Drift Reality > Washington, DC >Mie N Yu

According to the homosexual bartender at Mie N Yu, the proprietors (who are the same family who have brought us Cities and a host of other trendy clubs in the area that I don't know) traveled around Asian and spent millions of dollars purchasing what would eventually be the decor of Mie N Yu.

I would describe it as a trendy restaurant/club with an exotic international flavor in Georgetown. When you take into consideration that the last bar to hold the title of "most exotic and international" restaurant/club in Georgetown was probably Champs, I think you'll agree that Mie N Yu is like a breath of fresh air on M street.

Also, it's right down the street from Old Glory, so if you were thinking about going and grabbing a drink at Old nationalistic bordering on jingoistic Glory, forget it. Go to Mie N Yu instead.

Each section of the club/restaurant is sectioned off from the other has a distinct ambience, giving you the distinct impression that you are wandering from bar to bar - all within the confines of the same venue.

There is a unisex bathroom, a DJ behind the bar, a big birdcage (where you can be served a set menu for something ridiculous like $500 per person), and all sorts of exotic accoutrements throughout the place.

So if you find yourself in Georgetown on a Friday or Saturday night, chances are you are a mindless automaton prepster who is in serious need of developing your own style. Just kidding. If you find yourself in Georgetown on a Friday or Saturday night, do yourself a favor and forego Rhino and instead, try Mie N Yu.

Mie N Yu is located at 3125 M Street in Georgetown.
