As You Are is a laid-back hangout spot with an undeniably chill atmosphere, perfect for unwinding or socializing. It is known as one of the few well-protected safe spaces in Washington DC, mainly serving the queer community. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming environment with great vibes and wholesome energy. The food is good, including a tasty tuna sandwich with gluten free bread, and their hot & cold cocktail menu is highly recommended. The venue hosts well-curated events like drag shows and panels, emphasizing safe space and queer joy. Downstairs feels like a comfy dim coffeehouse vibe for writing or relaxing, while upstairs transforms into whatever it needs to be with a fantastic DJ and amazing music. The drinks are great, appropriately priced, and delicious. Overall, As You Are offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and is a beloved oasis for the local and visiting queer community.
