The Fireplace

About this place The Fireplace

The Fireplace is a longstanding gay bar in Washington's P Street corridor, a neighborhood known for its LGBTQ+ venues and welcoming atmosphere. As one of the city's early video bars, this venue has established itself as a destination for those looking to enjoy music in a relaxed, social setting. The bar spans two floors, each offering a different musical experience. The first floor features video music displayed across four TV screens, creating a lively visual and audio atmosphere. The second floor takes a different approach, with music spanning various eras and styles. A distinctive feature of the venue is its actual fireplace, adding warmth and character to the space. Whether you're a Washington local or visiting the city, The Fireplace offers a casual spot to enjoy music, connect with the community, and experience a piece of the city's gay bar history. It's the kind of neighborhood venue where you can settle in for an evening without pretense, surrounded by fellow LGBTQ+ patrons and friends.
