Service from the staff was mixed. The bartender who served me was perfectly polite. After getting drinks, we settled in and were just chatting by the bar. My stool was quickly taken from me. I didn't really care, and the person who took it said something, but it was way too loud to hear him and he quickly walked away. We were about to step away from the bar area (just waiting on a third friend who last saw us there), when another bartender rudely told us to get out of his way. I would perfectly understand the need for more space around the bar when it's getting busy, but it's pretty simple to ask in a courteous way. I'm not expecting you to hold my hand, but just be respectful. PSA to my beloved queer community: being conventionally good looking does not excuse unkind behavior.
Great bar with a patio, good drinks but the place could use a makeover.
Overall good place to be and nice decent music, some people are a little touchy but it’s not that big of a deal. The only negative experience I had (not personally) but my friend gave the bartender her card to pay for 2 drinks and 2 shots. One was $35 and I believe the shots where $8. The bartender decided to give himself a tip out her card without her authorization and gave himself a $52 tip. Lucky my friend was able to call her bank and dispute the charge. If you go to this bar do NOT USE CARD! Cause the bartender will over charge your card purposely.
Great atmosphere, fantastic staff and fabulous clientele. I’ve visited a handful of times and always had a great time. Would 100% recommend stopping by for a drink. ? ?
Nice little Gay Bar in DC mixed local crowd with some visitors too. Quite small so gets crowded. Staff were friendly and drinks reasonably priced.
one of my favorite DC bars!
It was alright. We went on a chilly sat evening in march. It was moderately crowded with lively ppl. Drinks are avg and moderately priced. Everything was just about ok.
Possibly the best gay bar in DC. Unpretentious, very social, down to earth.It is much easier to meet guys here, everyone seems to enjoy the music and friendlier unlike the other gay bars around it. Lighting is perfect. It's not too bright to the point that makes you too self conscious. DJs play mainstream tunes and remixes and of course gays like that. Drinks are better compared to the other bar that I refuse to mention. Bartenders are also quite nice.
Bartenders always provide service with a smile and drinks are well priced. Great atmosphere.
Saturday night scene consistently very good: music, drinks, vibe, crowd. Music a bit offbeat (in a good way) -- a mix of old and new.Well done, Trade-DC.
