Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar

Great beer selection and one of the best bar tenders who really knows his whiskey and beer. Nice little tiki style outdoor patio in the back and dance floor upstairs

Mike’s got a real gem here. A huge Saints fan who opens up the upstairs for Louisiana transplants to enjoy the game together. Don’t come looking for the red zone channel… This is Saints territory. The downstairs bar has a great selection of local and craft beers as well as plenty of whiskey choices to warm you up on a cold DC evening. Step in and have a few in a local favorite.

I love this bar. I have had so many good nights here and have met so many strangers who became friends here. Anytime I have family or a friend in town and I want to go to a chill bar this is where I take them. I feel safe and welcome in this bar. Love the selection of beers and that they have a frozen alcoholic beverage available.

its a dive bar with a lovely bar and dancefloor upstairs. i love their music selection. i will definitely go back. there was great vibe.

Great atmosphere and excellent beer selection. Great 80s DJs on the last Wednesday of every month upstairs (Cure, Smiths, Cult, etc.)

Friendly respectful bartenders Safe but rowdy weekend with music spinning upstairs Week notes are more intimate but still energetic...always good music downstairs and up ... Down stairs is rock records of all genre on nice speakers upstairs rap and pop (only weekend) on pa Is usually get Pabst but I’ve seen whiskey enthusiast come in and enjoy a variety of flavors. Also lost my wallet there one night and no one even took it was on the floor next day with all items inside

This place was okay. They tried to go for a New Orleans feel, it kinda comes off as a cluttered, teenagers room who is not 50 and lives with his parents still. Nice folks that work there. No beers on tap only can and bottle which is fine leaves room to change out beers. They have a pretty nice selection still. If you plan to use your card know there's a $10 minimum or there's an ATM in the corner. Enjoy the vaulted ceiling in the bathroom. And there's stairs to go to the rooftop and I believe live music on Thursday nights. Fun place. But I don't see myself going back anytime soon. Edit: multiple people describe this as new Orleans feeling bar in previous comments and multiple people say cash only, and in any pictures I see....I see no 100+ selection of beers. Possibly the owner should post some pictures of their own so their customers don't have to be "clued in" after the fact. (: cheers!

Kind of dark and dive-y but if you’re into that vibe I’d say go for it. The cheapo whiskey flight is cool - The Awesomeness is dangerous. I like the patio. The dance floor was mad crowded, some girl was rubbing her butt on me, some other girl was begging my bf to dance with her but we successfully gave her our friend Mark instead. Now you know.

I can always appreciate a good bar that caters more to beer lovers with a theme and an ambiance. My partner-in-crime on this caper was not particularly a fan of beer and in reading the detailed description a drink that sounded like an amazing cocktail, she ordered a sour beer. It was pretty top notch and she enjoyed it enough so that's a win. I ordered an actual cocktail, Dark and Stormy. It wasn't one of the best, but it wasn't bad at all. The menu is a bit chaotic as to how all the drinks are just kind of mixed in together and it's way too many words to peruse per page especially if you're already under the influence. I wish I took a picture of the menu but it was hurting my head to try to pick something out. The locals seem to already know what they want the moment they walk in and I get that but...yeah. Nevertheless, this is a good spot and I'll likely pop back in the more time I spend out here.

I visited Little Miss Whiskey's on a Saturday afternoon while exploring H street. It's very easy to miss as the outside of the bar has pretty low curb appeal or signage. I must say, the interior of the bar is really cool - there are deep purple lights throughout the spot that give this a grundgy, deep, gory glow. The theme seems to be dark, rock, demon based which is pretty cool - definitely a unique interior. I do wish there was a bit more light; something about the darkness make me a little sleepy and definitely made it a little tough to read the menu. Not shockingly, the bar specializes in whiskey - there was a giant menu with ALOT of options of whiskies and whiskey based cocktails to try. Selection overload so we went with a couple Jameson and gingers haha. The drinks were solid and just what I would expect from a rail. They do not offer food, but let guests bring in food from other restaurants so definitely plan to eat ahead or bring food if you want to stop by for a while. Technically, there is an outdoor patio but we didn't last long out there. I got bitten up pretty badly by mosquitos within 5 minutes of standing outside. On top of that, their patio is directly next to the neighboring restaurants dumpster area, so you can imagine what it smelled like out there. I like the idea of having a patio, but would love a bit of a cleaner + more comfortable environment out there. A cool bar to stop in once to check our the interior, but I didn't find enough to make me want to come back regularly.

