A fantastic place! One of the last 30 lesbian bars in the country, and one of two in DC! It was packed and hot for World Pride, but it was a great time and worth the wait! We even sat for a game of Mario Kart by the bar! Definitely recommend for your DC trip

This was the first lesbian bar I've been too and it was great!!! I came alone because I didn't have anyone to go with and I met some wonderful slightly older lesbians playing Mario cart. They gave me some advice and I explored the other areas, (the place is huge). There are 3 floors, 2 bar areas, 2 dance floors, roof areas and a game area. I met a ton of wonderful people and I'm definitely going back!

I absolutely love having one of the few lesbian bars in the country so close to where I’m living. The vibes are absolutely amazing, and I love the new gaming consoles. They have great events practically every night they’re open and the drinks are very fairly priced. The trivia on Thursday nights is great, and the crowd is cool. My favorite place to go out here in DC honestly

UPDATE: Be ready to see a bunch of straight homophobic guys now. Thank you “MOR”. They have no respect. They hit people around and make homophobic comments to the people that supposed to be safe here. It’s so disappointing. I visited the new "bar" on the 3rd floor on Friday the 11th, and honestly, it was a huge letdown. The DJ was terrible — he just played music videos all night. No mixing, no effort, just YouTube videos on a screen. It felt more like watching a playlist than being at a bar. Please don’t bring him back.

Expensive drinks… $10 for a well shot… but great environment and vibes. Love the concept and layout. It’s best to get there early.

This is the place to be if you are gay mostly ladies, but everyone is welcome. Bartenders were fantastic, dance floor was poppin. First time here, they hit it outta the park. 🥎Definitely will be back!

This bar is THE BEST. The lights and the colors make you happy right when you walk in and then you go downstairs and there's old school Nintendo!!!!!! Took me back! I had the time of my life! There's also a rooftop deck and a dance floor - they have everything! Really like this spot! Also felt super covid safe - masks required and proof of vaccination to enter.

Love this place! So nice to have such a special queer space in DC! Love that there's multiple dance floors, alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink options! Just an overall amazing vibe! Service is always great!

I want to like ALOHO but it's always been a disappointment from the service, to the drinks, and to the vibe. It's a really small space, there aren't enough bartenders, the bartenders don't seem to care about business, and music is bad. So much room for improvement but I don't think they care. If you're looking for this space you should go but don't get your hopes up!

I hate to give this place only three stars because it could be amazing and I do frequent here often, but it does have room for improvement. The bartenders in the league are always very friendly and have great service, but unfortunately the bar area is small. since it adjoins with pitchers, it's always very overrun and tightly packed. Because it's attached to pitchers do expect there to be men sharing this space. It hasn't bothered me much but some men are still coming on to women in this space and I have experienced being approached and being touched by men here without consent. No fault to the bar as they can't control these instances but just want to make women aware that it is a possibility. It also can get pretty hot with the amount of bodies in here. I think this place could improve greatly if there was more of a separation between it and the upstairs floors, as well as maybe a limit on how many people can enter at a time, or if there already is a number for it to be reduced so people can comfortably move around.

Had a Saturday girls' night out and dropped in at A League of Her Own. Glad my friend and I decided to stop by because we had a good time! This bar was immediately fascinating by the several mounted TVs with multiple throwback games you could play with someone else. All the games were occupied, and I did not get a chance to play any, but they all looked fun. I grabbed a rum punch drink that was decent and explored the different levels of the building. Once I reached the top, they were getting ready for the drag show. My friend and I got a good spot and enjoyed the event. These ladies did their thing, performing early 2000s songs. Once the show was finished, the area turned into a dance party and immediately got packed. We ended up leaving because we were beat and had a long day. An interesting queer bar! Definitely had a fun night!

This was my favorite bar in DC! As a bisexual woman from Kentucky, I don't have much opportunity to frequent gay bars that cater to women - this place brought the diversity, the sexiness and the fun! Seriously, had SO much fun here! GREAT crowd, very friendly and the dancing and music was smoking! Great shots that didn't break the bank! Also, all this without a cover. Seriously, it was a great way to end our night!

