Probably the best news to come out of the national capital lately is that another new bar has opened, Honky Tonks. What a relief from all the other political noise. Getting straight into it, the locals seem to be wrapped with their latest addition and the venue is giving them a raft of tipples to taste while taking in the creatively cool interior. The wine list is pretty strong with some good tastes of local and international juice and the food is sure to keep you filled while you work your way through the cocktails and beers.
“We’re a world authority on hot dogs,” says the team, “and we’re pretty good at tacos too.” There’s a range of Small Stuff ($4) like, chips and salsa served with guacamole and a dash of lime; Bigger Stuff ($5) like their range of ‘dogs’ including the NY Chili & Cheese Dog and the house made tacos. The vibe is cool and the crowd is interested in a good time and a great night – so give the politics a miss and go take a look.
