fun time
I usually go there when I am in town, but I was there recently and it bartender seem to have a bit of an attitude. I do not mind showing my COVID card but the bartender should check everyone's when they come in & treat everyone the same. I had a mask on but others came in without mask & they were not questioned. They need to treat all the same if they want repeat business
DC landmark
For good or bad, this is one of the few DC institutions that has stayed the same for the last 20+ years. Always a sleuth of pretty status queens, but it's hard not to like the 2-for-1 drink specials (does Happy Hour ever end?) and SHOWTUNE MONDAYS!
Great Staff
I have been going to Jr's since 1997 and it has always been a wonderful place to go. The staff is friendly and Jr's provides a good vibe to meet up with friends or make new ones. Chris O'Brien
Late night crowd I guess.
Sort of empty. Hard to order a drink, even when no one was there. A guy kept saying the people don't show up until late, and it was 11:30!
Great neighborhood bar
Very friendly staff. Excellence crowd. The best drinks specials in town gay or str8. Sundays $3.00 rail and beer all day. Thursdays all you can drink. Best Showtunes on Monday nights!!!
