About Shakers

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 and drag performances. 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 delicious, 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.

The staff are the best, and everyone is so welcoming. The drag shows are always so much fun. It is a great queer space in DC, with a lovely outdoor area, and you can order food to be delivered from nearby restaurants. Shakers is an amazing spot that supports our community.
