Polly's Cafe - U Street, DC

DC likes to "revitalize" it's neighborhoods one at a time. One of the most recent victims of this "painting over the ugly bits" venture is the U Street area. Elite condo's and posh restuarants interrupt the regular flow of dives and crackhouses. One of my favorite dives is Polly's.

Polly has decent priced domestic drafts and a modest but yummy menu. Unfortunately the restroom leaves much to be desired. It's not bad, considering where it is... in a dive bar in a DC basement. Anything underground in DC is bound to have some yuck... or even possibly explode on occaision.

It's a spunky little one room place with a mini-sink. It's hard to find because it's behind the kitchen staff standing around talking to each other at the end of the bar. I think it used to be a broom closet. I would say the toilet is only a cover, but anything of mine that touches the floor is definitely staying there.
