About this place DIK Bar

DIK is Dupont Italian Kitchen, a casual Italian restaurant on 17th Street NW that has been serving pasta and pizza since 1986. The upstairs DIK Bar has long been a regular stop for gay locals, but this is a gay-friendly mainstream restaurant, not a gay bar. It sits on the 17th Street strip in Dupont Circle, close to several gay bars, so it works for dinner before a night out. Prices are moderate, and weekend brunch starts at 10:30.

This is one of my go to places for when I want to treat myself. The Chicken Francoise and Chicken Parm are especially good. Service is friendly and quick.

Walker in was greeted with a hello. Quick service. Of course it was only bout 3:30pm lol. But it was definitely tasty and LGBTQ friendly.

This is not Italian food. They have inappropriate parties upstairs at the bar. The MPD has been alerted