Sticky floors and prison style bathrooms. Upstairs floor felt like it was going up crash in below us!

I stopped in here once after waiting for some friends for a dinner. Parking on H St can be tricky sometimes, so I figured instead of coming on time and stressing that I would come a little early. After I parked, I walked along H St as I wondered where I'd go, and the purple lights caught my attention. I've walked by several times but never stopped in. Why not go now?? And it turns out its this place, a dive bar! Just imagine purple everywhere and some quirky dive bar posters and decor, and that's this place. It's rather spacious too. The bartenders were super friendly and despite being after 7, they had some reasonably priced drinks! There was also quite a variety of beers and spirits to choose from. Vibes were on point -- I'd go back! It's definitely one of the best bars on H St (right now).

I visited twice last year and while it's out of the way for me, I've been wanting to go back. This place is a vibe overall. I love dive bars and am over some of the younger bars in the Clarendon and DuPont area. They do have a dance floor upstairs if that's your scene but it's still a different crowd. The aesthetic is awesome and they have craft beers, unique seltzers, and their own frozen drink. Bartender service is good and quick and overall, they're very nice. I highly recommend if you want a more chill scene on a night out.

One of my very favorite bars in DC! Funky, fun and gorgeous. Bartenders are all FANTASTIC. And you can count on a good dance party upstairs on weekends, with a rotating selection of DJs. Really great spot if you're looking for options - spaces you can enjoy a (strong) drink and catch up, and spaces you can get your groove on. If you're looking for a private event space - I also hosted my birthday here, and they helped make it the best night!

There aren't enough stars to give to this place. Most fun I've ever had in DC. Music is usually fantastic. Crowd can be weird - kinda like if theatre kids got let loose in DC - but I love it, it's part of the charm

Ambiance slapped, bartender was fun and friendly, didn't try the food but enjoyed our drinks

We dropped in off the beaten path and found this place with the help of Nudge. The ambiance was instantly transformed into a tranquil place where we could enjoy our drinks. The place was quiet, but in a pleasant way. The outside was hard to discern if this was the place they said it was on google. Our party sat in the large table in the front that was the perfect size for our group. The bartender was able to attend to us quickly. He also gave us a menu, which was really confusing to read. Therefore, we just ordered simple drinks. It was not the usual liquor we were used to, but it was definitely high quality and well made. We were not hungover the next day either which made it wonderful. If you are bar hopping on H Street, this is a place you can stop by along the route.

The diviest of the dive bars! No sign out front indicating the name or what to expect. We sat at the downstairs bar, lots of seating for a Thursday night Happy Hour time and the bartender was very nice and friendly. Lots of choices of drinks. My rail drinks were STRONG, boy! Be ready! LOL They like to get their out of towners drunk, I suppose. 30 some bucks for 4 drinks for 2 people, not bad at all. Upstairs, they had some sort of a karaoke event going on but it didn't affect the vibe downstairs nor did we hear it. Could have actually used some music or maybe a TV downstairs. A little dark and the seats are very slippery. I kept sliding off because of the material of my pants! LOL. Bartender let me swap it out for a stool.

Hands down my favorite bar in DC. The best way I can describe this place is simply COOL. The lighting, decor, the whole vibe is kind of like something out of a Mad Hatter's wet dream. The bartenders are great at what they do. The bar has a huge selection of craft beer. Their signature drink is the AWESOMENESS. Just get it. Don't waste time debating the question. Order one and thank me later.

This is hands down, the best bar in town. The employees are exquisite just like the atmosphere, vibes, and aesthetic. You can come in this establishment in anything and be comfortable, welcomed, and served with outstanding performance. Everyone is very down to earth. Just don't be an idiot; everything is grand. Not totally new to town, but new to the bar scene. Sincerely, I love LMW. Highly recommend. The owner is cool too. Very kind people.

What I am mad about is that I have not been here before. This bar was one of my favorites that I have been to in the city. The decor, atmosphere, and lighting is something other bars wish they had. The bar has an identity to it that makes it more unique than other bars/dancing places in the city. From the front staff to the bartenders, everyone there is super friendly and the music was absolutely stellar. The DJ knew how to remix songs in such a great way that I really vibed to the music. It was described to me as the most "LGBTQIA+ bar minus the drama" aka, Pitchers was shaking. The vibes were immaculate there and I definitely will be returning.

