Fireplace, The

Strange...why does the clientel segregate it self ? I've never been a wall flower and refuse to segregate myself. I enjoyed both bars. Decide to have a good time and you will. Ignore any attitudes and proceed. Music on both floors differs. Bartenders should be better. Drinks..ok. Crowd is what you see is what you get.

I love this bar. Upstairs and downstairs are as different as east and west cost. Mostly black upstairs, but if you are intimidated by color you will have more fun up than down stairs. Warning upstairs can get very crowded. If you are not being social then you need to check yourself.

I stop here everytime I am in WDC. I tell everyone I know about this place. Storng drinks, great time. Older crowd downstairs, mostly black upstairs. I love...LOVE this place!

I read a review on here that did not reflect my experience at all. While visiting DC, I decided to pay this place a visit. I found the crowd to be very down to earth and real. Not pretentious and conceited like in most alternative bars. Before I knew it, I found myself having a really good experience. Surprisingly!

This is the reason why you can't believe everything you hear or see. The bar is mostly black...yes. The 1st and 2nd floors are totally different....yes. but, the people are street people. I've met everything from teachers to doctors there. It's not your place to go if you prefer to dance. but, it's a pretty chill place to go to sit and have a drink and maybe meet someone new.
