"A solid dive bar is important to have in your date night rotation and Sticky Rice on H Street gives that grungy vibe without the sticky floors and questionable smells. Decorations like the huge gong behind the bar or the paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling add flair. Grab a high-back wooden booth if you’re looking for extra privacy, but like any good dive bar, no one is paying much attention to you. Also like most dive bars, the drinks are strong, but the food isn’t the best, so expect decent noodles and OK sushi. The Sweet Jesus bucket of tots is your best bet if you’re just looking to keep the two of you upright (or three, we don't judge) as you work your way through the drink menu. Try the pina colada sake, which is unexplainable, but worth every sip." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