Don't let this (light) purple painted place fool you! I am sure you've walked past LMW several times wondering what the heck is going on in there. Well, keep walking if you don't like dark places, loud music, and gothic type decor. STOP IN, however, if you want a nice dose of AWESOMENESS!!! It will have you, well, on the floor! I came to LMW several years ago for a work happy hour. And to my pleasant surprise, just 2 of these little dangerous and innocent looking slushy drinks had me on my ...rear end lol Good stuff! So, I stopped into LMW the other night to introduce awesomeness into the life of a new friend. He loved it and now we BOTH are even more awesome lol Thanks to Victor - our 'tender'- for the love! You're awesome tooooooo!

Out for a bit with friends while in DC and we were in the area. Wanted to check out new to me establishments and had a hard time getting my friends to venture into here. I really didn't care as I was out to have a good time. Went inside and headed right for the bar and got myself and a friend a drink. Fast and courteous was the service, it was like a blink of an eye. I drug my friend upstairs to check out the dance floor. Didn't really enjoy the upstairs area as much as I thought I was going to, but it was no fault of this place. It was just super crowded on a Saturday night. Be careful or you may take an elbow to the face if not paying attention. People are in here to have a good time. The atmosphere inside is one of fun. Gives you that dive bar vibe with the low lighting and dark feel everywhere. The music is loud and kind of makes your body vibrate even if you are not dancing. Great little stop that I wish I had more time and more people to enjoy it with.

We had dinner on H street and were looking for drinks after. I don't know why I expected something totally different based on the name but I was pleasantly surprised when we rolled up. This place is weird in the best way. All kinds of eclectic stuff on the walls- gives me kind of the same vibe that The Big Hunt used to a million years ago. Their beer options were very diverse and the slurpy/slushee drink was dangerously delicious. The bartender moved fast as hell for how many people were in there.

The security guard and bartender literally yelled at me & my friends for not finishing up drinks when they still had another 30 minutes. But they didn't bother other customers. Discrimination against deaf people? Great drinks but rude server.

I came to this part of town on a whim and did a double take when I saw the purple building with a fleur-de-lis (a slice of New Orleans anywhere is a welcome sight). I came in close to closing so didn't drink anything and I can't even remember if the music was on, but the crowd and decor was exactly what you'd expect from a friendly neighborhood dive. I made friends with some locals who ended up taking me to another bar, loved this place!

This is a grunge lovers paradise. It may not be for everyone and every day, but if you want a no-thrills, down to business good time this is the place. I'm a sucker for a dark bar with a large selection of beers and whiskey, and this was perfect. The bartenders were friendly and responsive, and the clientele was diverse and respectful. I started with the Game of Thrones scotch tasting, three 0.75 oz pours for $15. For the quality and uniqueness of the scotches offered, I think this was a great deal. All flavors and bodies of scotch seemed to be represented in the options to pick from. From there, I had what may have been the most delicious beer I've ever put in my mouth, Southern Tier's Creme Brulee milk stout. The first sip was the kind of thing that makes you just sit and ponder what in the world you just drank and how you can get your hands on an endless supply. It was a happy surprise that from their extensive beer list I landed on something new that I loved. I'm sometimes overwhelmed by choices that I panic and end up with something completely not up my alley... this wasn't the case. If you embrace the imperfections of the physical space, you'll find a gem. If you want something clean and refined, it's not the spot for you. There's a unique quality about Little Miss Whiskey's and it comes from not only the large selection of GREAT drinks, but from the low lights, possible dirt on the floors and a ceiling shaking from the drummer playing live upstairs. Grab a beer you've never tried before and soak it all in while you people watch or go upstairs and dance your heart out.

BEWARE, BEWARE, BEWARE- if I could I would give it zero stars. I went here to check it out and tried to give it a chance but noooo it is a shithole. The bartenders are also ASSHOLES specifically this guy in this photo. Grungy as hell bathrooms and odd people - don't waste your time. I went down the street to a random hole in the wall and that was so much better. Don't come here. Additions 9/6/18 regarding Mark's note. Yelp is a platform to review businesses and that is exactly what I did. It is important to inform other consumers how an experience was. Clearly, by your long message to me - this is NOT!!! a place to visit. You criticized my review as well as other reviews. I am not the only one you have spoken to like this via message. Perhaps you should channel that energy towards fixing your business, personality and employees. P.S. Your waffle maker comment is hilarious, nice irrelevant touch!! Btw- I sure do love my waffle maker :))

The bartender tried to steal our card and acted like they gave it back when it was found it was under their tip jar

Since Copycat was packed on a Friday night, my friends decided to check out Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar, a bi-level hip lounge that serves a long list of beers. I loved how they carried Austin Eastciders Blood Orange Cider and Pineapple Cider. I was curious about their frozen alcoholic beverages and highly recommend their Sweet Tea.

