This is a lovely LGBTQ+ establishment in the DC area. From the extensive drink options to great quality food items, the friendly service, and overall great vibes at LGP, this is a true 5/5 rating. It is always a pleasure to visit LGP and hang out with friends / co-workers. I especially like how the "elevated" experience here makes this place feel extra special. This is a must go place if you are looking for a great place to drink and feel included in the community! read more

Dear reader, Little Gay Pub is, quite simply, one of my favourite places in DC and a proper haven for the community. The space is beautifully designed, with thoughtful décor that makes every corner feel intentional. Even the bathrooms have become legendary selfie spots, and for good reason. The cocktails are consistently excellent. I especially love the espresso martini, which is dangerously good. The little bites are also worth ordering, particularly the pigs in a blanket, which disappear from the table with impressive speed. The outdoor seating area is spacious, comfortable, and even offers table service, making it an ideal place to spend an afternoon or evening with friends. The staff are absolutely delightful, quick, and genuinely friendly, creating the sort of welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Overall, Little Gay Pub delivers great drinks, delicious food, wonderful people, and immaculate vibes. I never miss a chance to stop in and already look forward to my next visit. read more

A "little" gay pub with a big personality and generosity. Very welcoming atmosphere with lovely bartenders and strong cocktails. The decor is a mixture of antique inspired stuff, pictures, and some copies of hand drawn things. They do serve food, but it's mostly finger-food items like a grilled cheese or hummus or pigs in a blanket. Overall, I can't wait to come back for more drinks and to chill with friends. read more

This came as a recommendation to us while we were in town and I'm glad we made it in. The service was great and the cocktails were... strong. The décor fit the vibe excellently and there's so much just to look around at. This will become a staple for us every time we're in the area read more

This is one of my favorite gay bars in the DC area. May be I am slightly biased as this one is the closest to our house. The building looks beautiful from the outside. Nice interior decor and outdoor seating with heaters in the winter as well. Outdoor seating has service. That's great. Service has always been phenomenal. They continue to check on us every 15 to 20 minutes. We arrived here around 9 pm and it was packed. We luckily found a 4 seater to catch up with our friends. I haven't tried many of their food yet. Maybe next time I will plan to have some food from them. Drinks were good. I am huge fan of Moscow mule. Never go wrong with ginger beer and vodka. Old fashion was great as well. I heard my friend did not like Negroni. Overall, a great space to be yourself and catch up with friends. read more

This is a wonderful spot as part of the DC gay scene. The spot has a low-key vibe where you can just hangout and meet other guys. I wish there were more bars in DC with this wonderful vibe. It is a spot right in the heart of DC and regularly offers drink specials. While I don't see myself staying here longterm, I do appreciate those who are dedicated to sticking around this wild city. read more

I love this place!!!!!!! The vibe was immaculate! Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I did not try the food but I feel like it would be good. Drinks were kinda pricey but that is normal for dc. Workers were fast and friendly. Would definitely come here again!!! read more

OLDer crowd. 40s to 60s. Kind of average noise level, pricy drinks, not sure if they're pre mixed or free poured. Limited menu. Maybe if I lived nearby i might frequent but the prices are too much for more than one a week quick drink. If you're in to a more senior crowd then this could be the place for you. read more

Always so welcoming and friendly here! The outdoor patio is dog friendly so we stopped in and made so many friends. The staff is so kind and attentive without being overbearing. I loved that they had a festive winter menu and plenty of NA beverages. Everything was so good and loved that they had food options as well. Such a good vibe here and always check the bathroom decor. Amazing location, service, and drinks. You cannot go wrong with a stop here if you are in the area. read more

Great music, staff, and atmosphere. Discovered the owner (who was there) was someone we all knew from a previous bar, and the festivities commenced! Good bar food, great music, and excellent people-watching. I intend to make this a regular stop and so should you. read more

