18th & U Duplex Diner
Kitschy 50s diner with diverse crowd
The diner food and booze at Duplex brings in DC's A-list crowd. Decorated with knick-knacks and memorabilia—it's a kitsch lover's paradise. Situated between the gay Dupont hood and the trendy/gay Adams Morgan. Catch DC gay celebs like blogger Andrew Sullivan and Barney Frank here in the city where politics never stops.

Diverse Crowd, Cheap Food, Big Drinks
Voted by OUT Magazine as one of the 25 Best Gay Bars in the World. Lively neighborhood bar scene takes over the restaurant on Thursday nights. Always fun!
