Description
Think back to the days of prohibition where you couldn't even speak about "drinking" in public. The days of moonshine, rum runners, and speakeasies were only rumored about unless you were in their inner circles. Social events, casinos, and private parties all got their liquor from their underground suppliers. Relive those days (not that we were alive then) when you visit the PX in Old Town. There is no sign outside, no obvious markings on the building, and no indication of what lies inside. Mysterious, I should hope so. Located at Columbus and King Streets, the only tell-tale sign to look for is the odd blue light that shines above a medieval looking door with a small covered slide window. Ring the door bell and someone inside will slide the window open. Your answer: "I'm here for the PX". Enter the days of prohibition? The PX offers the most splendid assortment of exotic drinks you'll find anywhere. Here are some reviews of the PX: Washington Post Yelp Metblogs BarDC My story: I spend a ton of time in Old Town just burning away Mon and Wed nights. On many occasions, I've sat in my car at the Columbus/King intersection waiting for the light to change. On more than one occasion I noticed the blue light entrance, but on one occasion I noticed someone at the door. He rang the bell, waited, and then went in. I could see the upstairs through the windows, but I couldn't quite tell what was going on up there. I was intrigued. My mind was racing with: "What exactly is going on up there?" Come with us to find out! Directions: Take King Street (Route 7) towards the Potomac River. At the Columbus/King Street intersection, turn RIGHT. The PX blue light/door is on your left.
