As per my usual routine of finding new places to imbibe I came across a new bar with some friends Saturday ( August 2nd ) night. This is a true story by the way. You may have remembered THE ANGRY INCH in Adams Morgan but to my suprise, and level of sobriety, I realized that it had been replaced with an establishment called....TRUE STORY. I thought nothing of it as I walked past as we were on a mission, but the vocal door man was selling his @$$ off trying to get some press for his new joint. ( one can only imagine why The Angry Inch shut down, a bar shutting down in Adams Morgan is pretty sorry because AM has a built in clientele of DC's hardest drinkers ) I digress. The door man says no cover, free shot with a drink, so we go in. Sure as $h!t, it was. I bought a round of 3 beers for the guys and 2 cocktails for the ladies....tab = 23.00$...plus 5 shots. In the biz, we call this a jackpot, at least for most places in DC. One can only assume they are keeping prices low to build up a buzz but I am not going to complain. The decor was wacky/industrial but the staff was fun and the place wasnt packed. Again, maybe due to its infancy. Music was loud enough to dance with someone...if you want to dance on the ground level of a place called True Story, but not so loud you couldnt have a conversation with the bachlorette party. SO, all in all, a good deal and a fun couple of drinks. As an addition, there again thursday night and they were giving away 2 for 1 drinks. Get this while you can people! True Story.

The King Penguin says a strong 4. The only thing now is to watch and wait....and get cheap booze while you can. This place stays cool in 3 months we will have ourselves a little re-visit, until then, keep up the fun.
