FOOD AND DRINK: Rustico (827 Slaters Lane, Alexandria), the popular beer bar, is celebrating its fifth birthday this week. To celebrate, several of Rustico’s original bartenders, including ChurchKey beer director Greg Engert and manager-bartender Nahem Simon, will come back and do some pouring. All 30 of the restaurant’s drafts will be $5 from 5 p.m. until close.

MOVIE: The Washington Psychotronic Film Society screens 1960’s The Subterraneans — the film version of Jack Kerouac’s novel of the same name about Beatniks taking over the world starring jazz legend Gerry Mulligan — at The Passenger (1021 7th Street NW). Free, but a $2 donation is suggested. 8 p.m.

MUSIC: Phosphorescent sounds like a ray of sunlight entering a room at sunrise: bright and ethereal. Their sound has become more fleshed out as creator Matthew Houck started writing more songs with the full band in mind, and they’ll be bringing that sense of wonderment through D.C. on Tuesday. Family Band opens the show at Red Palace (1212 H St NE). $14. 8:30 p.m.

>> Show of the night honors likely go to the …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead / Surfer Blood / True Widow triple bill at the Rock and Roll Hotel (1353 H Street NE) — but good luck finding yourself a ticket. 7 p.m.

HIP-HOP: Atlanta-based recording artist Anthony David will bring his talents to Blues Alley (1069 Wisconsin Avenue NW) for two performances, of which the 8 p.m. show is already sold out. $25 + $12.50 minimum/surcharge. 10 p.m.
