"Public Bar Live pairs our love of watching giant versions of CJ Abrams and Alexander Ovechkin with hits like “I Want It That Way.” It's a great place to start a Friday with a game and end with dancing. The Dupont Circle spot has three floors and a rooftop, each with its own bar and a slightly different set up. Sit on the third floor to watch the game—there’s a slightly clubby feel, NBA on TNT above every table, and big leather booths. It also has the best angle for checking out the projector, which plays the biggest game of the hour." - tristiana hinton
