I love The Saloon. You should too. That I forgot to put them on the list of D.C.’s true great bars pains me immensely. Mea culpa. Other bars I inexcusably left off include – Dew Drop Inn, Ivy & Coney, Tune Inn, Showtime, Nanny’s (I forgot my regular freaking bar), St. Ex and The Pinch.

And I, I shall be drinking copiously. So if you want to know how I really feel about Futsal and other hot topics be sure to stop on by!! Seriously, always a good chill time. Details here at the Facebook event page but basically 6:30-9:30pm (ish) upstairs. I’ll be wearing a red Caps hat and a coolest Pet in PoPville 2009 t-shirt (with Dre on the back, still the coolest.) And if I owe you a shirt or you’ve been looking for one, I’ll bring plenty for you to pick up then. Hope to see some new and old faces tomorrow – cheers!

Last Dance at Town from Ben Carver on Vimeo.
From Benjamin Carver:
“Town danceboutique closed its doors after 10 years as a hub for the Washington DC LGBT community. More than a place to dance, it was a social and event space for expansive community interests, a refuge where gay people embraced and developed their identities and a laboratory for creative expression. It is where we came out, had our first kiss, lamented our heartbreaks, celebrated our successes, and felt less alone, all under the disco ball. (more…)

Ed. Note: Long loved Liberty Tree closed on H Street, NE back in October 2017.
On July 30th we wrote Duffy’s Moving to H Street, NE!!?! Maybe? Well, no maybes about it anymore. Duffy’s writes on their Facebook page:
“Duffy’s Irish Pub is Moving!
After over 12 years of serving the neighborhood, Duffy’s will be moving to a new location. As many have already heard, our current building is slated for new development, and we are locking the doors and drinking all the whiskey some time in Sep 2018. [Ed. Note: DCist reports that the last day for the old spot will be September 15.]
Our new address will be 1016 H St., NE, and we look forward to serving you there. (more…)

The Wonderland Ballroom
1101 Kenyon St NW
Time flies quickly when you spend it swimming in streams of whiskey!
The Wonderland Ballroom’s core mission of coarsening the culture and greasing DC’s gears with beer continues into its fourteenth year this Sunday. What started as the ugly duckling of 11th Street has blossomed into an even uglier, drunker duck. (more…)
11th and U Street, NW
I also like the new Jackie Lee’s on Kennedy Street. Having said all that, I understand as a District of over 700,000 folks there will be varied tastes. As such, whatever floats your boats my friends, whatever floats your boats. Truly! Without further ado from a press release:

Gah! Thanks to Barred in DC (again) for hooking us up. From Bottom Line:
“Bottom Line is Closed this week due to a fire at the nightclub Eden above us. We will reopen soon. Thanks for all your support.”
Thanks to danamorse (and Jack) for sending Saturday:
“Duffy’s Irish Pub is coming to H Street NE. Location was previously home to Liberty Tree.”
1016 H Street, NE
Back in April we noted that the current location of Duffy’s (near 9:30 Club) had filed for a raze permit.
Long loved Liberty Tree closed on H Street, NE back in October 2017. Alas on Sunday, Ryan noted:
“The signs were all off the building this morning fwiw”
STAY TUNED.