We randomly come across The Little Gay Pub, and I have to say that we had a great time. First, I was very surprised that the pub was so packed on an early Sunday afternoon. I guess this mean it's the place to be on a Sunday afternoon. If you are not a fan of tight spaces (like me), this might not be the place for you. We were lucky enough to get a couple of seats at the bar - #PHEW. However, the pub does have some outdoor seating. The pub has a few specialty beverage which you might wanna try. At 1st, I thought the cocktails might have been overpriced at 15 bucks, but I realized that the drinks are double-sized. The pub's clientele seemed to be friendly, and somewhat racially diverse. The bartender (a Black woman) was absolutely amazing - probably one of the best bartenders in the city. Although the bar was jammed packed, we rarely had to wait for our next rounds. I had to LOL because I did not understand why the line for the bathroom was always so long because I thought guys were supposed pee fast. After seeing the pub's IG page, the long lines made sense. From the pub's IG page, a lot of folks take plenty of mirror selfies. I guess the bathroom line was long because some folks were trying to get that perfect pose. ;) If none of this has piqued your interest, pub's menu includes Dino Bites!!!! read more

The little gay pub is truly a unique experience and overall hidden local gem. While visiting the area my friends luckily live a block away from the pub and after dipping in for a quick drink, the pub quickly became a 'last Stop' before each day ended. Coming from the interior design back ground, I was not only inspired by the unique space. I've honestly had to give the designer of the space a bit of kudos for not over saturating the space design. Small details found through the pub really brings in the entire space and while discovering these small details, I'm sure I looked like a crazy person as I was staring at this squirrel, wall paper, and all the details taken into creating this space. Yet whatever, I'm an artist in space design and have a eye for small details. Drinks were amazing and staff are friendly. Patrons can be a bit much with their 'Gay Cattiness's' yet I've personally have learned to ignore these flaws in our community and rack up to the drinks being poured and not being apart of a 'Click'. Which I'm digressing for the subject matter, yet love the pub.....Overall the experience is fantastic and it's tradition to take a selfie and discover the hidden gem within the bathroom. Outdoor space is spacious with bench seating and really enjoyed the heaters built into the picnic tables. Totally took this design and recreated this for a recent project. Best of luck to the owners on your adventure and looking forward to my next visits. read more

Great bar! I have never seen a place so busy every day of the week, including some holidays! The drinks here are tasty (and strong) and the service is always amazing. Great music is played throughout the night and the vibes are great. Come here if you haven't before! read more

Another place I probably shouldn't go to as much as I do but c'est la vie. The drinks here are great and they always offer seasonal options. My favorite is the mile high club, which I recommend getting if you like mezcal or tequila. The service is friendly and quick. You can really tell that the folks here took their time with the interior and with creating a great ambiance. Everything inside (and outside) is really thought out which makes for a great experience. In the words of Beyoncé Knowles: ten ten ten, across the board. Yadda, yadda, yah, yadda, yah yah. read more

Love this place!! Amazing vibes, tasty drinks, really nice staff. We had a great time.

Oh this little bar is so cute! Came here with my bi son. We both loved it . We will definitely come back again. Also drinks are so good, will definitely try to food next time. read more

What a cute space. Apparently they're known for their espresso martini...not my jam. Drinks are ok I suppose. Fast service yields mediocre cocktails. Would like to go back when it's not pride weekend. read more

The food is excellent, with beautiful presentation and flavor. I ordered the empanadas, chicken, potato tots, and sliders, all of which were delicious. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly and beautiful. The ambiance is on point. Perfect, clean, and friendly. Beautiful decor. read more

Absolutely great place to go for drinks in appetizers with the people you love I love the staff. They're always nice and friendly helpful a great laugh. It's just the best place to go with really good music.. you must try their drink specials. The drinks are made to perfection. This is a spot you can go to all your long. Summer and spring are the best times of the year to just sit outside with friends and just connect. read more

I think this place should have a better Yelp rating! One star is probably not fair. First, I appreciate how much outdoor seating they have. The benches are honestly really nice! I also like the decorations. The bathrooms are nice too! And clean. I wish they had more bathrooms though. There was a line! Also, my drinks were good! They tasted good and they looked good. The service was also good. I wasn't expecting that! Super easy and nice. read more

The Little Gay Pub - Aperol spritz - Gay Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A cute & fun gay bar in Shaw/Logan (I don't know the technicality)! I loved all the fun decor everywhere. It was fun and you could look around for hours. It's definitely tight - so get there early and grab a table or your group will be standing. I wish there was more seating (not sure how they'd do it). The bar was heavily men throughout the night but still welcoming. All casual chatting no one danced or was belligerently drunk. I saw some of the food come out - it looked okay. My corona in a can with tip was $11 so definitely not ShowTime! Maybe they have happy hour but I didn't see anything about it. In terms of accessibility it was a very tight bar and every table was high top inside. I think there was also a step inside. It would be challenging to navigate inside. I can't remember the Patio situation but maybe it would be a better option. All in all would definitely recommend going! read more

