Washington DC is notorious. Politics, crime, punk rock and protests have given this popular destination for the gay community a bit of an edge. The city's lively gay nightlife is centered within a couple of neighborhoods, easily accessible by public transportation. Several top hot spots are located in Dupont Circle, just a few minutes walk from Dupont Circle Metro stop. Here you will find glam mixed with button-down conservative types and everything in between.