This bar is an absolute gem! They have great drinks, an awesome vibe and a hella good play list... what's not to love?

This place is really cool and has an excellent selection of drinks! The decor is fun and quickly and the layout is super nice! They actually check vax cards too which was great. However the bartender was both racist and sexist and told the security to racially profile people so I probably won't be coming back, kind of disappointing for a "progressive" neighborhood

*Btw...I am review #69! Yeow!* For some reason whenever I walk in here, all I can think is that this place would make the best backdrop for a music video. With me as the star, of course. And if I were to shoot that video, my cameo guest list would rival Michael Jackson's Liberian Girl. But Don King, is definitely out. In fact, the cameo list would look a little something like: David Bowie Outkast Pat Benatar Snoop Dogg MIA Grace Jones Robert Downey Jr Lady Gaga (sans unicorn heels and paparazzi) Why? Because they are awesome too. Can you just imagine Snoop and Robert Downey hanging out in the barbershop chairs? Actually, better put Snoop outside on the patio where he can get some "fresh air." There are green plants back there too, so I'm sure he would feel a little more comfortable marinatin' out back. MIA can keep him company and Outkast can kick it with Robert in the barbershop chairs as they sip a lil' cognac. I'd probably rock out with Dave (we're like that), Grace and Pat upstairs on the dance floor where the DJ really gets it in. He really impressed me with his mix, busting out some old school songs from the 80s and 90s and present that are all very danceable and novel, but not cheesy. The ode to Tara's sexy would take place in the private side room, where Lady Gaga and her gaggle of male dancers would be kickin' it a la Madonna's Truth or Dare. I'd give all of them a kiss on each cheek before my montage of flattering shots with my posse having fun. *Whoa, I just got entirely too into that.* Anyway, the drinks are cheap, the decor is fun, the music makes you dance like you're in your bedroom and the crowd is a lovely, eclectic mix of folks. Just do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're ready for a change of pace and an insanely fun night!

Nice atmosphere and good drinks. It is a upper 20's and up crowd. Which is nice. However, the dj they had the night I went out was not that great. Bad timing. So so music choice. Definitely if you're looking for quick throwbacks it's worth going. If not, maybe try somewhere else. I also went to the bathroom. The ceiling was leaking on me. It smelt awful and it was not clean.

I loved visiting here from Seattle. The service was great and Amanda was attentive and made great drinks. They had an awesome DJ upstairs and another bar too! I love the cool purple lighting and atmosphere. Oh yeah, they have one of the best and most varied craft beer selections that I've come across - and the bartenders knew what they were talking about (I'm picky about my beer). As you might guess by their name, they also have a killer whiskey and spirit selection. If you are in the area definitely check it out! No cover and super fast, genuine service and employees.

This bar is a trendy H street destination, with plenty of mixed drinks and bottles but no drafts. Also a DJ upstairs on the weekends and a patio out back. Their trademark drink, "the awesomeness" tastes like a jolly rancher. There used to be a tally on the record number consumed in a single night but they apparently did away with a that. Shame. All in all it's a good spot for a Saturday night out but due to their lack of beers on tap and overpriced bottles I have to give 3 stars.

Very cool! Sweet bartender and great choice of beers. Glad checked it out. Food? No, but unlike Iowa, in my little rural area, two steps to the left it right,and there is food to be found.

this place has a check in offer, and i thought i was being savvy and saving money with checking in... NOPE. lol the check in offer is for 8 dollar awesomeness... which is the normal price. man... after finding out it was the same price i didn't feel special anymore. :( we got 1 awesomeness and 1 whiskey sour for about 14 bucks? very cheap for bar drinks. the awesomeness is some sort of alcoholic slushy that is yellow in color. remember when your mom told you not to eat or touch yellow snow, well, this is the only exception... so drink up buddy. the alcohol content was kinda weak, so its supposed to be more of a drink to chill over and chat with friends with. not something you want to drink to turn up / get drunk. be careful though... it'll cause a nasty brain freeze when drunk too fast. i felt paralyzed for a few seconds after it hit my head. very painful. there is a dance floor upstairs and another bar. they were mainly playing hip-hop. i smelled rotten fish in the middle of the dance floor, weird i know... so i don't know if someone needed to take a shower or if they used this place for a sushi dinner the night prior.

