Insanely well priced drinsk and the atmosphere is great
June is fantastic! She took care of us with extreme efficiency. As a bartender, I was very impressed. She served us very fast, and made us feel like family!
Top dive bar and rooftop spot in DC! Staff, vibes, drinks, food -- all amazing. My favorite is the Tendy Tuesday specials. The back private room is amazing for renting out for parties.
