    I just received a phone call and was asked to pass this along....

    Keep in mind, I haven't heard this from Jimmy, (owner of The Exchange), yet as he is out of town until Thursday. So until I receive confirmation on this deal, please regard this as rumor.

    DCU and The Exchange are working on a deal for all of the away games to be shown there. Also, when possible, one player who is not in the game that night, will be "Guest" Bartender.

    Hopefully I will have more details to share by Saturday. So now you all know where Dave Brother and I will be this Friday evening......Anyone else recuperated enough from last Friday yet? :)

    I can confirm some DCU staffers had a VERY good meeting there last Friday.

    Stay tuned for further developments...

    Good place. We had the November Happy Hour there and they really took care of us...Those gratis Lemon Drops were quite nice. :)

    I still haven't decided which I liked best, the complimentary Lemon Drops or the 2 hour extention of Happy Hour prices... :)

    This sounds like DCU won't have all of the away games on TV again this year...

    From the Exchange web site:

    "Known as Washington, DC's oldest saloon, founded in 1973..."

    WTF? Did Nixon shut down all the bars? Can any of you natives explain this?

    Not that I wouldn't travel there to see a game or two...

    Well I know that the Tombs in Georgetown has been continuously operating same location since 1963. (I worked there, so I cheated)

    Plus the Old Ebbitt Grill and Red Robin Bar @ The Williard have existed in name since the 1850's.

    So I'm not really sure.

    last year Georgetown Station or something like that on M street through a pretty good away game party for the DCu vs. Columbus game..me and 3 friends went and you got the game and all you could drink Bud Light's for $10....what a deal! I'd be up for the Exchange for away games sounds like a good idea.

    This is glorious news. I hope all the away games are shown somewhere.

    Of course, I'll be springing for MLS Shootout again this year...so I figure I can watch them at home if they won't be shown else...

    Probably because most other places call themselves 'bars' or 'nightclubs' or other more modern names.
