Affordable and youthful spot for a diverse crowd.
Closes access to restroom at 11pm which feels like it should be illegal. Especially if you claim yourself to be a sports bar.
Fun place. Generally a fun vibe. Too many straight women, though. It’s a gay bar being inundated by straight girls looking for gay tourism and to “feel safe” but get loud and obnoxious and pushy and overly confident. Pitchers needs to be more aware.
This is not a safe place for gay women, or anyone for that matter. I am disappointed and hurt by the sexist — yes, sexist against women, although they proudly tout their lesbian bar — and rude staff/bouncers that work here and will certainly never return.
Been many times. Staff and bartenders are all-around great. Younger, diverse crowd—expect lots of women. A fun time with plenty of space, a fun dance floor (many levels), and reasonably-priced drinks as far as DC clubs go.
I love Bobby as a bartender!!!Always takes the best care of me and everyone is always so friendly. Can never stop coming here!! My go to place every weekend
Shocked by the low rating, this bar is chill, fun and friendly. Thank you to gay bars that have stayed open during the pandemic and are trying to keep people safe while also giving us a place to socialize. Can't wait to go back here!
Love this spot so much it’s hard to know where to start. Haven’t tried the food but have seen plenty of other people happily eating. Love Thirst Trap Thursdays, the drag show, where the spacious dance floor becomes a runway. Make sure to check out their social media for any upcoming events; FB: “Pitchers DC”, IG: “PitchersDC”.There are so many levels to this place that when thinking about it I honestly have to mentally walk around each floor/section. It’s not too big where it’s confusing but just big enough that there’s always variety and another opportunity to mix it up in a different area. There are video games in League Of Her Own, the connected lesbian bar, and in a few other spots around pitchers. Drinks are reasonably priced given the fact that it is in a busier area of DC.The reality is though I could think of a few other bars that cater to the same clientele with similar qualities but the biggest attraction here is the attitude of the bars patrons and employees. When you first walk in it’s obvious how great of a time everyone’s having (whether they are chilling or dancing away) because of peoples smiles and warm personalities.If you’ve checked out other LGBTQ bars you’ve probably stumbled upon one of those bars that feels like model homeland and anyone who doesn’t look a certain way doesn’t feel accepted. In addition, the homeland for some reason only hires and trains their bartenders to have an attitude and to look you up and down after taking your order as if to judge whether your worth their time. I only bring up bars like that because it’s the complete opposite here, to the point that I’ve caught myself wanting to tip plenty of pitchers bartenders the price of the drink (essentially doubling my out of pocket expense) because of their sweet smile and welcoming demeanor. Plus I don’t know who’s hiring the staff but great job to the HR department for scoring some veryyyy attractive ladies and gentlemen to run the door, manage the bars, and do all the other jobs.Bottom line, I know plenty of us grew up wishing/hoping/praying for a space where we could feel accepted while just being ourselves and the reality is that this is that place. Whether your just visiting DC for a hot second, a DMV resident looking for a fun time, or someone who’s not sure if the bar scene if for them, I challenge you to check out this spot because I couldn’t imagine a single person being disappointed. Simply put it’s a lovable DC destination for all.
The place is great - the owner is on a power trip and enjoys ~trying~ to kick people out. He yelled at my friends and I who were seated at a table for not wearing masks while we were actively eating and then came back to harass us. Met multiple people who warned me about this person. Overall decent bar but the owner is a terrible person. Would recommend if owners change - otherwise don’t give your business here.
Very empty boring bar don't waste your time
