JR's Bar

I am a transgender 🏳️‍⚧️ and this place ihas been here a long time ,always bz , they have shows too , I just don’t feel comfortable to be around so many men and this place gets crowded .

Came out and it was a safe fun place in the late 80's to the mid 90's going tomorrow for old times sake.

I adore JR’s You must definitely make JR’s part of your romp thru town. It has happy door people, very very funny and smart artists who are fantastic drag queens and high fun energy and smart. There is a great balcony where if you don’t want to stand in the crowds one can take their newly found love up there to watch down on the antics of the show floor below. Their drinks are good but they strangely “don’t do doubles“ Which is the funniest and newest policy I have ever heard in a bar. LOL - thats ok though we still love you, JR and look forward o going to you nightly when we are back in District again!

Having lived in DC many years ago and frequenting JR's all the time, its was fun to go there again on a recent trip. The good thing is that this legendary Dupont Circle bar has not changed and that is good. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks were strong and reasonably priced. The bar is nicely decorated and now has a great patio our front to sit and watch the eye candy go by. If you have not been to JR's, you owe it to yourself to go and check it out. You will not be disappointed!

A great little “dive bar” in DuPont Circle. Not pretentious, laid back, great bartenders, and excellent mixology skills. It’s a good a homey vibe.
