Corcoran Gallery of Art’s 1869 Society presents the fifth annual ARTINI
Anyone who’s ever spent any significant amount of time working behind a bar, or even guzzling at the bar for that matter, will tell you that mixology is an art. Gone are the days where pouring a can of coke over a shot of Jack passed as a cocktail. The past decade has seen a mixology revolution that has produced cocktails lists that rival many wine lists with new inventive ways to sip your spirits, as well as a resurgence of classic cocktails of decades past.

Logan Tavern to Deck the Walls Green for Paddy’s Day
It’s a rare partying soul not reveling in all things Irish on St. Patrick’s Day — specifically the sport of drinking, which apparently the world thinks we have mastered. Not to be left out, Logan Tavern will be blasting Irish tunes, serving up traditional fare, and pouring beer specials till your eyes turn green.
Wear green and choose from a free appetizer, dessert, or Stoli doly shot…If you’re thinking that now’s the time to check out their Warm Bittersweet Chocolate Fudge Cake you’ve been drooling over I’m going to interject with this: Paddy Up and Get Drinking!

Samuel Beckett’s One Year Anniversary Party
You’re invited to get down Irish style as Samuel Beckett’s celebrates one year since opening their bold red doors in Shirlington Village. When asked why this particular location, owner Mark Kirwan responded in true Irish-form stating “No other Irish had claimed land here yet — there was a void and we needed to fill it.” And fill it they did, and will! On Sunday, January 8th, the party starts rocking at 7 PM with live music by Small Town and complimentary bites to nosh on as you delve into another Magners Irish Cider or the perfect pint of Guinness (this girl would know). As if that wasn’t tempting enough, Beckett’s will be raffling off a $1200 travel voucher for Ireland from Isle Inn Tours…
