Whitlow's DC

"The decade-old Arlington dive resurfaced across the Potomac in 2022, and owner Jon Williams caters to lots of D.C.-native sports fans like himself with plenty of TVs on each level, cheap beers, and a solid happy hour. Its second D.C. location debuted at the Wharf this spring with bars on both scenic levels, TVs indoors and out, and a huge projector screen airing all the big games." - Tierney Plumb

"The Brunch: Tara Hoot’s Campy Bingo Brunch This monthly booze and bingo event at Whitlow’s DC is our favorite drag brunch when we’re looking to get our competitive juices flowing. It’s part drag show and part game, and winners get prizes like rainbow inflatables and self-care packages (and of course, bragging rights). As for food, the menu at Whitlow’s hits all of the bar food basics, including some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken tenders we’ve had in DC. They also have a $25 bottomless deal, which includes mimosas, Bloody Marys, and orange crushes, plus a take-home mug that’ll save you five bucks if you bring it back the next time you come.

"This old-school U Street bar really shines in the bar food department.We love everything on the menu, which generally sticks to the basics, but the grilled cheese and chicken tenders are some of the best versions we’ve had in DC. Come to this shiny oak and gold spot to grab a drink before a night out on the town, or down $25 bottomless mimosas on a Sunday while you play drag bingo." - Tristiaña Hinton
