Our cocktail menu is quite extensive with over 20 brands of vodka and multiple types of Mojitos. The first floor’s lounge vibe is complete with a central granite bar perfect for peering into patrons on the opposite side.

Its exciting events calendar includes themed karaoke nights, open mics, craft nights, drag shows, Latin nights and maker markets. Named for the owners' great-grandmother, the bar boasts dozens of TVs in the relaxed downstairs, and an upstairs patio dance floor that goes strong until close.

Number Nine comes to the bustling Logan Circle courtesy of co-founder Ed Bailey, who helped DC’s gay nightlife scene to grow during his days as a DJ.

Decked out in mirrors, leather banquettes and dark wood paneling, the lounge is perfect for nighttime socialization. Self defense objects, weapons, drugs, outside food & outside drink are prohibited. By day, enjoy chill happy hours in the airy atrium, and by night, expect drag shows, karaoke and RuPaul’s Drag Race watch parties.

Along Dupont Circle's 17th Street, JR’s is a mainstay, as the bar has been serving patrons for three decades.

AYA offers coffee, food, drinks & FREE WiFi.

Safety & Cultural Standards:

-AYA checks all bags at the door during peak hours. The front bar is the best place to strike up a conversation, and the crowd? Around the corner from Number Nine, this laid-back hotspot serves famously strong drinks, has drag shows and theme nights, and boasts a large back patio with a smoking area.

Weekends get wild, and there’s almost always a line by 11 PM—so come early.

The music video bar upstairs is also a must-see and enjoy two-for-one drinks from 7-8 p.m.

Larry’s Lounge is a gay neighborhood pub, with always-affordable drinks, solid happy hour specials, mouth-watering pub fare (see: sweet potato tots) and one of the city’s friendliest patios (you can bring your dog, too!). Just know there’s a $10 cover after 10 PM for Rough House—but shirtless Thursdays remain free every week.
