WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Momo's Sports Bar celebrated its recent arrival to the U Street neighborhood with a private launch party last night. More than 125 guests enjoyed Momotinis courtesy of Belvedere and draft beer sponsored by Coors Light -- the official beer of the NFL. A search light that could be seen from around the city greeted guests while the cool grooves of DJ Chris Burns filled the sleek three-level townhouse.

Attendees sampled Momo's signature BBQ wings, baby-back ribs, and polish boys -- all created by managing partner and Miami catering guru Dale O'Stricker.

Momo's resides in a converted townhouse space in the heart of Washington's trendy U Street neighborhood. The sports bar boasts 18 flat screen televisions, two full bars, and a private VIP party room on the third level. The sleek-but-cozy bar's second-floor space features a handful of comfy couches -- sure to become coveted real estate for the Super Bowl this Sunday.

The bar offers $2.50 domestic beers and $10 pitchers on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights. Bargoers are treated to celebratory glasses of sparkling wine after every Redskins win. In addition to a regular DJ and live reggae bands, the bar has plans to host Nintendo Wii tournaments on Wednesday nights.

The opening benefited the charity Ball For All (www.ballforall.org). Founded in 2004 by three enterprising Peace Corps volunteers, Ball For All promotes opportunities for African youth through sports and education. Ball For All provides equipment, uniforms, school fees and academic prizes for girls and boys who are developing leadership and team skills while learning to play team sports.

"On behalf of Ball for All, I would like to thank Momo's for supporting our organization as we strive to increase organized sporting opportunities for young school children in Africa," said Ball for All board member and founder Jeffrey Chatellier. "Sports teach children important life skills and empower them to do great things off the field. The donations from last night will help children in Africa become great athletes and future leaders in their communities."

Momo's Sports Bar is located at 1334 U Street NW and is open from 4:00 p.m until 1:00 a.m Monday through Thursday, from 4:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. on Friday, from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m. on Saturdays and 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. on Sunday.
