Good for video lovers of all ages
This is another decent bar in DC gay area, the main theme is music videos so if you like to drink, socialize a little (music is bit too loud to talk I felt so just smiling or winking at other guys might be better, ;-) hehee) while apreciating good music videos, this is a good place for you.
A must when visiting Washington...
JR's is Washington DC's most popular local bar. Its a neighborhood staple and in the heart of Dupont Circle!
busy, loud, friendly
Went there on a sunday evening, was pretty packed and great deal $2 vodka and beer, so of course we stayed the entire night :) some friendly people to chat to, popmusic on tvs quite loud, not a bad night!
Casual, hunks, and more
Great spot to grab a drink, hang and enjoy the sights. Not pretentious, rather, go here for the music, drinks and remix videos of popular tunes. The dj hada good mix of tunes and the hot bartenders were good eye candy, quiet, but eye candy! A good experience overall.
