50 Best Bars near District Heights

“This place was a full-on vibe. Black people are having a good time. No drama, no confrontation, no attitude... what I got was potent drinks, DJ that was spinning, and no problems taking requests. The owner is cool af... GO ARMY., works hard to keep B64 clean and safe, and was enjoying himself just as everybody else (all while making money and getting paid). I want that job. Sasha cool af keeping the hookah going and Sky, who kept the bar hydrated... yeah, security was there to pat us down, but it's District Heights (no offense DH'rs), they are just keeping us safe... Bryan, I'll be back to support.“

“This is my local liquor store for wine and spirits.Great prices. The staff is very friendly and I'm glad they recognize me and always speak. Store is very neat and clean. Very wide selection of alcohol.Plenty of parking and had a drive thru for convenience. They have 2 food trucks on the property as well.“

“Looking for a local bar that you can chill with your friends and/or can pregame for your night out? Torobar is it. Your local neighbor bar where you can grab a drink, but also get lit for a night out. Immaculate vibes and friendly staff. Definitely a place I’d recommend.“

“From the cocktails to the service…our experience was top notch all around! Highly recommend!“

“Adam was a great server , he made me an awesome nonalcoholic beverage . & def recommend the steak taco. The pickled jalapeños are delicious . & music is good.“

“I came across this place by chance while walking around Washington, and it was such a great discovery! The concept is really cool — they have a self-serve tap system with around 99 different drink options to choose from, which was totally new to me. It’s a fun and interactive experience. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious too. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone“

“it's about time! Mocktails are my jam these days. Thanks so much for opening a cool bar I don't have to worry about a drunk fight or gun shots breaking out.“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“Go there very often. Love the place, food drinks and the vibes. The place also looks great, seems to be in a tent. Their appetizers kills and the tajines are great as well as cous cous or the roast chicken. Drinks are very creative and super balanced. Love it“

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊“

“The food was amazing and the service was great“

“This review is dedicated to those reviewers who say Ama’s food is either ‘bland’ or they were ‘still hungry’ after eating there-

this is because you are used to eating at restaurants that use fake ingredients and artificial flavor enhancers, as do most in the country, so sorry but you have no idea what real food tastes like. Ama makes real food, intentionally and wholeheartedly. They partner with local farmers, cook with real ingredients, and create a menu that will leave you feeling satiated and wonderful, as my friends and i did even after we ate through the menu AND ordered 4 desserts at the end.

so yeah, their food isn’t ‘bland’ , you probably have just never tasted food that wasn’t grown in a lab and loaded with artificial flavoring and addictive chemicals. try harder!“

“Amazing drinks. Amazing atmosphere. So happy for this team (Jane Jane) for expanding across the city! 12/10 for sure.

Drinks pictured are the Devil in a Red Dress( rocks glass) and Midnight Bloom (coupe). I didn’t get to partake in the cheese puffs but I’m very sure it was an honest mistake. So next time! While I don’t normally like tequila based drinks, the Devil in a Red Dress was a hit! Highly recommend!“

“Just an all-around wonderful experience, I was able to pull right up sit down with my lovely puppy outside and enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in the long time“

“Food drinks were good. Hospitality was great“

“This place is intoxicating!! The decor is very Gatsbyesque! Totally cool private gin club speakeasy vibe. Went here for after dinner drinks with my girlfriends and it really hit the mark! The cocktails were gorgeous and delicious! I recommend the Gimlet. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable. It was a perfect ending to our girls trip and I can't wait to bring my husband for date night!!! Highly recommend!“

“I worked with a Rachel at Royal Sands to host an event upstairs at their Sunset Bar. The event went so well thanks to their great communication. They were responsive, efficient, and 100% prepared for our large group. I can’t recommend Royal Sands enough for hosting events!“

“Great cocktails, excellent service.“

“I love this place with all my heart.“

“Love the vibes here good cocktails good people great time.“

“The Haymaker is a great cocktail bar and has some of the best and hardest working bartenders in DC. When we arrived, the bar counter seats were almost full. Three cocktails in and the whole place was packed with 90/95% having cocktails, our refills still came quickly. Why only 4 star? They have changed the food menu and not for the better. The dumplings are still great. We also had the quesadilla. My wife liked it, I thought it was generic. We both thought the loaded tots were a major fail, the 'load', what little there was of it, had all fallen off and was in the bottom of the bowl. The draft beer choice is also weak, with Goose Island being their premium beer. I hope they change up their menu for the better.“

“Not recommended at all! Never ever coming back worst service ever!!“

“great staff. good beer deals. above average bar food. lots of TVs. awesome deck“

“This place is a hidden gem.. can’t lie I was skeptical because there was no smell of seasonings but let me tell you the flavor profiles were exceptional!! Finally a restaurant that I can leave out of not smelling like the food I ate.. ??? I recommend this anyone that values flavor! I want to write more because the food was so good but I think I’m just gonna stop.“

