Adams Morgan can appear like any other college drinking strip, especially if you stick to 18th St. and don't venture into some of the smaller ethnic places. El Rincon Espanol is a Cuban restaurant and lounge featuring caribbean cooking, and even more smoking Cuban jazz and salsa. Upstairs holds the Tropical Lounge, a small venue (20 seats) and bandstand. This is a very friendly atmosphere, and on Thursdays you can find most of DC's latin musicians here to hang out, jam, and tell stories. The owner came out to offer delicious free chicken and rice to all the patrons. When was the last time a restauranteur offered you comida gratis? Check it out.
Pros: Warm atmosphere, smokin' latin music
Cons: Small room, pricey drinks
Details: 18th and Columbia Rd, Adams Morgan
