I adore JR’s You must definitely make JR’s part of your romp thru town. It has happy door people, very very funny and smart artists who are fantastic drag queens and high fun energy and smart. There is a great balcony where if you don’t want to stand in the crowds one can take their newly found love up there to watch down on the antics of the show floor below. Their drinks are good but they strangely "don’t do doubles" Which is the funniest and newest policy I have ever heard in a bar. LOL - thats ok though we still love you, JR and look forward o going to you nightly when we are back in District again!

Having lived in DC many years ago and frequenting JR's all the time, its was fun to go there again on a recent trip. The good thing is that this legendary Dupont Circle bar has not changed and that is good. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks were strong and reasonably priced. The bar is nicely decorated and now has a great patio our front to sit and watch the eye candy go by. If you have not been to JR's, you owe it to yourself to go and check it out. You will not be disappointed!

Went here to try my chances of meeting someone. Different age groups and mostly standing, but I don't mind that. Cool place with nice people. It can get very crowded and hard to hear myself think when music is on. Food and drinks are good though.

A great little "dive bar" in DuPont Circle. Not pretentious, laid back, great bartenders, and excellent mixology skills. It’s a good a homey vibe.

What a nice little neighborhood bar! Located at the end of Church Street no less, stands a brick building with high ceilings, stained glass windows, a small second floor loft, with music videos of different genres pumping out tunes and the patrons singing along like a choir. A fairly big bar occupies one side of the place, and a long drink counter stands adjacent to it with views of the street. There are tables & chairs upstairs in the crowded loft. Not sure of a dance floor. Drink prices were average. No cover charge plus friendly staff equals a definite return in the future.

Fun vibes inside. Crowded the inside very easily. They have an overlook section.

If you want to go to a gay bar, this is it! Sweet and friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks, and fun atmosphere. I plan to go here again and again! Drag nights are fun and the queens are always the best.