This place has a cool vibe for industry people. Unfortunately there is a person with a Mohawk that makes this place extremely unpleasant. I will be using they/them pronouns as I don't know if this person prefers she/her. This person closes up early and abruptly doesn't let people finish their drinks well before closing time. Tells anyone but their friends to get up. I've seen this person get into physical arguments with guests that called them rude before, over asking their response for asking for a napkin. I tried to be understanding and see that there may be two sides to it. As it's covid , and we are all struggling in the industry. Tonight was the most appalling thing I have ever seen take place in any establishment. They went over knocked over a chair and said something along the lines of "that's right I did that" , they were talking to a group deaf people that were enjoying their time there. They said "you can't hear but you can feel, time to get out." I saw one person in the group( of I wanna say about five) drop their mouth in disbelief. It was around 2:33 so everyone should have still had time to finish their beer. I too was rushed and didn't finish but, again I was trying to be understanding of staffing with covid until this incident. There was no verbal last call announcement made, at least not loud enough that I had heard before this, the lights went up at 2:30 and everyone was told to get out, "get butts out of chairs" with out any real grace period. I sincerely regret that I didn't say anything to that mohawked person before leaving because the comment they made to them was completely inappropriate , after going onto yelp I can now see this isn't the first negative interaction they have had before with deaf people. Repeated acts of discriminatory behavior or comments should not be tolerated. I will not be patronizing your bar as long as that person is working there. I will tell everyone I know to do the same. #tellthegallaudetstudents #protestlittlemisswhiskeys #cheapdrinksarenotworthsocialinjustice #dcuniteagainstdeafdescrimination

As an out of towner, my friend who lives in the neighborhood recommended this place. It was so fun!!! It was a great way to see another side of DC. The venue reminded us of SF, and the drink menu was extensive and interesting. You have to get The Awesomeness! I also tried the mighty mint julep and it is strong!! The dj there was awesome and we really enjoyed the electro ambient music he played. The tacos by Joe Garlic was so bomb as well!!!! Who knew roasted garlic and tacos go together? We had so much fun at Kitty Saloon and everyone was super nice to us. Thanks for the good time! Pro tip: cash only. They have an ATM inside.

Kind of an oasis on H - if you can find the door, you enter a space with all the kinds of drinks you're looking for (consult the menu your first time in, even if you know what you're in the mood for - you might change your mind for a good find). The live and DJ'd music is allegedly excellent here - I hope to return and check it out later in the week. The house music ranged from The Supremes to Mustasch to Elvis to The Hives to...you get the picture. The main bar has plentiful options, the upper bar is slick (next to a purple Christmas tree lounge - yep), the back patio is an ethereal N'Awlins garden-like escape, and the black lighting and decor everywhere is kitsch n' gilt n' rock & roll. Margeaux is a beer expert by night, an accountant by day, and a pleasure to talk to. It's good. It's real good.

If you're in DC, this is the place to go for a New Orleans Saints game. Great bartender and cool vibe upstairs for the game... Also, great beer selection!

This place is mad weird...in a good way. I've come here a couple of times and both times have been pretty late at night on the weekends and it's never EXTREMELY busy. The first level is a bunch of people crowding the bar but never really taking up all the space, but the service is always fast and the drinks are good. The second level is hot, sweaty, and crammed with people dancing to whatever they decide to play that night. One time they were even closed for a birthday party so that was kind of weird, aside from this, they have a really nice outdoor patio that can be pretty intimate and nice if you want to escape the sound and hang out with friends.

Quality bar. Bartenders are great courteous pay attention and know how to work the bar. Good drinks great price.

It is kinda hard to find cause they don't really have a sign. They have very yummy drinks, and it's def lgbtq friendly. The dancing vibes are off though. Other than that, I loved my visit!

