Possibly the best gay bar in DC. Unpretentious, very social, down to earth.
It is much easier to meet guys here, everyone seems to enjoy the music and friendlier unlike the other gay bars around it. Lighting is perfect. It’s not too bright to the point that makes you too self conscious. DJs play mainstream tunes and remixes and of course gays like that. Drinks are better compared to the other bar that I refuse to mention. Bartenders are also quite nice.

Great dive bar. I walked by and stopped in on a whim. The staff is fun and friendly, with just the right amount of overheard snarky banter. And whatever that signature scent is, inside at the bar, needs to be bottled and sold. So good!!!
I have never been more disappointed in a “welcoming” institution. I arrived to the bar on a Thursday evening as an identifying female meeting my female partner and gay male friend. I was told, before sitting down, I was “NOT WELCOME’ and then “boo’d’ out of the bar because I was not a gay man and by my server’s terms “the type of people that should be there”. When we went to management they said this wasn’t in their purview.
I was under the impression, Trade, was open for all. How disappointing to find the men I thought would be allies are actually the worst kind of representatives
Best queer bar in dc, all walks of life welcome. Staff is amazing and the entertainment is always on point! Absolutely recommend this gem!
Lively and popular place. Great bar with nice and attentive bartenders. Reasonable prices, especially for DC. Has a coat check, which is super helpful during the colder months. Has some seating towards the back, but when I’ve been on Saturday nights, it is pretty much standing room only.
