Larry’s is a Washington DC institution. Friendly, open-minded, welcoming, long pours. Just thank you for existing.

Larry's Lounge is a pretty chill gay bar. Downstairs is pretty cozy, and there is also outdoor patio seating. Great prices for drinks, and the bartenders have always been pretty professional. Great neighborhood bar!

This place is an absolute dive bar. That being said, the patrons are very neighborhood oriented and friendly. The drinks are cheap and the outdoor seating is great.

This is a great bar, just want to point out that the patio is not accessible. It's a shame on a beautiful day like today.

The freindliest 'neighborhood' bar in DC. These are some of the most interesting people I have met.

The drinks were fine, but the service was not to my standards. Not very welcome at all. I have been to other gay bars in DC several months ago and this one I will probably never return.

May be a good spot for its regulars but as a tourist visiting for the first time, I did not find the place to be very welcoming. Tried to place an order for a drink at the bar many times but one of the bartenders was too busy socialising with some regulars and the other one did not seem to care much. Even when they did take my order, something seemed a bit off with the conversation. Strongly felt out of place. They did not want me there.
Overall not a very welcoming experience. Suggest going elsewhere

I loved this bar. It is a gay bar, very friendly with non binary and trans people. The drinks are fine and the prices are reasonable, but they don’t have plenty of options of beers.

Would give them a 0 if I could. Went in to use their restrooms and visit a gay bar in DC. First, there wasn’t a bouncer at the door so no one was checking ID so we were able to just walk in. Then we tried going downstairs and the bartender stops us and proceeds to ask for IDs. My friend and I both give our IDs which were out of state, but that shouldn’t matter. The bartender proceeds to take our IDs and goes back to check them with the light. Bartender proceeds to get another coworker to double check I suppose? The bartender comes back, gives us our IDs back (which if the bartender thought they were fake, shouldn’t have returned them) and essentially turns us away without giving a clear answer to why. There was no logical explanation to why my friend and I were turned away. Overall very rude interaction.

I hate to leave a review that’s anything less than positive, but I had a really unpleasant experience here with the staff being standoffish and unwelcoming. It seems like the kind of place that has an established crowd of regulars and anyone else is an inconvenience.

I loved this place until I was disrespected by the owner. When he came in the bartender asked him to identify a picture for me. I asked if I could shake his hand. He turned his back to me and walked away. I bought for others, and I left a good tip. I do not understand his blatant disrespect.
