Madhatter

"The Dupont dive debuts a new $38-per-person brunch menu that includes an entree plus bottomless mimosas and espresso martinis. Served weekends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a DJ on Saturdays." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky

"Dupont's always-busy bar opens at 11:30 a.m. on weekdays, 10 a.m. on weekends." - Missy Frederick

"This D.C. institution in Dupont Circle open for over 40 years hosts a revolving happy hour during the week from 4-7 p.m. Specials on certain nights extend the fun like $1 beer nights with Coors Light mugs on Thursdays until close, and Taco Tuesdays features $3 tacos, $4 Coronas, and $5 margs." - Claudia Rosenbaum, Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi

"Take part in some debate bingo and chow down on $8 smash burgers at this Dupont Circle club. Red, white, and blue jello shots are $5, bottles of wine are half off, and the usual taco Tuesday special is also being offered during the debate." - Emily Venezky

"Madhatter is a Dupont Circle staple that provides excellent lunch and Happy Hour options. For decades, the Alice in Wonderland-themed bar has kept workers and residents fed all day without having them break the bank, and offers the youngest and brokest among us a place to get lit for under $20.  Grab one of the killer lunch specials like the $7 burger or $12 chicken gyro. Orange crushes are a staple here (even at lunchtime), just know that after a few, you’ll start to look as wild as the life-sized hatter in a giant teapot above the entryway.
