Loyal to Ohio State and the Miami Dolphins, game nights at this divey sports bar are a cacophony of shouted commentary, cheers, and jeers.
This dive bar is not particularly crowded, even on a weekend, and the crowd is one of the mellowest in DC.
All of the necessary provisions for a debaucherous evening out: a dimly lit, red-tinted bar, a spacious roof deck, and a back room for games.
Tourists seek out the deep fried burger at this Capitol Hill dive, regulars just come to drink.
The Passenger is one of DC's darlings: it's a casual neighborhood bar that makes some of the best cocktails in town.
Perpetually packed in the evenings, but come during the afternoon to be able to grab a table easily and relax with beer and barbecue. Call ahead for the whole smoked pig head if that's your thing