We had an awesome time! After dinner on a moms' night out, we stopped in on a Friday night because our kids had shamed us that we had come home "too early" last time. We were able to snag a table and ordered drinks at the bar. Drinks were typical rail drinks, but the atmosphere was fun. Upstairs, there was a full on dance party with GREAT music! Line for the bathroom wasn't awesome but can't wait to come back because they have FUNNEL CAKE on the menu!

Awesome queer space, not enough bathrooms for the weekend crowd. Like come on, need more stalls. There are a lot of people born with uteruses! The lines were long and one of the bathroom stalls (the basement floor level) only had one working stall! What!! Music was good, atmosphere was great, everybody was there to have a good time. Definitely crowded like pre-Covid levels. So...there's definitely a Covid risk but I think the vast majority (like, everybody) were ok with that. The video game floor (Pitchers) was not as packed and I appreciate they had games and different consoles available. Oh. One thing that was annoying was A League Of Their Own wanted to see a physical copy of ID. So if you lost yours and only had a picture you're out of luck there.

Gotta say, there were a healthy amount of afab queer people and that's what I was hoping for Pretty decent cheese pizza and a cool cider I'd never had before. The bartenders were really nice, too, though I did see the specific drink-limit sign mentioned in prev. reviews, which was an interesting choice in a bar. Had a great time, met some great people, would visit again. Two things, though: the basement is crazy hot and the upstairs dance area is on the small side, so heads up.

We were very much looking forward to going to this bar since there are just a handful of lesbian bars in the country, so the disappointment experienced was all the more stinging. This review is based on our experience and observations of a Saturday night. If you are under 30 and into "you", this is a place you might enjoy. If you have ever had a real conversation with anyone, expect politeness as a matter of course, and don't rely on your phone as a Bible of personal interaction, maybe not so much. The bartender gave us our drinks with barely a smile and possibly a grunt or low talking. Low talking is the equivalent of not really wanting to speak to you but having to. There were no hellos, no smiles. The bar back gave us her back--taking a literal interpretation of her job. The "security" consisted of a guy at the front door who glanced at our licenses. On the way out, we were told we could not bring plastic cups of water--that the bar supplied--onto the street by another "security" person. This seemed odd since the sheer depth of weed stench filled our pores at every turn, so water did not seem like a huge violation, but then again, I'm old school. The bar is downstairs and is a long, almost galley like corridor; upstairs is a small, cramped dance floor, where millennials jump to dance music, packed together in clusters, while holding their phones in one hand, and a drink in another. Hey, not for me, but that's what was happening. The crowd at this lesbian bar is men, women, and I think transgender, mainly in their 20s, perhaps very early 30s. I know people are sensitive, so I will just say they were a "different" group of humans. As this bar says it welcomes all, I guess there you have it, but as I said being old fashioned, I like my lesbian bars, well, with lesbians. Anyway, decide for yourself. If you are in this neighborhood, get something out of it and shop at the nice Tibetan store a block or two away, with a very pleasant, polite Tibetan lady.

I was looking forward to a fun, queer night out, but was met by so much judgment and rude behavior from the staff here that later STOLE MY MONEY. I was ignored by bartenders on the first floor at an empty bar three times in a row for multiple minutes straight while they fully stared at the wall behind me or played DJ on the iPad; then I asked a staff member upstairs politely about where the event was supposed to take place because I had never been to ALOHO before and without even acknowledging me they just pointed; I felt so uncomfortable that I ultimately did not leave an additional tip at the bar when closing my tab for the first time in my life. I always leave 20% but I felt the staff were going out of there way not to help me and be incredibly rude. I later get a charge to my credit card for $20 more than my bill, meaning the bartender stole money from me and committed FRAUD on my receipt. This place has consistently awful reviews and I wouldn't waste a single dollar here ever again. The vibes are so horrible. Do better.

