Obviously, I'm more into celebrating the Gallic than the Gaelic, but it is Saint Patrick's Day and it is a big deal around here. Never one to miss toasting a big holiday, Drink the District is back with its second Cloverfest at Yards Park. The beer-centric event will feature unlimited sampling and full pours from over 20 breweries and cider houses like Sam Adams, Lancaster Brewing Company, Atlas Brew Works, Brewery Ommegang or Brewer's Alley Restaurant & Brewery. And of course, since it's Saint Paddy's Day there will be a very special green beer ;-) Hopefully, the weather will be nice because there will also be dueling piano shows, giant Jenga, beer pong and other backyard games ...

It will be followed by a panel discussion with Administration ...

Champagne and Dine Giveaway
Any restaurant that features a champagne happy hour, hosts free French movie showings and has duck confit on its menu is likely to be high on my list of places I love to frequent. So I'm delighted to be able to offer two lucky readers the opportunity to wine champagne and dine at Napoleon Bistro and Lounge in Adams Morgan courtesy of CityEats.
