For a first introduction, HG Lodge blew me away.

I came here during the Capitol Hill Block Party to take a breather from the crowds and I came expecting that I wouldn't dig the place.  I was so wrong.  HG Lodge, you are dug.

The Redwood has morphed into my go to bar on the hill.  

The scene on the hill on weekends walks the fine line between bearable and terrible.  However, despite its charms, Redwood remains for the most part unscathed from the overcrowding of…More »

I normally come to Broadway Grill for one of three reasons.
