Chic hangout with a rooftop bar for craft cocktails, signature martinis & a concise American menu.
"Dirty Goose co-founder Justin Parker says he’s 'happy' for his outgoing general manager and agrees the city could use more LGBTQ-friendly bars. 'It’s always good to have competition — especially when you’re on the same block,' says Parker, who expanded his 5-year-old bar’s rooftop during the pandemic." - Tierney Plumb
"In addition to Pitchers, ALOHO, Number Nine, and Trade, other D.C. gay bars that have started requiring proof of vaccinations or negative COVID tests include the Dirty Goose, Nellie’s, and Uproar Lounge — all along the U Street corridor — and JR’s Bar in Dupont Circle." - Gabe Hiatt
"The Dirty Goose offers a simple food option of chocolate chip cookies from Restaurant Depot." - Tierney Plumb
"Nearly 2-year-old gay bar Dirty Goose (913 U Street NW) is working on making year-round drinking a thing on its growing rooftop. “Our goal is to double the size of our current rooftop by occupying the roof of the commercial building next door,” co-owner Justin Parker tells Eater of a plan to take over an adjoining rooftop (911 U Street NW). The expansion would increase seating upstairs from 28 to 43, and total occupancy from 48 to 99, according to an ABRA application first spotted by Popville. In addition to providing more space, Parker says a quarter of the new addition would be enclosed so that rooftop drinking can occur all year — “and not just during warmer weather.” Of course, all of that is dependent on permitting issues and final approval by local officials. “We should have a much better idea about the timeline in the first week of August,” Parker says." - Tierney Plumb
