The Fireplace

I love this place... I miss it so much ...

Older, black crowd. Great music and nice bartenders. I’m in town visiting for pride and this was a nice, lowkey spot. My friend and I, Robert (who loves drinks) had an amazing time.

On the oldest bars in DC serving the best drinks!

Went there last night to see if my experience would be better than the last time I went. The bartenders (both upstairs and downstairs) were so rude to me and act like I’m not even there. Especially the black bartenders. The one white or hispanic bartender was the only one who asked if I wanted something. Why are the black bartenders there always so rude to me? It’s weird and it’s giving internalized hate. I’m aware that I’m lightskin and attractive. Some might think that I am full of myself, but I’m not. To not give me service because of who you think I am is tacky, rude, and unprofessional. I will never go back to this bar again!!!
