The Tombs

20s / Bar Food / Brunch / Burgers / DJ

Party Earth Review Tucked beneath 1789 Restaurant, its swankier sister establishment, The Tombs is a lively sports-themed bar mere steps from the Georgetown University campus – and the venue has been a big draw for both students and faculty since it first opened in the early 1960s. Polo shirts and college-brand attire are the norm in this ... more

Ventnor Sports Café

20s / 30s / 40s / After Work / Brunch

Party Earth Review Though the owner hails from Philadelphia – and makes no secret of his affinity for the City of Brotherly Love – Ventnor Sports Café welcomes fans of every ilk and creed with a no-fuss “games-‘n’-beer-are-king” attitude. Twenty TVs scattered over both floors ensure no one misses an important play, while two bars serving ... more

The Pour House

20s / Bar Food / Blouses / Brunch

Party Earth Review It was born a Pittsburgh bar, but while Steelers fans still find lots of black and gold here, The Pour House has broadened its gaming appeal, making it as popular for Skeeball and trivia nights as it is for football. The bar’s expanded horizons attract sports lovers, staffers, and college students all week, whether it ... more

Sign of the Whale

Bar Food / Blazers / Blouses / DJ

Party Earth Review Since the early 70s, Sign of the Whale has served as a dingy retreat for overworked politicos and the barely twenty-one crowd looking to swallow their troubles and maybe harpoon a mate. Half off the drinks list during the 4 to 7pm weekday Happy Hour makes the venue a popular hangout for area young professionals ... more

Rhino Bar & Pumphouse

The Bottom Line

20s / Arcade Games / Bar Food / DJ

Party Earth Review A classic below-ground bar, The Bottom Line draws guests in with regular specials, sports on the TVs, and a vibe that’s as unpretentious as the Miller is cold. Past the roped-off and covered street-side patio, tired suits and not-yet-weary interns proceed down a short flight of stairs and into a single room ... more

Lucky Bar

20s / After Work / Arcade Games

Party Earth Review Three-dollar weeknight drink specials and a couple dozen TVs make Lucky Bar a fan favorite for after-work beer and sports – especially soccer, since it is one of the few dedicated soccer bars in DC.

19th

After Work / Brunch / Casual / DJ

Party Earth Review Although 19th has a subtle golf theme, this cozy neighborhood bar doesn’t discriminate when it comes to sports – and its décor suggests that drinking games are a better team activity anyway. Vintage alcohol signs take up much of the turf-green walls, commingling with placards bearing tried-and-true axioms like, “Beauty ... more

Public Bar - Restaurant | Rooftop Bar | Sports Bar in DC

DC is a relatively small political town, and certainly known best for being the nation’s capital, but the District also packs a solid punch when it comes to Washington, DC sports bars. After all, denizens go big time crazy over Washington Redskins football during the NFL season, as sports bars in Washington, DC overflow with fans cheering and toasting every touchdown.

Washington Wizards basketball also receives a warm welcome at District sports bars, so folks who can’t get to the Verizon Center to see the action in person can at least bop down to the nearest bar carrying the game – and chances are they won’t have to go very far.

Whether you’re a fan of Washington Capitals hockey or perennial MLS soccer powerhouse D.C. United, there’s no shortage of District sports bars that will keep you abreast of every high stick, penalty kick, bloodied lip, and faked clip. In 2005 the city added Major League Baseball to the roster too, joining the handful of cities with all four major American sports, so sports bars in DC are sure to have the Washington Nationals game on too.

From swanky sports bars in Georgetown and Dupont Circle to raucous dives in Adams Morgan and Downtown, Washington, DC sports bars make it easy to forget about politics and root for your favorite teams with beer and bar food in hand.