“We went there 3 evenings in a row. Bar at the top, waiter on Wednesday at the top, waitress on Thursday at the top. On the other hand, the waitress on Friday evening, a STÉPHANIE H, no smile and not pleasant. Too bad for the bar. We will not return for 4 evenings.“

“We were apartment hunting in the area when we stumbled upon this bar and decided to grab a couple of drinks before our next tour. We ended up having such an amazing time! The bartender was fantastic, offering us useful tips, and those green tea shots were absolutely delicious. Next time I'm here, I'll definitely be snapping some pictures!“

“This is an ideal place to relax, drink, and chat. It's also a small business with a lot of friendly regulars. It's also an Ohio bar. The food is solid, but the atmosphere is really the draw. The person who is serving you or working in the kitchen is highly likely to be the owner.“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Let me start off by saying that my son and I had an excellent time watching Bit Brigade! We purchased the premium seating which in my opinion is only really premium If you can get lined up against the railing upstairs. There are some tables there, but you really can't see the band below from said tables. So basically you're paying extra to be able to go upstairs and hopefully get a spot by the railing or have access to some extra tables. Luckily there were some nice people next to us that let my kids sit up front so they can get a good view.
We got a pizza and it just wasn't very good and the fry portions they give were pretty lame. I do however recommend the pickled veg or smoked olives. The bar service was very attentive and quick so I did appreciate that.
Acoustics were great! The bass sounded great and the drums hit nicely.
This isn't really a problem with Pearl Street Harbor itself, but with any place in that general area - but parking was horrendous and getting there was extremely stressful.
Overall a really fun experience and now that I have a better lay of the land, I will likely be back again!“

“If you're looking for a simple and perfect bar experience, Last Call is the place to be. It's not over the top or crazy impressive—just a good, solid bar, which is hard to find in this area. Everywhere else we went, the drinks were expensive, with just one tab and four people drinking. City prices are always so high!

The owners of this bar aren't trying to make a crazy amount of money, which is refreshing. We actually got to enjoy drinks without feeling broke by the end of the night. Thank you, Last Call, for being an approachable bar scene.

However, if you want real food, get something to eat before you end your night here. The bar menu is simple and doesn't offer a lot of options.“

“Simple, simple, honest place, without great pretensions. Very good service from the bartender and staff in general. Delicious and varied craft beers that are worth trying. Free popcorn. Clean and complete bathrooms. A must-see if you like beers on tap and a calm atmosphere with excellent music.“

“Niel the bartender made it clear that my safety mattered more to him than profit - a rarity in DC. I tried to tip him extra but he literally would not let me. This is my favorite bar in DC and you won't see me missing out on a chance to be here any time soon.“

“The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches were so good. All the drinks were top notch as well. Service was fast and the server was very attentive. Great place with great food!!“

“Today, I tried Fight Club. I found their lunch menu offered unique combinations of sandwiches and sides. Each sandwich contained flavors one might not normally pair. I enjoyed a Genoa Salami and Coleslaw Sandwich! It was absolutely fantastic! I’d place it in my top 5 sandwiches ever! If you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience, check out Fight Club DC!“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“When you think of a speakeasy… this place looks like what comes to mind. Down a flight of stairs leading to oversized doors you find yourself stepping back in time and greeted by a skilled bartender sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for an after dinner drink or to just hang out with friends.“

“One of the best hospitality experiences we have ever had. My wife and I enjoyed a glass of wine in their lounge. The two bar tenders in the cafe were amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful and has an amazing vibe. Then we grabbed an espresso martini at their bar. Holy moly was it great. The attention to detail in making our drinks was remarkable. A tremendous amount of pride and love was put into each drink I saw the staff make. Every thing was perfect with our experience. The service, the drinks, and the atmosphere. This is a must stop if you are in Denver. Thank you for treating us so well!!“

“Super hip and cute vibes. JJ is the best axe throwing trainer!! He taught our group all the basics and continued to help us improve our skills! He was really patient and is an excellent teacher. We had so much fun playing all the different games, who knew tic tac toe with an axe spin could be so competitive and so fun!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian taco, guac and chips“

“The hookah experience was absolutely amazing! I tried the Blueberry Mint flavor, and it was smooth and refreshing—definitely one of the best I’ve had. A special shoutout to Hennessy for providing top-notch service. He was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

I also appreciated the cleanliness—everything was spotless, with fresh new hoses and high-quality equipment. Hennessy’s excellent customer service and great vibe truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an exceptional hookah night. Five stars all the way!“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“The atmosphere, hospitality and the food was great“

“Best bartenders in DC. I will not be explaining this, it is pure fact!“
