A typical D.C. sports bar with a wall-sized hi-def screen and eleven TVs showing baseball, hockey and CNN, The Exchange Saloon is a GWU and tourist favorite located next to the White House. The food is typical American, with a few Greek dishes such as souvlaki and gyros -- a salute to the Greek heritage of the owner. Hamburgers and buffalo wings are favorites at this Foggy Bottom bar, with free spiced shrimp served at 6 p.m. every Friday.