It is exactly what it claims to be...a little gay pub! And a cute one! I love the flower entrance! The hot girl summer in a glass was so yummy! Great spot to have a drink outside this summer! read more

Cute bar in DC with a very nice ambiance. The outdoor patio was closed for the night by the time I got there (I assume due to noise ordinances). The inside isn't very large but it's decorated nicely. Had no issues getting service at the bar and staff were friendly. Drinks are pricey but that's to be expected at any bar in DC. read more

A friendly neighbor bar with a lively atmosphere. It can get crowded. There are several areas inside and outside for to meet up with friends or make new friends. read more

A fun spot to be on a Saturday afternoon. After a long day of walking we stopped in for a visit. Bartender couldn't have been nicer. The crowd was a nice mix of people. Outside seating was perfect for people watching. Inside was a bit too crowded for us. If you're looking for a place to see the scene D.C. put this on your list! read more

Avoid this bar. I couldn't get my ID out of my wallet so they banned us from the bar. literally the first place we went to. The bouncers are always unpredictable and causing fights with patrons. Choose another establishment. read more

Very Expensive !!! 2 Sapphire martinis, and 2 Tito martinis = $104.oo Like crazy! Both time we ordered they came out wrong and the bar wasn't even busy. Not worth it. An now I don't trust going there. I feel like i was scammed because I was new. read more

Horrible little place--AVOID and go elsewhere. Food and drinks are below average, and the establishment is tiny and not very clean. There are several nearby places that are much better. read more

I'm a frequent visitor to DC, and had been eager to try this place. My first impression: Not a friendly staff, and a vibe too precious by half. In fairness, it was shaping up to be the hottest day of summer, and perhaps the team was feeling the heat on this sunny Saturday afternoon. But the guy at the door barked "ID!" as his greeting, (I'm in my 50s) after which I proceeded to the bar where I stood for a couple of minutes waiting to order, with no other customers. Nothing--no welcome, no hello, no "What can I get you?" from the bartender putting away glasses. Again, could have been a one-off, but I certainly wasn't made to feel welcome. Thanks LGP, but I'll spend my money elsewhere. read more

At first we LOVED it here and came here often with our friends, this weekend in particular dogs were apparently not allowed. Fine we could have walked the dog home, but the bouncers were awful. Awful. "Such is life- we said no pets today." And then proceeded to talk about me and my party to others... Not welcoming. So put off. So sad. Was really rude. Would no longer recommend. Most importantly, talking about other customers... doesn't feel like a very welcoming place anymore. To add, our friends asked him what changed... and they were flabbergasted we were upset. Meanwhile we Ubered to their venue. No thanks. Highly recommend a pass at this point which is a huge bummer. read more

Fun neighborhood bar! This place is always packed and for good reason. Fun, friendly crowd, decent drinks, great patio especially on sunny days. read more

Bleck. I don't understand why people go to this place. I think its because dc is so starved for anything culturally interesting. And the bathrooms are nice but. Like. Its a whole thing. And also. So what. Id rather have less fancy bathrooms with people taking selfies and not pay ten times as anyone ever should for a can of crappy beer. I prefer to never go back. read more

We came here for late night drinks for my friends birthday so we didn't eat, but the Prosecco was good and if I'd been drinking liquor the unicorn tears looked fun! (Birthday boy liked it and the glitter on top). The bartenders and bouncers were all very sweet and the bar is just SO cute. I definitely want to go back! read more

Excellent ambiance, friendly and helpful staff, delicious cocktails. The only thing that is preventing this from being a six-star review is that the tater tots should come with chimichurri mayo read more

Amazing neighborhood bar! Stopped in for a drink on Thursday night and the place was pretty busy. Their house cocktails were delicious and the decor is very quaint! Definitely a great place to meet up with friends or start the night regardless of what direction the night takes you! Would come back 10/10! read more

The place has a little bar bites that are absolutely to die for. Especially the Dino chicken Nuggies feels like I'm a kid again. Not to mention, the bartenders are really attentive, and the decor is to die for. read more
