Boston-themed sports bar with multiple TVs, rooftop patio
"Hosting the D.C. chapter of the Young Republicans on H Street and perhaps the only bar openly supporting Trump that night, the venue blasted Fox News on huge TVs across the restaurant and bumped country music during muted ad breaks; smaller TVs behind the bar ran CNN, ABC, and MSNBC without volume. The open‑bar cover was $35, paid to a Young Republican member working the door who said it’s been “insane all night,” and the crowd—full of American flag shirts and “Make America Great Again” hats—roared as North Carolina and later Pennsylvania were called for Trump. Upstairs presented a more somber, suit‑clad watching room; media crews circulated, patrons high‑fived and danced (at one point female bartenders danced on top of the bar to Rednex’s “Cotton Eye Joe”), and the crowd celebrated projected Republican gains in the Senate with ecstatic applause." - Emily Venezky
"This Boston-themed H Street bar will be offering a $25 open bar hosted by the DC Young Republicans. Doors will open at 7 p.m." - Emily Venezky
"Dirty Water, D.C.’s rowdy, Boston-obsessed sports bar that went all out on Patriots and Red Sox game days, suddenly closed this week after a 6-year run." - Tierney Plumb
"In late July, D.C. Lottery installed sports betting kiosks inside four bars: Dirty Water Sports Bar on H Street NE." - Gabe Hiatt
