A DC hidden gem and truly one-of-a-kind bar. Red lighting, a great beer selection that won't break the bank, a small but booming dance floor with house music, and a vibe that's somewhere between a comic book and a fantasy movie. If you really want to turn up the night, have a glass of their Mr. Lethal and check out the back stairwell. Owned by the same people as Little Miss Whiskey's.
