Best Gay Bars in Washington, D.C. According to Eater Editors | Eater DC

"Classic cocktails and edgy art pieces anchor upscale Licht Café, a three-year-old European coffee house-style bar modeled after the owner’s favorite gay cafe in Mannheim, Germany. Tucked in a mere 600-square-foot space, Licht’s snug and cozy setup above U Street NW lends itself to date nights and small groups." - Evan Caplan
