Welcome to Bar Crawl Living where we find some worthy domiciles within stumbling distance of a neighborhood hotspot. If there's a place you want us to scope out, leave a comment or send word to our tipline.
Don't think about ordering a French martini in this quintessential townie bar because it'll probably be a vodka on the rocks when it's all said and done. Located on Penn Ave in quasi-Capitol Hill, quasi-Eastern Market, Tune Inn has everything one would expect of a local watering hole, including neighborhood characters. And there are plenty of reasons why these characters haven't left the nabe: it's hot (in the real estate sense), it's warm (in the welcoming sense), and it's picante (in the unique sense). So no matter the price point, after a few shots at Tune Inn, make your way back to one of these awesome properties in an awesome hood.
