Casual- no-frills

So one thing that I really like doing from time to time (sometimes more frequent than that) is going down to my neighborhood bar and grabbing a brewsky and relax with mes amis! Unfortunently the area of DC I live in is pretty darn residential and seriously lack local bars. Which is why I venture into the diverse quarters of DC to find my neighborhood favorites.
I'm working up a decent list. The newest addition was introduced to me this past weekend, American Ice Co. in the U street area

I really like this place! It has a casual no-frills environment which I really like! Great beer selection (a little on the pricey side) and a decent sized patio which was terrific! Totally recommend this place if your looking for a "hipster-chic" bar haha... I saw that in a review I read about the place.
