"Set to open on Friday, June 8, this five-in-one, gay-friendly sports bar will occupy 2317 18th Street NW, transforming the 10,000-square-foot building into five distinct bars: a basement bar geared to serve the lesbian community, a tavern-style restaurant on the first floor, a communal meeting area for local charities and civic groups, and two rooftop bars projected to broadcast various sporting events throughout each season. JR’s bar manager–turned–first-time restaurateur David Perruzza is overseeing the conversion, and the stated goal is to create a “positive, safe space” for members of D.C.’s LGBTQ community." - Warren Rojas
