It's a diverse, intergenerational mix, from college students, busy professionals to next-chapter adventurers. Unpretentious, fun, and always a good time—Tradeis DC’s ultimate queer neighborhood bar. Gay life is much more than apps and bars; it's about authentic human connection through an active social, professional, and cultural life.

Thursdays are legendary: go shirtless between 10–11 PM for free drinks, or show up in your underwear between 12–12:30 AM for a second round (literally).

Don’t miss the monthly Rough Houseparty (usually one Friday a month). The front bar is the best place to strike up a conversation, and the crowd? Go Gay DC empowers you to be your authentic self.

Join for free.

We're now looking for community partners and sponsors. Around the corner from Number Nine, this laid-back hotspot serves famously strong drinks, has drag shows and theme nights, and boasts a large back patio with a smoking area.

Weekends get wild, and there’s almost always a line by 11 PM—so come early. Friendly, flirty, and totally diverse.
