"This classic H Street dive is a very laid-back place to bend the elbow. So order a Natty Boh tallboy and try to find the bar’s Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots game." - Emily Venezky
"Try clicking “specialty cocktails” on the website of this OG journalist bar, and you’ll be redirected to Cosmo. This no-frills dive has movie theater chairs lined up against a brick wall for seating, plus bar stools. Also from the same owners is the reliable watering hole Solly’s across town on U Street NW. That same strip also home to industry go-to Sudhouse." - Tierney Plumb

"In addition to the gay bars, a handful of no-frills watering holes in D.C. have also instituted vaccination requirements, including the Pug, Ivy and Coney, and Showtime Lounge." - Gabe Hiatt
"The Pug, which is licensed as a tavern, has remained closed for the entire 14 months of D.C.’s public health emergency, serving as a pop-up space for Peregrine Espresso to sell coffee during the day. As of Monday afternoon, Tomelden didn’t know if he’d be able to open at 50 percent, which would mean room for 16 to 20 people, or at a lower capacity because of social distancing protocols." - Gabe Hiatt
