Chicken Pesto Pizza

“Great bar and really a must try for the area. Staff were amazing, drinks were great, and the music was awesome. Had so much fun dancing all night, and the bar itself has so many floors that you never get bored.

A standout has to be the videogame room. Was completely surprised when we stumbled across this, and it made our night.

Very cool bar, will absolutely go back.“

“One of the classiest establishments in DC. Great service, excellent drinks, great location in Logan Circle.

Outdoor seating is limited, and it can get packed, but definitely one of my favourite spots in town if you’re looking for more of the classier spot and not a dive bar.“

Malbec

“Trade is one of the only top three gay bars in my list that makes the cut for not only a gay bar but also an inclusive space for everyone. The rest of the gay bars unfortunately, do not make the list of three but if there is improvement, could potentially earn a spot.Every time I go it’s mostly a diverse crowd. Hopefully they’re able to expand next door!The only downside I would say is some Bartenders not just here but also in other bars as well, please smile more and be more engaging with customers if the venue is not busy. I’m not going to tip you for mediocre or even adequate service - just because you made a drink that took a minute but rather, will tip you if you demonstrate who you are as a Bartender (e.g. knowing my name if I’m a regular, asking how I’m doing, etc.).“

Shakers Gay Bar • $$
2014 9th St NW, Washington

“Friends suggested I check out Shakers while I was in town and I am so glad I did. Kevin was bartending and did a phenomenal job of welcoming the out of town peeps while also serving the regulars. If I lived here, this would be a regular spot. If you’re looking for a judgement free, top notch experience - stop in here.“

A League Of Her Own Gay Bar • $
2319 18th St NW, Washington

“I absolutely love having one of the few lesbian bars in the country so close to where I’m living. The vibes are absolutely amazing, and I love the new gaming consoles. They have great events practically every night they’re open and the drinks are very fairly priced. The trivia on Thursday nights is great, and the crowd is cool. My favorite place to go out here in DC honestly“

Green Lantern Gay Bar • $
1335 Green Ct NW, Washington

“It was time to celebrate after covid and I made sure to hit this place up nightly when in DC. from karaoke to full on second floor dance parties there is everyone and everything here to celebrate fully. The bartenders are wonderful and we appreciate the amounts of red wine we consumed while enjoying our times here. Thank you!“

The Fireplace Bar • $
2161 P St NW, Washington

“AMAZING! best bar i went to in the DC area. it’s a little small but there’s two floors so don’t worry about that! the community here is tight-knit, strong, but WELCOMING. i felt right at home a thousand miles away from home. Ricky and Ed are the best bartenders in town and even if you show up just for happy hour, the regulars are the kindest people you’ll meet. no complaints- it’s what a gay dive bar should be. (DC Swamp Water pictured- get you one!)“
