They had a great deal on drinks when I was there, it was like 15 dollars for unlimited drinks until 10:00pm? The bartenders were nice and I never had to wait too long for a drink. Drinks were good, nothing to complain about there.
My only issue was with the atmosphere. It was just extremely crowded and there was nowhere really to sit down. This style of setup can be fun if the venue is high energy, but the night I went was mainly just large friend groups standing around awkwardly.
Also I don’t know what was up with the staircase, but it was dripping wet with water and had a foul smell.

Rude bouncers and completely useless. Our friend was not feeling well outside and we tried to bring them water, but were physically dragged back inside because “no cups allowed outside.” Tried to explain it was WATER, but apparently that was too much for them.
If you don’t want to be threatened with a beating, don’t come here. (And yes, they curse you out and threaten you)

Pretty chill spot, but definitely get there before they charge you $15 at the door

I can understand that and appreciate the clarity, it should be implemented next time and not demanded like it's a requirement though. Look forward to coming back🫡

This is a fun little bar. Lots of cool locals and great bartenders. The wings were great and all my mixed drinks were strong. It's a fun bar to have some drinks with friends, or a great place to meet new friends. Gotta love shenanigans!!!!

Atmosphere was so fun and Sam was AMAZING! She had a million people ordering drinks and made her job look easy when it most definitely wasn’t. She was the best!!!

I usually don’t love packed dive bars but this place will always stay at the top of my list of stops. Staff doesn’t seem to turnover nearly as much as other places like it, and somehow they will remember your face or name even if you don’t stop by for months. Any time someone is visiting from out of town and asks for a recommendation, I tell them to go and see Sam on Fridays. Never change!

Sam on the downstairs bar is amazing! Even if it’s busy she maintains her cool with a smile and grace. Major kudos to her and the staff because they put up with a lot of jerks everyday. Thank you, Sam for always a shining star amid all the darkness in the world and the idioms if the world! Give her a raise!

Sam is everything that makes this bar awesome! While being crowded on weekends, she will always receive you with a smile and the least you can do is say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’!!! She’s the sweetest 🫶🏼

This is the best hangout spot in DC. I went on the weekend and we had the best bartender. You could tell she makes all the guests feel welcome and doesn’t hesitate to crack a joke. She has the type of personality that you remember, and you can tell she goes out of her way to establish rapport with each guest. It was very busy, but all I had to do to get a drink is speak up and ask! Will be back to see Sam no doubt.

PLEASE FIRE THE BARTENDER ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR!!! Had her Incredibly rude friend or something sitting in the bar, blocking everyone’s way, who berated everyone who didn’t immediately praise her bartender friend for doing the simple act of pouring a rail drink 🙄 she threw out my drink because I didn’t say “please” and “thank you” after waiting 20 minutes to order a drink. INCREDIBLY RUDE, she should probably think about why she’s not getting any tips if she treats people like that. I will not be coming back ever, do better

I paid $15 to entry and had as many drinks as I wanted from there. Honestly, unbelievably good deal. Drink selection was fairly slim but when it’s free you really can’t complain