This bar makes me sad and happy at the same time as a native Washingtonian. This bar is a landmark of the gentrification of H Street, but I love the bar so I go with a constant cringe. The bar is a rock and roll style bar on the first floor and you'll hear hip hop upstairs. The bar is cash only so come prepared and they have a nice selection of local beers like DC Brau and eclectic imports like Grolsch. The bar is very diverse and I enjoy the DJ on the weekends upstairs, great mix of current and classic hip hop hits. My favorite spot on H Street.

Yes, it is a dive bar, even kitsch, but in the context of dive bars this gets 5 stars. BRING CASH. They don't take credit cards. The bartenders are super friendly, and both of them are hot (yes, the guy and the girl). Generous pour for the price. You have to try their own drink concoction called "The Awesomeness", you'll be feeling awesome, alright, after two of those, if you can still walk go to the upstairs where the dj plays awesome music...I think I danced...but, beware if you have more than two Awesomeness, negotiating the stairs on the way down, might prove to be one of the most challenging things you've ever done, since you were potty trained and learned how to walk, but it doesn't really matter because you will feel like a supermodel killing the runway - AWESOMENESS. This place is tons of fun. Good drinks, good music, and great people watching.

This is one of our go-to bar when we are with my boyfriend's best friend. Somehow he loves this place and especially their signature drink "Awesomeness" ($8, vodka slush with I believe lemonade). I am indifferent about it. I am a-okay with bar, although they have a large selection of drinks however they are mostly beer. I got a so called creamy chocolaty drink, it ended up being some kind of German beer that smells really good but doesn't taste that good. I like actually creamy drinks like White Russian or Captain Morgan's Coconut Rum, etc, and Little Miss Whiskey has none (unfortunately). However if you like a good beer or the Awesomeness, definitely come here. **Tip: Minimum purchase of credit card is $10. Altho I dont particularly like their drinks here, they do have a very nice atmosphere, very purple (every where is lighted with dimmed purple lights), kind of gothic but not really vide. They have a nice back outdoor portion and a "rooftop". One thing I would say tho, their bathrooms do need some cleaning, it smells kind of bad and the lights are a little bit to dimmed. The second floor has a nice DJ dance floor during the weekend night hours, lots of people. Overall, Little Miss Whiskey is a pretty cool bar to check out.

We ended up here pretty late night, but it was a good time. The dance floor is fun, and they have a good selection of beers. My one complaint was the bartender woman that served us did not understand beer well, and couldn't offer suggestions when I asked for anything in the hefeweizen/wheat variety. I'd check it out again, maybe a little earlier in the evening.

Step into a grungy NOLA inspired bar. While I don't quite get the name, I was very much into the setup: a little Halloween, a little neon, a little southern gothic, and a lot of fun. Lovely outdoor space, and even more private upstairs outdoor space.... great for smokers or lovers. Bartenders were attentive and the music was decent (to be honest, I don't remember it, which skews well). Take a good look at the posters on the walls, they're the real stars of the show.

Went in to have the Awesome drink that I had before when I came with my boyfriend. This time I was the first customer, after about 20 minutes more people showed up who I deduced were "regulars". They were loud and rude insinuating my sexual orientation and being loud enough to where I could hear the BARTENDER and the PATRON discussing my gender and race. WHO DOES THAT? When my friend arrived she had to flag the bartender down because she was so enthralled in the conversation she was having with her regulars she didn't even notice my friend waiting to order a drink - she ultimately didn't get one and we left to go to Smith Commons to spend our money. This experience is something I will be letting more people know about. Disgusting. I'm mad I even tipped her.

I love this place. The Interior is so eclectic, I love it just FYI and the drinks are the AWESOMENESS

