Some of the friendliest bar staff I’ve ever encountered. Totally relaxed atmosphere, great drink specials, safe neighborhood.
A great little “dive bar” in DuPont Circle. Not pretentious, laid back, great bartenders, and excellent mixology skills.
It’s a good a homey vibe.

JR’s Bar on 17th St NW in Washington DC is a fantastic spot for a fun night out. With a lively atmosphere, friendly staff, and great drink specials, it’s a perfect place to meet new friends and enjoy a memorable evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the vibrant DC LGBTQ+ scene!

Chill Sunday night drink - friendly staff and nice vibe
Great little gay bar with friendly staff and fun Showtunes on Saturday evenings! Drinks were cheap. Very dive kind of environment! They were busy, but the staff was very efficient!

I always go here whilst in DC as I only drink in Italy or at a gay bar -- mostly because I am cheap. I love JR's loft to people watch. Everyone in DC is very amusing -- from the type a consultants to the managers of mcmanagement to the soulless federal employees to the socialites who haven't discovered southern California is a far superior place to live in every measurable way. I always bring my posh/bougie friend (also Californian) who always asks if they have a wine list / drinks menu. We've been twice over the course of a year and ordered the same thing both times and both the drink and bill were smaller for #2. The nice bartender made a NA drink for my friend who decided he didn't like it after consuming two thirds of it (posh people... am I right?) Overall, a great affordable place to absorb the warm hvac, people watch, and have a drink.

Fantastic service and experience from our bartender Mike! Great follow-up experience after an incredibly disappointing and hostile experience at Larry’s, another nearby gay bar, earlier that night.
