Last night's happy hour: Beating the heat at Nellie's

What heat? The patio at Nellie's was the cool place to be last night (All photos by Dakota Fine/FTWP)

While several of the Going Out Gurus made the mistake of walking the 1.2 miles from Guru HQ to Nellie's yesterday afternoon, the reward was well worth the sweat-soaked shirts; the sports bar's patio was the very chill scene of July's Going Out Guide happy hour, where a few $2 drinks did wonders to cool everyone's core temperature. Folks dined on hot dogs and hummus, and one lucky winner walked away with two tickets to see the Dave Matthews Band at Nationals Park. Folks were happy, and by evening's end they were even happier as the triple-digit temperatures had noticeably abated.

If you missed us yesterday, join us on the second Thursday in August for our next happy hour. Keep watching this blog; we'll post the details as soon as they're finalized. In the meantime, check out more photos from last night's shenanigans after the jump.
