DC finance meetup / networking group

Moved here two months ago to work at a small multi-strategy Asset Management company as a quant. I found it really hard to meet/network with finance people compared to NYC (obviously but much harder than I thought). Was wondering if there is a regular meet up or happy hour thing for the rare group of finance people in DC. Would be nice to know you all!

It hasn't been mentioned yet but has anyone been to Front Page? It has some of the best Wednesday specials. Never been to 18th street lounge before but it's been recommended by coworkers.

 

Big Hunt has good brews. I haven't been in town on a Monday - Wednesday in a long time though, so not sure about anyone's weekly specials in Dupont.

18th Street will be packed no matter the fucking day. Circa is decent, but the layout is a little awkward. My vote would be for Ozio Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge. On a Wednesday, it should be relatively empty.