Four and a half stars. I have a love/hate relationship with Li'l Ms Whiskey. Really it's because I find myself way more prone to debauchery here despite the mounting douche factor, and I guess there are worse champagne problems to have. Speaking of which, don't come here looking for champagne. Plenty of ATMs in the neighborhood if you forget it's a cash-only bar. H St parking is rarely impossible to find, but you may have to scope out a couple streets before being successful on a weekend evening. Otherwise you better like long walks, buses, or taxis. Generally unmarked except for neon "OPEN" light over the doorway at the top of some steps; I use the flag as a guiding landmark for people who haven't been there before. The bouncer in black with long hair, silver contacts, and enough piercings to trip airport security is super chill. If he's begging the other bouncer to switch doorman duties with him in lieu of being upstairs, that's sort of a hint that the upstairs bar has been taken over by douchey prepsters. And if my guests are alarmed by his appearance, then I know to keep them downstairs in the divey area because they won't be prepared for the upstairs danceathon. DJ sets start upstairs around 10 pm. I've seen a few spinning here, and they all crank out very different playlists from each other. The private area upstairs is by reservation only, and great for small parties; you get full exposure to the music and are able to choose just how much exposure you want to the sweaty sardine can of a dance floor later in the evening. You can seat about a dozen people there comfortably, but there aren't public seating options on the upper level, just a drink ledge surrounding the non-elevated part of the dance floor. Downstairs are bar stools and a few lounge chairs near the window. Decor borders on lunacy in a good way, and you can trust that the Elvis cutout periodically moves around. I've imposed a one-Awesomeness-per-night limit on myself. I'm well on my way to plastered before I can kill a second mason jar (or pint glass if they run short of the former) of the stuff. The drink is a slushie with a distinctive sweet tea sort of aftertaste, and an ugly race between brain freeze or finishing it before it melts. Wiser folks will gravitate towards the decent, limited beer list and stay away from the overpriced shots. Beer goggles and dim lighting are a deadly combination. I've never gotten around to trying the guy who grills on the patio on weekends, he's always been running late when I've actually been hungry. I also have failed to catch Kostume Karaoke on its alternate Wednesdays when it switches between here and Solly's. Every once in awhile a food truck will camp outside to catch the drunks on their way home. So other than hitting the surrounding establishments before their kitchens close, be aware that this is strictly a booze and dancing bar. LMW is like gravity, I'm drawn back whether I'm in the mood for it or not.

Everyone knows that I am not a fan of Little Miss Whiskey's. This is no secret. Yelp has bestowed upon me the unfortunate honor of being a regular here, because, I will admit, I've been here more times than I care to count (which is anything over 2 times. I think you should give bars/clubs second chances, because different nights/different crowds). Now, I love the music (mainly funk or hip-hop) and the (in)famous $8 Awesomeness. I don't like the people, I don't like the quantity of people, and I feel like I am going to fall through the floor. If a fire broke out, I would probably die. Not the way I want to feel when I'm getting drunk. Would I meet you for a drink on the first floor? Well, I would, but the music is too loud for me to sit and chat, and it is not my type of music.

We kind of stumbled into this place. I actually had no idea where the hell I was so I turned to ask a guy who looked like Fidel Castro and asked, "where am I?" So then I found out the name of the bar. Keep in mind I am completely sober, and I still don't have my wits about me to explain how I got here. I have learned to be smart enough to judge a bar by its location, menu and staff rather than the clientele. A bar owner can't control that. This place seemed pretty mixed, it's kind of refreshing when most DC bars have enough preppy douchebags to cleanse a whale's vagine, this place seems pretty down to earth. As a shy girl, I would be pretty comfortable talking to anyone in this place. I'm not sure if I noticed a plethora of "hipsters", but I moved here from San Francisco, I am pretty immune to that cause everyone kind of looks /acts like that. I have to say the best parts where the posters on the wall, the fact that some drinks were served in mason jars (I drink out of mason jars at home and the bathroom is filled with lotions, shampoos etc in mason jars) and the bartender who was not only friendly but awesome with recommendations. I heard several groups of people come up to her and mention what type of beer (as in taste, flavor)they were in the mood for, and she'd offer options. I even heard one guy say "she knows what's she talking about, I trust her". I was in the mood for a lambic but didn't want it too sticky sweet. She gave me this cherry beer and I wish I remembered the name cause it was awesome. Great patio, the upstairs seemed fun, not my style of dance music, but people loved it. And yes, this is a cash bar....

Great little, cash only dive with amazing beers and good whiskeys. Blacklit and cozy but has space to move. Why you shouldn't expect the phony smiles of a commercial bar from the staff, they get the job done efficiently. I highly encourage you to imbibe in this find.

We're from NY so we know the nightlife pretty well - Little Miss Whiskey's is the BEST BAR EVER! I have never danced so much in my life. With a mature crowd, great music that ranged from Jackson 5 to Cardi B - you will not be disappointed with the melting pot of folks you'll meet here. I wish I had one in my neighborhood and know I will certainly be back on my trip to D.C.

What a really cool bar. Marcus was awesome. The drinks were great. The atmosphere is gothic with lots of cool art. It's a dark, cozy comfortable bar. There are a good variety of German beers. Check it out!!!
