Best outdoor patio and indoor wooden dance floor in the city. Just a sweet joint, run by some very nice people. (Oh, and the pork tacos and the draughts on tap are excellent.)
My favorite DC venue! Thanks to the efforts of Ashish Vayas and Jerry Busher, I'm privileged to curate a "Third Mondays" residency; here's a link to a free download of a recording of an October 17, 2016 performance in which I was involved: goo (dot) gl/2ZBEql. The next residency will be November 21. Ashish and Jerry do a phenomenal Reggae DJ set from 5:00 (or so) until 8:00 (or so) on Monday evenings, preceding the live performances that the venue hosts. The deck and its view of passing trains is as mind-nourishing as a trip out of town -- but without all the fuss and bother! I cannot recommend this place highly enough; if I were asked to sum it up in one word, it would be "überrelaxing"!
An old bar in the neighbourhood and has just the vibes for every atmosphere- outdoors, indoors with live mic and then the top floor for just dance and party. Love the ambience and vibe of this place
Do try out the beer and shot combo!
Love this place. Haven't been here in a while but came for the holiday market event and will definitely be back more often. Had a great time every time, but especially this last visit. Shout out to Dom for not only selling some sick art but organizing the event as well.
My colleague lives in the area and invited me for a drink and I had never heard of the spot. It was chill around happy hour, kinda empty. Classic dive bar. The beer was cold. By the second drink the place started to fill and it seemed like the male/female ratio was very lopsided to the female persuasion and at first I was like “cool”, and then I reeeally took it all in and started to wonder if I was at a gay bar (which is still totally cool). Maybe it was the vendor selling “Dyke” merchandise, or the fact that for once I was able to enjoy a drink without being bothered by strangers or crowded by yuppies. Either way the atmosphere was conducive to minding my own business and having a good time. The outdoor area is great.
The upstairs had vendors with various art and wares they made. I have since learned that the event was actually “Dew Drop’s Dyke Party”. I would gladly come to another Tuesday “Dyke Party” if it’s always so chill (albeit not very diverse).
The downstairs also had a bar and around 8 there was Christmas-themed live music of the R&B/Soul/Jazz persuasion. This crowd was substantially more eclectic and in my subjective views couldn’t be categorized as homogenous. Free live music in DC is unheard of so I was extremely gracious.
My only complaint is that this is a dive in the heart of the dmv that doesn’t serve National Bohemian. But I have since learned that they allow dogs so I won’t hold it against them.
Very nice outdoor patio. Good for casual meet and greets or first dates since it has a good mix of music areas and conversation spots. Slushy drinks are overly sweet, but still tasty if you're ready for it.
Amazing, cozy little place on the Metropolitan Bike Trail where 90% of the seating is outdoors. Fair prices and food supplied by a food truck. Definitely a great place to visit during 3 seasons of the year.
Drinks are reasonably priced and the bar staff are wonderful. The vibes are very divey which is super cool. I have not tried the food from the bar, but there was a food truck, and there's a liberal outside food policy if you want to order something else delivered or bring your own. The trivia on Mondays is abysmal; the categories and questions are either too niche or nonsensical and the host has no sense of timekeeping. I'm pretty sure it's run by the bar itself, but seriously guys, you should reach out to one of the local trivia companies to run it because it was grating to play.
the bartenders are so incredibly kind, very LGBTQ+ friendly staff and clientele, plenty of fun events, and they allow dogs inside! Jon approves.
This review is not for everyone, this is my favorite type of place... neighborhood bar with great drinks, solid hang out music and an outside deck on the railroad tracks right under an overpass. Relaxed local spot for the neighborhood and a must stop for a couple of beers if you're in the area.
They don't serve food but did have a good truck there that had meat full of flavor and seasoning and would put chipotle out of business. The place itself is cool and full of character. Nice place to hang out and grab drinks.
Dew drop is just a wonderful neighborhood dive. Great outdoor seating and draft list. Located right at the tip of the MBT, it’s not as wild as its sister bar, wonderland ballroom. Fantastic atmosphere.
They’re not transparent about the default 20% tip, so watch out for that.
