Emily Brown always dreamed of opening a place where the bartender greets you by name, and the regulars down the block bring a small Christmas present to the staff who take care of them. The kind of place you go to gossip with a friend over drinks—then discover, oh hey, this food is really great too. And maybe you stick around and get to know someone new.

If you're tired of $20 cocktails (everyone?), put Eeebee's Corner Bar in Shaw on your hit list.

Why it matters: Nothing beats a local bar with wallet-friendly drinks, friendly vibes and a club sandwich.

Driving the news: Eeebee's Corner Bar has been drawing lines in Shaw since opening last week.

Eebee’s Corner Bar just opened in Shaw last weekend, but its well executed burger, beer list, and right-at-home feels already have the tight knit Northwest neighborhood’s full attention (1840 6th Street NW). It may be a dive on paper, but the promising new establishment is more than that. Eebee’s represents a years-long culmination of meticulous thought and effort from its first-time owner and beer aficionado Emily Brown.
