“Cocktail Bar. 2 entrances: 130 Blagden Alley / 1230 9th St NW – Basement”
Parting words from Never Looked Better:
“We opened in the middle of a pandemic, kept going after losing a beloved founding partner, and somehow created a space full of music, cocktails, and community. None of it would have been possible without our amazing staff—the true soul of this bar. To our bar team, security team, our DJs, and everyone who poured their hearts into this place: thank you.

From the Good People of Ivy & Coney:
“I was going to write my usual funny (or mildly chuckle-inducing) message to you. But honestly, times are tough these days and real harm is being done to our community, especially those of us that are black and brown. The city has been resilient, the people are protesting, and hopefully we’ll all survive these troubled times.
In order to not let the bastards beat us down, the race must go on. This coming Monday, we’ll be doing it up as we have these last three years. There will be stupidity, there will be fun, there will be drinking, and, of course, hot dogs. Hopefully, there won’t be any federal goons.
FYI: $5 of every ticket goes directly to our friends at Bread for the City. Their work is more vital than ever.
