Join GayCities, the fun way to discover the world

The owner Freddie can make you feel that you've just stopped by his beach house for a party. The bar is the only gay bar in Northern Va. and they do a good job of being all things to all people. The drag bingo is fun as well as the overal crowd. The one sore spot for people used to DC would be that this is still VA. and the smokers know it!

Remmingtons is one of those bars that should be more successful than it is. The space is gigantic, the dance floor is large and it is located in Capital Hill close to plenty of gays. The crowds seem to be fairly small during the week and really only get hopping on Saturadays. When the place is full it is fantastic. Friendly crowd, and if you know how to two step you will have no lack of partners. The upstairs Karaoke is fun and attracts a completely different crowd then downstairs.

Annies is one of the few remaining restaurants in the DuPont Circle area from when it was the only gay hotspot in DC. The large interior can handle even the hungriest Saturday Night crowds and the front room gives you a great view of the gay crowds moving up and down 17th street. The combination steakhouse/diner menue is reliable comfort food perfect for a late night bull session after hitting the bars. Don't expect a lo cal selection, but you can burn off your meal with a nice walk around the neighborhood since Annie's has one of the best locations in the city.

Fun bar, with drinks half the price of DC, not to mention the best burgers you've had. The crowd is friendly and diverse and you really get a nice feeling of being in a fun local sports bar. Definitly worth the trip up from DC.
