Dodge City Bar / Club

U Street Corridor, Washington, DC –

Within spittin’ distance of a slew of popular concert venues on always-busy U Street, little Dodge City brings in a big regular crowd of music lovers and a diverse mix of sports fans, casual clubbers, and anyone hankering for a decent pint.

A more laid-back vibe is the norm on the ground floor, where DJs spin mellow blues, funk, or lounge music beneath the funky artwork scattered on the walls, and casually dressed professionals chat it up along the rustic bar, downing a few pints from the wide selection of microbrews.

Those with an itch to grind can climb the worn stairs to the bar on the second level, where another DJ turns up the hip-hop, house, and other up-beat tunes on Fridays and Saturdays, and the open room fills with rowdier club kids looking to get their dance on.

When revelers need to cool off, they head to the back patio, which also provides a relaxed space to nurse a few throughout the week. Popular with sports-lovers who’d prefer to avoid a sports bar, the patio opens early to accommodate the NFL season, though Sundays host a grill team that keeps guests satiated with sausages all year round.

Whether they want to chill with a few unique beers, bust a move to local DJs, or enjoy some backyard grilling without having to clean up after themselves, U Street visitors will definitely want to get out to Dodge City.