I looooove it here! I have only been twice and on Thursday nights. It's not crowded, the energy is so great, and everyone is having fun. It's completely inclusive, everyone's friendly. And the menu and drinks are very reasonable and delicious. They have steak and cheese egg rolls, sweet potato tater tots, broccoli and cheese bites, a very smokey jalapeno popper, etc It's decorated so hip and inviting, TV is conveniently displayed as you walk in, with old school video games to complement, upstairs a dance floor with sweet Djs and 3rd floor outside. It's seamlessly interacts with Pitchers next door which feels like you're in this magical world of rooms with possibilities right around the corner. Bring your dancing shoes and your apetite!

Tito's with sprite and 3 limes please! My bartender Jo craft me a tasty drink. After chilling at the bar, trying to guess some of the trivia questions, we decided to try a burger, it was yumm, the fries were crispy and hot! Amazing place to hang out and make new friends. They also have video games that you can play. I won at our mortal Kombat match. Nailed it! Is great to see new venues catering to LBGTQ

Late post. My friends surprised me with a birthday brunch which turned into an all day affair. But we weren't ready to end it so we found this spot and brought the party. We had a great time! We found the upstairs by accident, ordered up a few snacks, and asked the bartender to turn up the music. It's a PARTY. The vibe was great, the staff was accommodating, and the drinks were good. I didn't even know this spot existed. I don't get out much, but I'll definitely return to chill with my people.

My wife and I tried to get in last night at around 10 PM. It wasn't crowded at all; borderline empty, in fact, and we'd hardly had any drinks up to that point (2 each). We were more or less just starting our night on Adams Morgan. I kid you not, this is what happened: "We can't let you in tonight, come and see us again another night." Why, we ask? "We just can't. That's what our other door staff behind us told us. Come see us another night." Are you sure you're thinking of us, we ask? We literally just got in line. "Yes. We can't let you in." This one is the most bizarre things I have ever experienced. Enough to the point that I actually felt compelled to write about this encounter. I don't usually write these kinds of reviews. We were in line for all of two minutes and did not say or do a single thing to draw even a modicum of attention to ourselves, let alone negative attention. I wish I could put into words the blatantly rude, smug doorstaff conduct we experienced. It was dumbfounding. Maybe they profiled my wife and I for some other drunk couple they'd seen earlier in the night? Who knows; we sure don't - they were terrible at articulating anything. And no, doorstaff, we won't "come see you again another night", because we're not from Washington DC, you give a god awful impression of your business, and you are quite frankly a joke. We do, however, appreciate you spoiling what would have been a nice start to our night. Thankfully, the reggae bar next door was happy to have us. Very nice and lowkey bouncer; perhaps you could learn a thing or two from him. In short: get over yourselves.

I am and always will be a lesbian bar advocate. I've been to 4 out of the handful in the country. This is my least favorite of the 4. Firstly, it's run by a gay man who also runs Pitcher's, the gay bar that shares the space with League. This means it is not only over sought by someone outside the sapphic community, but there are men everywhere. It's a 5 story building and League gets the basement. There are men everyone. It's also become one of those annoying spaces where straight people frequent, so I've been unwantedly touched while on the dance floor there multiple times. Also, the prices for the drinks at League are more experience than the ones at Pitchers. I don't know if it's a build in additional fee, or what, but it's predatory. As a trans nonbinary person of color, I generally don't feel welcome here. It's not very trans inclusive. I've been asked weird questions about my gender by a sapphic. The bartenders are fine- the Pitcher's ones are generally ruder and the League ones are nicer and more friendly, but due to the smaller bar space, they are often overrun (which is not their fault). I've spent many nights here and I don't recommend. Also, this isn't based on personal experience, but I know people who have been dr*gged there and have been dismissed by bartenders when reporting. They also are not accessible and people in wheelchairs have been kicked out. I would even go so far as to call this place generally unsafe for anyone who isn't a cis white lesbian woman or a cis white gay man.

