Like the double-faced Janus, there are two Smith Points. One is the Georgetown restaurant loved by neighbors for its food, the other is the exclusive club environment that gets going later toward midnight, made famous by two infamous patrons, the Bush twins. And numerous people (including these women who were apparently White House interns last summer who posted their W.H. photos on Webshots) have followed in their wake.

As some community interests in Georgetown continue to challenge the Smith Point’s liquor license over the crowds and noise associated with the basement establishment, the West End Guide in its June edition profiles the two Smith Points.

And Smith Point is stuck between a rock and a hard place because of its occupancy constraints, which is set at 85 people. Robert Blair tells the West End Guide:

“The people inside don’t have a good time because they think it’s empty,” he said, “and the people outside are mad because they can’t get in. We need a higher occupancy to stay in business.”

Ever wonder what they drink in such an exclusive place? $4 Miller Lites and $10 Red Bull and vodkas.

>> DCist on the twins putting Smith Point in jeopardy and potential choices for Jen and Barb’s new watering hole. We’d like to say congrats to Kriston Capps of Grammar.police, who in comments said: “Hell? Oh, I kid — it had to be said. I’m sure I’ll see them at Saint Ex.” His prediction was right.
