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!

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.
