The walls are splattered with colorful, quirky and delightfully tacky prints. Petworth residents rave about the bar's trivia nights and its Jim Beam and National Bohemian $5 shot-and-beer combo. Read more

Pretty much all the bartenders and waiters and waitresses are awesome, so you should talk to them and they will be awesome because they are awesome.

As the dive bar version of 18th Street Lounge, this spot make for a great neighborhood spot to grab a drink and socialize any day of the week. It also has an outdoor patio in the back, always a plus

Try the new Spring Salad. Arugula, alfalfa sprouts, beets, pumpkin seeds, and delicious little pieces of goat cheese. Delicious. For real.

Really fun trivia night; Dalton is annoying as hell, but he's good at hosting and is occasionally hilarious.

For some unknown reason, they refuse to serve Long Island Iced Teas, regardless of your sobriety or willingness to pay money. And no Absolut. Twilight Zone. Go next door.
