Are wine bars the next bistro? Following closely on the heels of Proof and Sonoma, Veritas Wine Bar will be opening next Monday, September 17. The list is largely composed of Euro-style California wines, with over 50 available by the glass starting at $8 and going up to $28. Also available are various red and white flights, chosen by varietal, region or cutesy names like "m&m&m" and "Mick's picks". Three deadly zins, anyone? The web...

This week's Overheard entries were a little slim, and with that in mind, we thought perhaps an assignment was in order. Don't worry, we're not springing a pop quiz on you on a Friday, and this is nothing like that dream you had where you walked into class naked. Unless you want it to be. That's your business. But here in Washington, we have no shortage of places to eavesdrop on the unsuspecting, and that's...

Catherine Andrews contributed to these picks FRIDAY: >> Okay, so it's not quite as groovy as the sing-along versions that swept the country over the last few years, but if you're looking for something a little bit fun and a whole lot wholesome tonight, you could do worse than the National Symphony Orchestra accompanying "The Wizard of Oz" on the lawn at the Wolf Trap. 8:30 p.m., $18 to $38.

We here at DCist love happy hours. After all, we've thrown a few ourselves (at The Reef, Big Hunt, Biddy Mulligan's, and Chief Ike's Mambo Room), and we try to emerge from behind our computers now and then to attend those put on by fellow bloggers, residents, and activists.

Think that there isn't a middle ground between highbrow cultural esthetics and the baser pleasures of reality TV? Well, there's a new kid on the DC arts scene that wants to prove otherwise. Barrelhouse, a DC-based, independent literary magazine straddles the line between popular culture and literary criticism very well. Their first print issue is a mix of poetry, fiction, essays and an interview with the lovely Emmylou Harris. Barrelhouse does literary the way we like it, engaging, unpretentious, with a sense of humor and plenty of OC references. As well as putting out two issues a year, Barrelhouse publishes original pieces online on a regular basis. Head over there now and you'll find work from local authors and artists.

We'd like to thank everyone who made it out to our happy hour tonight at the Big Hunt in their newly renovated basement bar, "Satan's Kitchen." Yes, DCist contributors and readers mingled amid satanic imagery, and a good time was had by all, as far as we know. Someone earned a free drink after guessing Mike's elaborate riddle, which he's promised to explain in another post. Click beyond the jump for more photos!

We've gotten some private feedback that the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's clues for the DCist pre-happy hour trivia challenge may have been too challenging. Well, don't fear, the final installment should tie all of the clues together. Through some basic Google searching you should be able to put everything together. A map may be handy too. By now you know the rules to win the free drink at this evening's DCist happy hour at the Big Hunt.

When we announced that we'd be hosting our second-ever DCist happy hour, we thought it'd be good to resurrect the DCist trivia challenge.

Take a break from the holiday mayhem and come and have a few drinks with DCist! We're holding our second happy hour at The Big Hunt near Dupont Circle next Thursday, Dec. 16, 6 - 9 p.m.

If you weren't able to snag a ticket to the official Democratic, Republican, third-party-of-choice Election Night parties, there are plenty of election-related activities this evening. The Post has a complete round-up here, but DCist wants to highlight a few events.
