Nellie's Sports Bar
Two levels of space, big-screen TVs, and a great outdoor patio make this a fantastic place to watch the game or grab food & drinks. It's a bit of a walk from the gay hood, but well worth the trip. Watch from the big windows as boys and girls pull up on cabs by the dozen. Trivia night, drag bingo, brunch buffet, poker tournaments, and summer movies are on the roof.

Not for gays anymore
Mixed gay/straight crowd? WHERE? All we saw were a bunch of college-age straight drunks. This is NOT a gay bar/establishment. If it use to be, it’s not anymore. We left after 5 minutes. Never again.
Bad music
I don't know what happened to this place. They say the Roman Holy Empire was neither Roman, nor Holy, nor an Empire. This place is neither gay nor a sports bar anymore. I went on a Saturday night, and it was full of the same drunk college kids that now infest all the bars in the U St corridor. So sad. This place used to be a fun, laidback bar for gays of all ages--not any more.
Fun little bar, go up stairs to enjoy the awesome weather with your mates.
not sure its gay
Nice bar but has become a straight hangout. Not my favorite
