Shakers is a lively and inclusive LGBTQIA+ bar located in Washington, D.C., known for its welcoming atmosphere and diverse events. The bar offers a vibrant environment with activities throughout the week, including karaoke, drag performances, and DJ sets from 5-9 pm. It features a pretty back atrium that is perfect for large groups, and although the back patio is small, it’s a lovely spot during the summer. Drinks are expertly crafted, with a full cocktail bar in the back, and there are often discounted rail drinks. The bar’s modern, mid-century style sets it apart from other local venues. Accessibility is a priority with an open layout and no steps at the entrance, making it easy for everyone to enjoy.
From fun-filled nights of drag shows and karaoke to community events like Drag Story Hours, Shakers always has something exciting happening. The staff, including bartenders like Kevin, are welcoming and create a judgment-free, top-notch experience. Whether visitors are regulars or first-timers, they can enjoy a memorable and inclusive experience at Shakers.