The bouncers here are very rude and look for people to kick out. They must not get paid enough because they're that bored. Pathetic

We came in today around 5:30 or 6pm. The one focused Queer experience we sought out in DC was the most unwelcome we have felt in DC. We walked in and weren't even welcomed but told we needed to show our ID and leave our bags in the cubby. We are in our 40's and 50's and have experienced our own as Southern natives. There was a bartender and a few people in there. Noone was kind and the space was completely filled with such a bad negative vibe. We walked up to the restaurant and sat at a table for about 5 minutes. Noone even looked at us. We were so uncomfortable and completely put off by the vibe that we walked down and got our bags and left. So very disappointed. Completely flabbergasted by the entire experience. Especially in this climate we are living right now. I don't know what was happening there but that is not the Queer world we live in, even in NC. When Queer people come together it is a moment. This was a missed moment. This broke my heart and this made me feel like that unwanted teenager trying to find my way in the world. You have to do better. This is not okay.

Came here on a Thursday night. They had trivia which I missed, but I was able to catch the drag show. The energy was incredible and it was a fun time. I had great convos with two of the bartenders. I played one of the games, and the drinks were hitting! Loved this place and I will come back if I ever get the chance again. It's nice to see that an establishment like this exists in the area.

coming into the place, we weren't acknowledged. Once inside we were overlook by the bartenders for over 10/15 minutes at an near empty bar. finally, the attendant took our drink order as if doing us a favor. the vide in the place was unsettling. and it was late evening, but we were made to feel as if we came during the setup stage. my wife and I felt unwelcome. i won't be returning, not because I feel i need extra attention, i just need to be acknowledged and welcomed as a guess in someone's spending money in an establishment. Me nor my friends will be returning. because I'm not a person known to ask for much. I guess I remind them of someone

I had such an amazing time here! So many lesbian bars have been shutting down and lesbians desperately need safe spaces where we can be ourselves. I loved the multiple floors of atmosphere, the roof deck, the music, and the diverse crowd of women. It was the most fun I've had at a club perhaps ever. Only downside is as the night wore on there were some creepy straight dudes. I can't fault the bar for that but wish single straight dudes would stay TF out of our space!

Heck yess! (Can I say the H word on Yelp?) what a vibe! I always have a great time here... maybe too much of a good time :) One thing, they do not have happy hour but that's actually okay because the drinks are priced very well! The bartender (and manager), Jo, is super friendly, makes a great drink, and fun for good conversation. She can also control the TV and will not mind changing the channel for you if no one else is watching whatever is on. If you want to order food, you have to go upstairs to the Pitchers bar. Sometimes you will need to go back upstairs to pick up the food. Just keep that in mind. I haven't had any of the food so I cannot comment on it. During some of the parties the place can get pretty crowded. Don't worry everyone is friendly so just have a good time! Also note: The bathrooms are gender neutral. I am so happy that this place has opened up in DC considering a queer ladies joint was much needed. Cheers!

ALOHO was so fun! The bottom floor has a few video games (mario kart on nintendo switch and a couple others). The drinks are strong and not bad, but also nothing special. They have some food options. We had the truffle tots and pretzel sticks - both were very good! Overall very happy with the experience!

I've been to this bar often for the past few years. Tonight, as I was trying to enter, the lady at the front told me my ID was not real and threatened to rip it up in front of me, but encouraged me to "try another door". My ID is legitimate, and I might be a few years younger in my picture but my face is definitely my face. I was really jarred by the experience of her threatening to rip up my real ID and she didn't even entertain the idea of giving it a second look, just threatened to rip it. I understand the plight of security and that maybe there are people with realistic fakes that you have to watch out for but I did not deserve that kind of treatment with a legitimate Washington, DC ID. Especially that she didn't quite turn me away but told me to try another door, and then accepted the rest of my party's ID's with no problem? I guess make sure your ID is real and even then be prepared to argue to check again. Don't argue too hard in case they actually decide to rip up your legitimate ID.

DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE "WELCOMING" I am so bothered by this experience, that I am writing this review on a Saturday night at midnight, right after getting home from this place. My friends and I had been upstairs earlier in the night. We got food and drinks at Pitchers, and made our way downstairs to this bar. We sat at the bar waiting to be greeted or acknowledged, but were not. My girlfriend tried to get the attention of a bartender or manager (we're not sure what she was) standing right in front of us, but was blatantly ignored. At some point, she gave up and just carried a conversation with us. About 10 minutes later, she managed to get the attention of another bartender. She asked this bartender for a margarita with a salt rim. The bartender told her that she couldn't add a salt rim to the cup (which made absolutely no sense, but whatever). After making this drink, she returned to standing as far away as possible and avoiding any eye contact (Mind you, this was a VERY slow night with people staying in because of the virus.). After some time, our friend decided she wanted a beer. My girlfriend flagged down the same bartender that made her margarita, and asked for two beers. The bartender sternly asked who they were for. My girlfriend told her that they were for herself and her friend. The bartender said "I made you a margarita... are you not going to drink that?" My gf then said "yes, but I'd like a beer for after." The bartender then said that she could not serve a person 2 beverages at a time. Since my girlfriend had a few sips left, she finished her drink. The bartender then said "see, now I won't give you this beer because I saw you chug a drink, and we are not in the business of getting people drunk." (Ironic, LOL) She then gave our friend one beer. I hadn't been drinking at all, but after hearing this interaction and seeing my group having to basically beg for this "bartender's" attention throughout the night, i lost all patience and desire to entertain this rude, arrogant person. So I gave my friend's beer back to the bartender, told her we didn't want it, and left. After leaving, our other friend, who has been before, said that this bartender had previously been a bouncer there and that she has ALWAYS given POC a hard time. It's so sad and upsetting that a person with a track record, and who obviously doesn't like her job OR people, continues to work there and make people's' lives miserable. Please, do yourself a favor, and go to ANY other bar in Adams Morgan. NOT this hell hole.

Outriders WMC held their annual year end party here. We had a great time. The party was catered by them and they did not disappoint. They gave us a little section of the downstairs and set up really pretty tables. The food was delicious. Lets see....broccoli and cheese bites, buffalo bites, hummus and pita chips, pizza, cheese and pepperoni, fried green beans and OMG mac and cheese bites!!! Every single bit of the food we had was delicious, not oily and on point!! We worked with Leigh and Jo to set this all up. They were very communicative and worked well with our event committee members. They worked within our budget and the food came out periodically as it got eaten up so it didn't all sit out and get cold. Props also to Lexi our hostess/server. She coordinated with me regarding the dishes that were to come out and when it was time to clean up, offered the necessary take out containers and helped set it up. She checked in often and knew exactly when it was time for the next dish. After the party ended, we had food left over and what we didn't take was offered up to the hungry folks who did not refuse the goods. Some said they were eye ballin the food from the get go and was hoping we would share. We devoured the left overs we took home today!!! Ha ha ha. It was good music, great vibe, the games were fun and fun was had by all. I recommend this lesbian friendly establishment for all your soirees, and shenanigans.

Idk why every single time I come here, the customer service is not friendly. We went for pride, and apparently, they were supposed to be open til midnight. Was there for 10 min, before realizing they were closing up because they started stacking up the chairs at the bar. We were out of there by 8:30. Considering I had just ordered our first round, and the fact that I work in the service industry myself, I would've been OK with buying a second round before leaving but, I guess they just wanted us out of there asap is all I got from there. We were not wanted in their space.

Love it here! Super fun, multiple floors, nice bartenders. It's a great gay bar. My only complaint is it gets hot as fu** in there, but only when there's tons of ppl. Could definitely use more bathrooms, but the ones on the top floor are never very busy. Great bar for lesbians.

I came here on a Saturday night to go dancing with my friends. The person at the door was extremely rude and discriminatory towards my friend in a powered wheel chair. In fact, they had us and her powered chair waiting in the rain during a flash flood while we argued with them about letting us into the building. After some back and forth, we basically forced ourselves in but were told the only space we would be allowed to occupy was in the restaurant. My friend needed to use the bathroom, so we left her powered chair by the front door. This was also somehow a problem for the person at the front door who was extremely irritated and said we could not leave it there. Regardless, we left it there and my friend used her crutches to walk up the stairs to the restroom. I waited for her and my friend to finish in the restroom and then we decided we wanted to stay and dance. My friend and I went downstairs to get her chair and brought it up the stairs. As we were assembling it, the person at the door marched up the stairs and started demanding we go to the restaurant where it was accessible and that we were not allowed to be on this floor. I argued with them for a while but they were so insistent and rude we just gave up and moved the chair back downstairs and into the restaurant. The entire experience left me feeling disgusted and disappointed that my friend was so obviously discriminated against. Although there was a ramp to the restaurant, we didn't see it coming out of our Uber and there was no information on the website about its accessibility. What I can't wrap my head around and what was most disturbing was the way we were treated. The person at the door was rude and ugly to us for no reason and spoke to us like we were less than. For a place that claims to be welcome to all, we didn't feel welcome at all. It was an awful experience and I hope the establishment does something to right this wrong.

