Bar Charley

Top choice in Washington, DC


Bar Charley draws a mixed crowd from the neighborhood – young, old, gay and straight. They come for groovy cocktails sloshing in vintage glassware and ceramic tiki mugs, served at very reasonable prices by DC standards. Try the gin and gingery Suffering Bastard. The beer list isn't huge, but it's thoughtfully chosen with some wild ales. Around 60 wines available too.

If you're hungry, Charley serves steaks and globe-trotting small plates (poutine, curried mussels). The drinks are the prize here, though.
