JR's Bar
Great drink specials, campy videos, and friendly bartenders keep JR's packed with fun 7 days a week. If you're looking for a casual place for a drink, JR's is the place to go, right in the heart of the primary gay hood. This is the place to play "pin the tail on the closeted Republican Hill staffers."

Great on Sunday afternoons
Great inexpensive drinks and lots of hunks.
um......
Still not sure about this place. It was once one of hottest spots in town. On a recent visit there were only 5 people in the whole place. 5 people at 11pm on a Saturday. Lame
Don't go alone
Just moved here, been there several times. I am a decent looking dude too. The bartenders do not care who you are and it is not good to go alone. clicky and not a pick up bar at all. I would go back with friends but not alone. No place to sit so be prepared unless you want to sit alone on the upper deck where no one goes that I noticed.
Great local bar. The young IT bar of DC
Every city has THE bar to go to and JR's is DC's. Its a great place to have a drink and meet folks. It can get crowded. It draws a lot of young folks.
Best place to take your close friends
The bartenders are very entertained, you can talk to your friends and at the same time appreciate the music. Drinks are affordable.