I can really appreciate this space. I come from Tucson Arizona and understand the importance of space and how space can cultivate identity and expression. I interacted with the bartender and the door person. They were both kind and welcoming. They mad me two of the best drinks, they sang with the room, they danced with the room and expressed freely. Their primary target isn't black heterosexual men but they really allowed me to be in their space and jump in. I had an amazing time.

This team is absolutely amazing. Jo and Rachel are always so much fun and loving and open. The entire staff makes sure we never feel like the space is anything but open and welcoming and kind. But I came here for a singular purpose... tonight was game 5 of the WNBA women's finals and Sheri, one of the newer members of the team KILLED IT. She was super busy and never made any of us feel like a bother. She's an amazing professional and I now can't wait to come any night she's working.

Great Place To Socialize! I met a group here and I must say I enjoyed every minute. The bartenders and staff was extremely nice and the atmosphere is perfect. The drinks were very well priced. I do agree the energy is wonderful. I will definitely be back.

This is my favorite lesbian spot in the world! The Mac and Cheese upstairs was amazing and perfect to line the stomach before you order an amazing drink from the hottest bartenders in the city like meow!! I had a blast, On Thursdays there is a drag show, and they bring it!! Definitely going back!

Finally, an inclusive place for queer womxn in DC! I've waited a long time to have a bar that's affirming & accepting of all queer, trans, womxn, and non-binary folks. Jo, the manager, is always friendly and actively works to make sure that the space remains inclusive, and every other bartender takes this mission to heart. Plus, it's affordable - and a great place no matter whether you're grabbing a beer for happy hour or partying on a Saturday night!

I'm so grateful this LGBTQ space is open// especially during COVID. It's friendly, delicious, reasonably priced, and they are taking serious COVID precautions. I hope this place stays open-- also the truffle tots are fire!

Stopped by for some after-brunch day drinking with some friends. You couldn't tell this place just opened four days ago, everything looks great and the staff were super friendly and professional, especially bartender Allie. The drink specials were on point and of course I am thrilled to have a full-time lesbian bar. The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming (my friends were gay guys if that matters) and we had great conversations with other guests at the bar. I can't wait to come with my wife and watch football games in the fall.

Update: went on a Tuesday night for happy hour with friends and it was great. No noise issues! Much fewer people were there, which is probably why. Also tried the food and my friends and I unanimously liked the veggie burger. Good beer/cider selection too!

Finally, a bar catered to US! ALOHO goes along with the theme that Pitchers has with TV's showing various shows and movies and a couple of TV's where you can play some video games. If you are looking at PitchersDC look to your left and go down the stairs to get into the bar or you can go through Pitchers. Great bartenders who know their stuff and are very nice. It was great seeing all of us in the ocmmunity coming out and supporting this place. I hope it stays that way.

I have been to Aloho a couple of times now. I generally have no issue with this place. On two separate occasions I have felt taken advantage of. I'm only speaking of once incident where I had ordered two drinks on a Wednesday night. Tipped the bartender with short fringy black hair over 20%. The next day I get an email from my bank to make sure the charge was correct because they noticed I had over tipped. I look at my statement and it wasn't. The bartender had given herself two extra dollars on top of what I had already given her. My handwritting is very clear & I've never had a problem like this before.. that being said it still could've been a mistake, but In the eyes of the law it's fraud as well as me not trusting this establishment with my money

I'm so happy this place is open during COVID and that they take many precautions to make it a safe and delightful place to grab some drinks. Amazing service! Server even got my pronouns right! Also, their tots are insanely crispy! Please support this fantastic establishment.
