Salahis stiffed Hay Adams bartender after leaving state dinner

The Hay-Adams Hotel, across Lafayette Park from the White House. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post, file)So, you just left a state dinner! What are you going to do next? For Tareq and Michaele Salahi, the answer was drinks at the Hay-Adams hotel -- where they walked out on the bill, according to sources close to the matter.

After the couple departed the White House a little before 9 p.m. the night of Nov. 24, they apparently walked across Lafayette Square to the historic hotel at 16th and H streets and down to the Off the Record bar tucked in the lower level.

Unclear what they ordered or how long they stayed, but they were still dressed in their now-instantly recognizable red Indian gown and tux. At some point, Tareq slapped down $20 -- "for the tip," he announced -- but said he had left his credit cards in the car. They never returned to pay the drink tab, the sources say.
