50 Best Bars near District Heights

“I was here, Saturday, March 21. I’ll tell you it was a good show and the food was excellent to me. The best calamari and butterfly shrimps I could ever ask for definitely will be coming back.“

“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.“

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

“The drink menu is creative, telling how the drinks were inspired.

I had two drinks. The first one was “Summers, Horses, Dreams”, love this one, it is a twisted from lychee martini, adding green cardamom which is insane delicious. However, I think the drink need to be colder.

Second drink was “Little Hats and Fast Trains”, highball style with Mazapan foam, I believe this is a type of peanut candy, and tamarind flavor. The foam was tasty but the tamarind was tart for me.

The staff was really helpful and nice. The atmosphere and the vibe was okay, good for dating or go with your friend.“

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

“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“

“Toro Bar is honestly one of my favorite spots to chill. The bartender is awesome — super friendly and really makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Drinks are great, and having a pool table there just adds to the vibe. Perfect place to hang out with friends and kick back.“

“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.“

“Games and a gnosh to eat?! Absolutely!! I never knew this was here. I highly recommend this bar/restaurant/arcade.“

“Great drinks & the servers were very attentive.“

“This was a pretty neat find as we wandered around the area! The tap wall was excellent to be able to try various types of beers and other drinks. Ordered the crazy fries, birria tacos, and the tuna poke wontons and all of them were excellent though the wontons were a clear favorite at our table. Watched the baseball game that was playing just across the street! Staff was very helpful.“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“Food drinks were good. Hospitality was great“

“Great service, delicious food, and an amazing atmosphere!“

“During our visit to Washington, our family had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the atmosphere — the interior breathes history, with the establishment dating back to 1946. We spent quite some time admiring the vintage photographs and décor, which allowed us to truly feel the soul of the place.

An elderly gentleman who served us was incredibly kind and welcoming, patiently helping us choose from the menu. We ordered delicious pasta and mozzarella sticks — everything was full of flavor and very reasonably priced.

This restaurant is a true gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. A warm, authentic, and memorable experience.“

“I’ve now dined here for dinner and brunch and both experiences were top notch. I’m impressed with the commitment to healthy foods and preparation throughout the process. The menu was intriguing and we enjoyed all of our selections. From the focaccia bread to the beets to the fennel salad and fried meatballs, the appetizers were delightful. The raviolini and beef heart bolognese pastas were remarkable too! My hubby loved his veal and the I forgot to mention all the fun mocktails (kids tried the elderberry and I enjoyed the homemade ginger ale)! I’m stoked to have this brunch option on Sundays following church now! Thank you, Team Ama!“

“my favorite place in DC! 💖“

“I love this place with all my heart.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I've been wanting to go to Kbird DC since it opened, but it is a bit out of the way. My husband and I were able to stop by after our late brunch in DC and rolled in around 5/6 pm. Upon arrival, both staff members greeted us warmly and were more than happy to help us order our drinks. The bartender (I didn't catch her name) and Chelsea were wonderful and even recommended a drink for me. My husband had the Pistachio Pisco Negroni and the Tepache Manhattan. He enjoyed both. I had the Champagne Old Fashioned, and it was a refreshing spin on the classic. About an hour later, the place became livelier when a whole stream of people came in - most likely due to the upcoming theater play at 7:30 pm. Shortly after, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised to run into an old classmate and her husband, so we were able to catch-up! I look forward to coming back for one of their event nights. They usually have karaoke and trivia nights, but I can't wait to see what other events they have up their sleeve this year! The perfect spot for remote work, a cozy chat, or a group gathering.“

“The Ahi Tuna Wonton Nachos are life! The sushi was tasty and fresh and the bartenders were very attentive despite being VERY busy!“

“What an amazing experience!! Went here for my boyfriends birthday and the service with Sam was spectacular. He gave amazing recommendations and took our likes into consideration. Overall amazing service and the food was amazing can’t wait to come back!!“

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

“This was my best karaoke experience I’ve ever had. Got a private room but the spot also features a public space with a bar and karaoke. The feature where you can connect to spotify 10/10!!! Had the chicken tenders and truffle fries. I was very satisfied with my choices. Will return again very soon!“

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

“Hip bar with fun crowd, pool, and excellent cocktails“

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

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

“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!“

“Customer service was excellent throughout the visit. Staff members were friendly, professional, and efficient, ensuring that guests felt welcome and well taken care of. Even during busy periods, orders were handled promptly, and the team maintained a positive attitude.“

“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.“

“Incredible vibes!
Bartender was an absolute chief throughout the night, and the karaoke hostess (kj) kept the energy up!

We absolutely loved the concept of costumed karaoke, it adds another layer of slumber party chaos to the night. People were very friendly and participated actively in the spectacle.

We will be back on Thursdays and Saturdays!!“

“Simply the Best!! Highly Recommended!!“

“Yeah, this is the bar you’re on Google to find. Dive? Yes. Strangely clean for a dive? Yes. Reasonable prices (for DC)? Also yes. Bumping club music with tons of college students looking for blow? No. If that’s you, go somewhere else. I walk past four GREAT bars to go to Snappys for a drinks and hang. Close to Georgia Ave/Petworth metro stop. Enter through a nondescript door for a great time. Mas Tacos next door is great as well.“

“Jackpot is an awesome spot in DC for a fun night out! The atmosphere is lively, stylish, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The drinks were expertly made, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Great music, great energy, and an overall fantastic vibe. Whether you're meeting friends or just looking for a great place to relax, Jackpot is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend!“

“The food was amazing and the service was great“

“My only hesitation in writing this review is that I don’t want it to get more busy that it already deservedly is! The burgers live up to the hype. They are delicious. The mozzarella sticks were a fantastic gooey beginning. The draft beer duo was great. The service and atmosphere are warm and inviting. Overall, just a great place.“

“My friends and I came here for a girls’ night and had the best time. The drinks were really good, and the service was top tier. A special shoutout to the host at the front who helped people get to their tables — I wish I had gotten his name, but he absolutely deserves a raise for how well he managed all the customers coming in. The place itself is incredibly beautiful. I would definitely come back.“

“Great cocktails, excellent service.“

“No one else does it better! Thank you Death & Co!“

“My favorite neighborhood dive bar. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, impeccable barkeeps.“

“Dropped in to this cool neighborhood BAR for a cocktail on a chilly night. The friendly bartender “Chris” made me a delicious ‘Better, Better’ cocktail with Jamaican Doctorbird Rum. The food MENU is limited. 100% come for vibe, drinks, service, and atmosphere.“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Can't recommend this place enough!! The entrance is actually very hidden which adds to the speakeasy element. The bartenders are excellent, especially Jake who was controlling the music and making our fab Tom Collins. Highly recommend!!!“

“The greatest bar in DC period“

“Happy hour mini crab cakes were awesome!!!“

“I really enjoyed how easy the process to book a reservation and get all of my guests tickets together. Also the ability to have others who aren’t coming to contribute to my bday. Big shout to Neb! He was so amazing with timely responses to all 100 questions I had! Make sure you ask for him he was great !!“

“I visited on a Saturday afternoon. Several groups of guys were there, but not crowded. Plenty of comfortable seating available. Very polite and attentive staff. Great selection of cigars and a well stocked bar. Casual atmosphere and dress. Mostly collared shirts and some T-shirts. I did not eat, but the food I saw looked good. I had a couple of drinks and a good cigar. Prices were not bad considering such an establishment. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.“
