe Asia in downtown DC or somewhere within DC area?

Dragonfly Bar and Rock & Roll Hotel sounds great.

Which Green Turtle bar you refer to? My understanding about three different Green Turtle locations.

I understand that is no easy task for the DC’s DPHH committee to find a suitable place for our DPHH gatherings.

Of course some people won't go to this july's dphh event. If they don't want to go, then it's their decision. Clyde's is a nice place, however, it's more of a sit-down place than a bar. How many of you have actually been in the Chinatown location? Here's a suggestion.. pick different places. I'm starting to get bored with going to the same locations for dphh events. Although they may be successful, but mixing it up with different locations would appeal to more people. There's over 350 establishments here that could be used for dphh events. Here's a small list I threw together off the top of my head: Green Turtle Dragonfly Bar Cafe Asia Eyebar Rock and Roll hotel All of these locations are within 2 blocks of a metro stop. to the "DPHH" - calling someone's name out is out of line. Can't wait to see what others are going to say on here. :D Interesting comments. Of course some people won’t go to this july’s dphh event. If they don’t want to go, then it’s their decision.

It's not like it's mandatory for you to show up. As for small locations...this IS a city. The bigger locations are mostly going to be in the suburbs. Tell me what places can handle a crowd of 300+ folks on a busy Friday (or Saturday) night and not have to worry about being stiffed on tips? If you don’t like the location of DPHH, then DON’T GO.
