Binge Bar

"DC’s first (and only) nonalcoholic bar feels a bit more like a cross between a lounge, with its velvety rust and mustard-colored chairs, and a spa, thanks to the sounds of tranquil waves crashing in the background. But it’s a relaxing, low-pressure spot to come and get zero proof tequila and alcohol-free wine, all reminiscent of the real thing, with the guarantee of no hangover. The bar hosts a lot of events, so check the website beforehand to make sure it’s open when you want to swing by. " - tristiana hinton

"Binge Bar feels more like a spa than a bar, from the cucumber water to the silent waves lapping on the television screens. But DC’s only nonalcoholic bar is the spot to play board games with your friends when you’re looking for something that’s not so rowdy. Grab Jenga or Uno, settle into a velvety chair at a small white table, and sip “tequila” mocktails. " - tristiana hinton

"Stepping into this basement bar on H Street feels a bit more like you’ve walked into a day spa. There’s ambient music playing while silent waves splash around on the two TV’s, and when your cucumber water arrives, you might think you’re in the wrong place. But we promise Binge Bar isn’t a luxurious health club—it’s DC’s only booze-free bar. Snack on crispy lumpia and sweet, cheesy popcorn (which is free during Happy Hour from 4-7pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays) while you toss back a “reposado tequila” shot that will have you wondering if it’s the real thing. photo credit: Nina Palazzolo" - Tristiaña Hinton
