Local watering hole for suds & shots, plus beer-friendly bar fare, smoked ribs & vintage games.
"Jackie Lee’s is an ideal neighborhood dive for happy hour or late-night shots. Customers will find $3 PBR cans alongside Austrian pilsner, local craft beers, and cocktails that range from $7 to $12. The food menu skews towards barbecue, with a couple vegan options, but chef Jaren Morrow hosts a “Kennedy Street Tacos” pop-up on Tuesdays." - Tim Ebner
"Brightwood bar Jackie Lee’s was one of the first D.C. dives to get in on the carryout cocktail game, with mule kits accompanied by two copper mugs." - Tierney Plumb
"This Northwest dive bar offers delivery from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on orders of 32-ounce, $32 “Quarantine Quarts” full of party punch, mule kits ($75) that come with two copper mugs, and $40 boxed wines. All D.C.-made beer and cider is $2 off. At-home essentials in the mix also include condoms and ice." - Tierney Plumb
"This Brightwood Park spot owned by a former Red Derby bartender invites customers to revisit their youth with a vintage Nintendo Entertainment System that greets visitors almost as soon as they walk in. The staff claims to have over 180 different games at the ready (good luck remembering all the cheat codes)." - Tierney Plumb
