The good: This place is still a typical gay bar with mostly gays, where the vibe is full testosterone in spite of an occasional fem bitchy (itchy) boy, not an issue and I love them. The music is great, the place has made some needed improvement such as newer bathrooms. Still the bars are the same as I remember from 10 years ago.

Ricky and Ed are the best bartenders in town and even if you show up just for happy hour, the regulars are the kindest people you’ll meet. no complaints- it’s what a gay dive bar should be. (DC Swamp Water pictured- get you one!)
