I used to consider myself a regular at DC's FAC--until a few nights ended a little on the early side and I decided to stick with waiting until its dark to go out. But, when I do go to FAC, I go to DC's. It always ends up being a safe choice if you want to avoid huge mobs and the constant voice from behind you nudging you in the back to move so they can slide past. Of course the one weekend my entire group of friends gets it together and makes it out the door by 5:30pm sharp...it's an absolute mob scene.

Typically we head straight up the stairs and hangout up there, but we spotted a table in the far left hand corner of the bar. At first seemed to good to be true with amongst a mob of that size but once we got to it we realized a mega sized speaker was blasting music directly down onto the table to the point a scream would not even get the attention of the person directly next to you. All was right in the world when the cocktail waitress delivered our first round of $3 Steins of beer / Fishbowls of mixed drinks which were phenomenal.

Not only is it a ridiculously good deal, but the service despite the mobs was oddly prompt and accurate. We sat in silence (despite the blaring of strange boy -band emo music i.e. fall out boy, in our ears), without talking just because that wasn't an option, and people watched while downing our over-size icy beverages.

The night proceed a block down at Spo-Co, which also sported a ridiculously good Friday night deal. They had huge $3 mixed drinks in some sort of jar type glass. Spo-co managed the crown much more efficiently than DC's, and topped their emo jam's as well.

Next friday stop #1 = spo co.
