Shakers is one of my favorite bars in DC. The space is one of the largest out of all the gay bars and can accommodate whatever vibe you are looking for. The Saturday night drag show is the best in DC. Don’t miss it!

Shakers is hands down one of the best bars in D.C. The atmosphere is always lively but never overwhelming — everyone just seems genuinely happy to be there. The staff are incredibly friendly, quick, and attentive, even on the busiest nights. Drinks are strong, well-made, and reasonably priced for how good they are. The drag shows are phenomenal — full of talent, humor, and heart — and the crowd is always supportive and fun. You can tell the place really values community and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. It’s the kind of spot that keeps you coming back again and again because it just feels good to be there.

Awesome queer space in DC with a great patio and mean cocktail (frothy martinis). Always have great events and drag shows throughout the week and cozy space for the winter!

They add 20% mandatory service charge - regardless of quality of service - but do not inform of this and can’t even issue a receipt. Tips should be voluntary and you should dispute with your card company.
