When someone mentioned The Tombs, there were two responses
that I felt. One, it didn’t sound like somewhere I would like to go. Two, I
thought it was a restaurant by virtue of the fact that there was a restaurant
(a rather popular one) back in the early 1800s. I was out-voted and finally, we
decided to ask the Washington DC
charter bus rental driver to bring us round to 36th
Street Northwest where The Tombs was located.
For lack of a better word, I was ‘surprised’ to find that the
atmosphere was not as tomb-ish as I had expected. I thought it would be
something a little clammy or dark and it would awaken the claustrophobic side
of me – but it was delightful instead. The design of The Tomb is decidedly classy
and nautical. Loved the effort they made to decorate the walls with OARS! But
it puzzled me, then, why did they have to turn people like me off with a name
like The Tomb.
The best way to find your way there is to make use of a Washington
DC charter bus rental package because it’s not
an easy place to find. Granted, if you know where Georgetown
University is, you’d have no
problem because it’s sitting right outside of the campus entrance! With that
said, you can imagine the kind of crowd there….yes, mostly college students out
to goof off and have some fun.
They serve up a reasonably good meal but don’t go there
expecting gourmet meals because they have simple stuff like soups, salads,
desserts and burgers, at best - something to chew on while drinking. The price
is reasonable. I chatted with the bar tender for a while and he said that on
Sundays, they have a brunch menu after mass and it’s kind of a tradition that
they hold true to their principle.
The most interesting thing about this place that made me
fall in love with it is the decoration; I’ll be honest about that. When you’re
out to have a relaxing evening with friends, the last thing you want is
linoleum floor, waxed walls and stainless steel chairs to sit on. Here, you get
wooden booths and earthy colors and tones. Very much American and
down-to-earth, really. Sometimes, they have the guys singing acapella songs to
entertain you while you drink….we didn’t get that when I was there.
Organize a Washington DC
charter bus rental visit there if you’re out to have a relaxing evening out
with friends. Avoid it if you’re looking for a romantic candlelit dinner or
want to catch up with friends because you may need to scream your throat sore
to have a good conversation.
